How to Install the Lay-In Wireway

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring the Lay-In Wireway, ensuring proper assembly and sealing for effective cable management.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Drill, Wrench

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Gaskets, Nuts, Wire 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 assembly 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, ensuring that gaskets are visible and properly positioned.

  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 as described in the installation instructions.

  4. Adjust and anchor telescope fitting

    Assemble the telescope fitting with the compression ring and gasket, insert it into the straight section, adjust to the desired length, and anchor it using screws or threaded rods as necessary.
