    Insert a 10-32 hex head screw through the designated hole at the connection point. Place a #10 lock washer onto the screw, then secure it with a 10-32 hex nut. Tighten firmly to ensure a robust connection. Repeat for any additional connection points requiring this hardware.

  4. Install Additional Snap Components

    Engage any additional snap-connect components, such as covers or other wireway accessories, by pushing them into place until they click and are securely fastened.

  5. Mount and Torque Wireway

    Secure the wireway to its mounting surface using a 10-32 hex head screw in the designated mounting hole. Tighten the screw to a torque of 4.5 0.5 N*M (40 4.0 LBF*IN) using a torque wrench to ensure proper installation and stability.

  6. Install Internal Components or Secure Additional Points

    Utilize the remaining 10-32 hex head screws to install any internal components or to secure additional mounting points within the wireway as required by your specific application.
