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: 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 installation details.

  2. Seal the joints

    For joints between lay-in sections, position the LSGQR fitting, leaving out the top flange screw on the hinge side. Install the fitting with a shoulder bolt through the flange and ensure gaskets are visible from above.

  3. Install box entries

    Make a cutout in the control enclosure as specified. Position the box connector and a gasket inside the enclosure, then install another gasket between the wireway section and the enclosure's outer surface.

  4. Adjust telescope fitting

    Assemble the compression ring, gasket, and retainer on the telescope fitting body. Insert the body into the straight section and adjust to the desired length.

  5. Anchor the telescope fitting

    Drill .25 inch diameter holes through the sides and bottom of the straight section and telescope fitting. Install .25−20x.5 screws through the holes from the outside and secure with cap nuts and lockwashers.
