Overview

The nVent F88L120 is a 120-inch (3048 mm) straight section lay-in wireway designed for industrial cable management. This 8.00 x 8.00 inch (203 x 203 mm) steel wireway features a hinged cover with quick-release latches for tool-less access, enabling rapid installation and maintenance. The NEMA Type 12 rating provides protection against dust, dirt, and dripping/light splashing of oil and coolants, making it suitable for manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and heavy-duty environments. The lay-in design eliminates the need for wire pulling, allowing cables to be laid directly into the channel along the entire length. The gasketed construction ensures a tight seal, while the 16-gauge steel body and ANSI 61 gray polyester powder finish provide durability and corrosion resistance. With a flat cover and 9.62-inch (244 mm) flange height, this wireway supports organized cable routing and easy system modifications. Ideal for complex or lengthy cable runs, the F88L120 reduces installation time by up to 50% compared to traditional conduit systems. Its compatibility with nVent’s wireway accessories (tees, elbows, reducers) ensures flexible system design. Manufactured in the US, this wireway meets UL 870 and CSA C22.2 No. 26 standards for reliable performance in industrial applications.
