F1010G36

Overview

The Hoffman F1010G36 is a Lay-In NEMA Type 1 hinged cover wireway straight section designed for enclosing wire and cable in raceway runs. It features a 10-inch by 10-inch cross-section and a length of 36 inches. Constructed from 14-gauge steel, the unit includes a hinged cover that remains completely open on one side to facilitate easy wire insertion and maintenance. The enclosure is finished with an ANSI 61 gray polyester powder paint. It complies with UL 870 standards and is intended for power distribution applications.

Feature Summary

• Lay-in design allows wires to be inserted directly into the channel without threading through pre-existing openings
• Hinged cover provides continuous access to the interior for installation and servicing
• Type 1 construction offers protection against falling dirt and limited splash water exposure
• ANSI 61 gray finish ensures visual consistency with standard industrial electrical equipment

Applications

• Power distribution systems requiring organized cable management
• Enclosing wire and cable in industrial wireway runs
• Facilitating easy access for future circuit additions or modifications

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required application environment aligns with NEMA Type 1 specifications, as this unit does not provide environmental sealing against moisture or dust ingress beyond basic dirt protection. Confirm that the 14-gauge steel thickness meets structural load requirements for the specific mounting configuration. Ensure compatibility with existing conduit entries and cable types before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high-capacity cable routing is needed with frequent access requirements. The 10x10 inch dimensions support larger cable bundles compared to smaller ducts. Consider the hinged cover mechanism for ease of maintenance versus removable covers. Verify that the 36-inch length fits the planned run geometry without excessive splicing.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman Lay-In Wireway family, which specializes in accessible cable management solutions. Unlike traditional knock-out wireways, this series prioritizes rapid installation and modification capabilities. The F1010G36 represents a standard straight section variant within this lineup, providing linear routing segments for complex electrical layouts.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Hoffman F-series straight sections with identical 10x10x36 dimensions and hinged cover configurations. Ensure replacement units maintain the same 14-gauge steel gauge and UL 870 listing for code compliance. Cross-brand replacements must match the internal volume and cover hinge mechanics to ensure seamless integration.
