Overview

The nVent F88GUCGV Universal U-Connector (SKU: F88GUCGV) is designed for 8.00x8.00 inch nVent Lay-In Wireway systems. Constructed from mild steel with a galvanized finish, it ensures durability and corrosion resistance for industrial applications. This U-connector is essential for joining standard Lay-In Wireway straight sections and fittings, providing a secure mechanical connection. Its key feature is the top that swings aside, preserving the 'lay-in' capability for easy cable insertion and removal, simplifying installation and maintenance. Typically, one U-connector is required at each wireway junction, excluding specialized fittings like telescope fittings, panel adapters, open adapters, closure plates, and reducers. Industries such as manufacturing, data centers, and telecommunications benefit from its reliable cable management. The galvanized mild steel construction offers protection against physical damage and environmental contaminants. This component is a trusted choice for professionals seeking dependable wireway accessories, contributing to reduced labor costs and enhanced operational uptime.
  • Galvanized U-Connectors are used to rigidly join fittings to lay-in wireway straight sections
  • Top swings aside to retain the lay-in feature
  • One U-connector required at each wireway joint except telescope fittings, panel adapters, open adapters, closure plates or reducers
  • Joins wireway sections and fittings for a secure connection
  • Ideal for industrial and commercial cable management
