F1212G36H

Overview

The Hoffman F1212G36H is a Lay-In straight section wireway with NEMA Type 1 rating. It measures 12 inches in width, 12 inches in height, and 36 inches in length. Constructed from steel, the unit features a gray finish (ANSI 61 color code). The design includes an open top assembly for easy cable installation and a removable hinged cover secured by captive screws. This model does not include pre-punched knockouts.

Feature Summary

• Lay-in design allows for rapid wire and cable insertion without threading through tight bends
• Hinged cover provides secure enclosure access while maintaining structural integrity
• NEMA Type 1 rating offers protection against falling dirt and limited ingress of water

Applications

• Enclosing wire and cable in industrial wireway runs
• Protecting electrical conductors in indoor environments
• Facilitating organized cable management in control panels or machinery

Procurement Notes

Verify that the application environment meets NEMA Type 1 requirements, as this unit lacks environmental sealing beyond basic dirt and water drip protection. Confirm that the 12x12 inch cross-section accommodates the total cable fill volume. Ensure compatibility with adjacent Hoffman wireway sections for continuous runs. Check local electrical codes for grounding and support spacing mandates specific to steel wireways.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a hinged cover is preferred for maintenance access over non-hinged styles. The absence of knockouts requires field drilling if conduit entries are needed at specific points. Compare dimensions against available space constraints. Consider the steel construction for durability in industrial settings where impact resistance is necessary. Verify that the gray finish aligns with facility aesthetic standards.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman F40 Lay-In Wireway series, designed for straightforward cable routing. It complements other straight sections, elbows, and tees within the same dimensional family. The hinged cover variant simplifies future modifications compared to bolted covers. It is part of a standardized system allowing mixed configurations for complex routing needs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other manufacturers' NEMA Type 1 steel wireways with identical 12x12x36 inch dimensions and hinged covers. Ensure replacement units maintain the same material thickness and latch mechanism type for consistent mounting hardware compatibility.
