Overview

The nVent F88T160GV Straight Section Lay-in Flat Cover Type 1 is a premium galvanized steel wireway component designed for secure and efficient cable management in commercial, industrial, and institutional applications. This 60-inch (5-foot) straight section features an 8x8-inch cross-section with a fully open side, allowing for effortless wire and cable installation without the need for pulling through—eliminating the risk of insulation damage common in traditional pull-through systems. The flat cover design enables flush mounting against walls or ceilings, ensuring a clean, professional appearance while providing easy access for future modifications or inspections via keyhole screw slots. Constructed from high-quality galvanized steel, this wireway section delivers superior corrosion resistance, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor environments where durability and longevity are critical. As part of nVent’s trusted electrical solutions portfolio, the F88T160GV is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern electrical infrastructure, offering reliability and performance in data centers, manufacturing facilities, healthcare campuses, and educational institutions. Wireway systems like the nVent F88T160GV are essential for organizing and protecting electrical wiring in applications where flexibility and accessibility are paramount. Unlike conduit systems that require wires to be pulled through during installation, this lay-in flat cover design allows technicians to simply lay cables into the wireway, reducing labor time and minimizing the potential for insulation damage. The Type 1 designation indicates compliance with industry standards for non-metallic and metallic wireways, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of electrical components and systems. Available in lengths from 12 inches to 120 inches, with or without knockouts, this product line provides versatility to accommodate various project requirements, whether for new construction or retrofitting existing infrastructure.
