Overview

The nVent F88WSA Swivel Nipple Feed-Through Box Entry (SKU: F88WSA) is a 8.00x8.00 inch gray steel component designed for secure wire and cable entry into electrical enclosures, control panels, and junction boxes. This box entry type is specifically engineered for the interface between wireway runs and enclosures, unlike regular swivel nipples used between adjacent wireway sections. The swivel nipple allows for variable angle connections, enabling precise wireway alignment even in complex installations where obstacles or structural constraints require non-linear routing. Key specifications include 8.00x8.00 inch (203x203 mm) dimensions, gray steel construction for durability, and compliance with NEMA Type 12 standards for dust-tight protection. The feed-through design ensures uninterrupted cable routing while maintaining signal integrity and preventing physical damage to conductors. Certified by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), the F88WSA is ideal for harsh industrial environments including manufacturing, automation, chemical processing, and food and beverage sectors. This component is part of nVent's wireway management system, providing a reliable solution for organizing and protecting electrical infrastructure in critical applications. The 8x8 inch size accommodates a substantial number of conductors, making it suitable for high-density installations.
  • Feed-Through Swivel Nipples are used for adjusting wireway to different angles
  • Regular type is used between adjacent wireway sections or fittings while the box entry type is used when entering an enclosure
  • Protects wires and cables against dust in a broad range of industrial applications
  • NEMA Type 12 compliant for dust-tight protection in industrial environments
  • CSA certified for safety and reliability in harsh conditions

How to Install the Feed-Through Wireway

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring the Feed-Through Wireway, including mounting, wiring, and ensuring proper connections.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Drill, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Gaskets, Terminal connectors, .25−20 screws, Cap nuts, Lockwashers

  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 assembly details.

  2. Install the telescope fitting

    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 and secured.

  3. Anchor the telescope fitting

    Drill .25 inch diameter holes through the sides of the straight section and telescope fitting. Install .25−20x.5 screws through the holes 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 cut end and grind off any burrs or sharp edges.

  5. Install the swivel nipple

    Position the wireway section, flange gasket, swivel ring, and swivel nipple in order. Secure the assembly with screws and nuts.

  6. Make box entries

    Cut out the necessary openings in the enclosure for box entries. Install the box connector and gaskets as specified, ensuring a proper seal.
