Overview

The nVent F88T172GVWK is an 8x8x72 inch galvanized steel straight section lay-in wireway, designed for NEMA Type 1 applications. This robust wireway provides a secure enclosure for electrical wiring and data cables, protecting them from dust, dirt, oil, and water. Its lay-in design simplifies cable installation by allowing wires to be laid directly into the channel, preventing insulation damage that can occur with pull-through methods. The flat cover offers a clean, flush mounting option for a professional appearance. Constructed from galvanized steel, it ensures excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for various industrial and commercial environments. This straight section features Type 1 knockouts (KOs) for flexible conduit or cable entry and exit, and keyhole screw slots on the flat covers for easy access during maintenance. Its substantial 72-inch length is ideal for longer cable runs, minimizing connections and maintaining a continuous, protected pathway. nVent is a trusted manufacturer known for high-quality electrical enclosure and wire management products.
