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 and install it with a shoulder bolt, ensuring the gaskets are visible from above. Rotate the cam to lock the position.

  3. Install box entries

    Make a cutout in the control enclosure for the wireway entry. Position the box connector and gasket inside the enclosure, and install a sealing plate as described in the installation details.

  4. Adjust telescope fitting

    Assemble the compression ring, gasket, and retainer on the telescope fitting. Insert the fitting into the straight section and adjust to the desired length, securing it with screws and nuts.

  5. Anchor the telescope fitting

    If the telescope fitting is used vertically, drill .25 inch diameter holes through the fitting and straight section, then install .25−20 screws with cap nuts to secure it.

  6. Calibrate and finalize installation

    Ensure all connections are tight and verify grounding continuity if the wireway is used for grounding. Use touch-up paint to restore any damaged finishes.
