F1212116RTGV

Overview

The Hoffman F1212116RTGV is an EconoTrough wiring trough constructed from galvanized steel, designed for both indoor and outdoor environments. It meets NEMA Type 3R standards to provide weather resistance against rain and sleet, though it is not dust-tight. The unit features a rectangular profile with dimensions of 12 inches in width, 12 inches in depth, and 116 inches in length. The material thickness is specified as 1.9 mm. This component serves as a protective channel for wire and cable distribution, junctions, and terminations.

Feature Summary

• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for durable installation.
• NEMA Type 3R rating ensures protection against falling rain and sleet in outdoor settings.
• Open design facilitates accessible wire management and cable routing.

Applications

• Outdoor wire and cable distribution channels
• Protection of electrical junctions and terminations
• Indoor industrial wiring management

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific NEMA Type 3R rating aligns with environmental exposure requirements, noting that this model does not offer dust-tight sealing. Confirm that the galvanized finish is suitable for the intended chemical or atmospheric conditions. Ensure mounting hardware is compatible with the trough's structural design. Check local codes regarding outdoor electrical enclosure usage.

Selection Notes

Select this model when long linear cable runs require protected routing in wet environments. The 12x12 inch cross-section accommodates substantial cable bundles. Consider the 116-inch length to minimize splicing or joining multiple trough sections. Verify that the open-top design meets safety and ingress protection needs for the specific installation site.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hoffman EconoTrough series, which offers cost-effective solutions for basic wire management. Unlike fully enclosed cabinets, these troughs provide open access for easy maintenance and cable addition. The galvanized steel variant is standard for general-purpose outdoor durability.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Hoffman EconoTrough models with identical 12x12 inch cross-sections but different lengths. Ensure any replacement maintains the NEMA Type 3R rating if outdoor exposure is a factor. Verify that the material gauge and galvanization process match the original specifications for equivalent lifespan.
