    Assemble the telescope fitting parts in the correct order, insert it into the straight section, and adjust to the desired length. Ensure the gasket is properly positioned against the flange.

  3. Anchor the telescope fitting

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

  4. Cut the wireway to length

    Cut the wireway to the desired length, ensuring a square cut. Weld an extra flange to the body and grind off any burrs or sharp edges.

  5. Install swivel nipples

    Position the wireway section, flange gasket, swivel ring, and swivel nipple in order. Secure with screws and nuts, ensuring all components are tightly fastened.

  6. Make box entries

    Cut out the necessary openings in the enclosure for box entries. Position the box connector and gasket inside the enclosure, and ensure proper alignment with the wireway section.
