Overview

Optimize your wireway system with the nVent F66B560 Steel Barrier Kit. Designed for 6.00x6.00 inch wireways, this gray steel kit effectively divides a single conduit into two or three distinct compartments. This separation is critical for preventing electromagnetic interference (EMI) between power and data cables, ensuring signal integrity and system reliability. The compartmentalization also aids in thermal management by improving airflow and simplifies maintenance by organizing cable pathways. Installation is straightforward, utilizing plated spring steel brackets that secure the barriers via a friction fit, eliminating the need for specialized tools. nVent recommends spacing barriers at 3-foot increments for optimal performance. The barrier and its supporting brackets are ordered separately, offering flexibility for custom configurations. Key benefits include enhanced cable protection against cross-talk, improved organization, simplified maintenance, durable steel construction, and easy friction-fit installation. The nVent F66B560 is an essential component for industrial, commercial, and data center applications requiring structured and protected electrical infrastructure. SKU: F66B560.

How to Install the Lay-In Wireway

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and sealing a Lay-In Wireway for effective cable management.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Gaskets, Terminal connectors

  1. Assemble the wireway sections

    Place a gasket between the flanges of the wireway sections and secure them using screws and nuts as shown in the installation details.

  2. Seal the joints

    After installing the wires, seal each joint between the sections using either the LSGQR fitting method or the 90° angle sealing plate method as described in the installation instructions.

  3. Install box entries

    Make a cutout in the control enclosure for the wireway entry, position the box connector and gasket inside, and install a 90° angle sealing plate to secure the connection.

  4. Adjust telescope fitting

    Assemble the compression ring, gasket, and retainer on the telescope fitting, insert it into the straight section, and adjust to the desired length before securing with screws.

  5. Anchor telescope fitting

    If the telescope fitting is used vertically, drill .25 inch diameter holes through the sides and bottom of the straight section and telescope fitting, then install screws with cap nuts and lockwashers.

  6. Calibrate and test

    After installation, verify all connections with a multimeter to ensure proper grounding and continuity across the wireway.
