F33GUC

Overview

The Hoffman F33GUC is a Universal U-Connector designed for use with Lay-In Wireway systems. It fits 3-inch by 3-inch trunking sections and is constructed from mild steel with an ANSI 61 Gray polyester powder paint finish. The component features a gauge specification of 16/14 and is intended to rigidly join fittings to straight wireway sections while maintaining the lay-in capability through a top that swings aside.

Feature Summary

• Rigidly joins fittings to lay-in wireway straight sections
• Top swings aside to retain lay-in feature
• Constructed from mild steel with gray polyester powder paint

Applications

• Joining fittings to 3x3 inch lay-in wireway straight sections
• Indoor Type 1 enclosure cable management
• Panel assembly trunking connections

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific dimensional requirement of 3 inches by 3 inches before procurement, as this connector is size-specific within the Lay-In series. Confirm the material composition is mild steel with the specified gray finish if environmental conditions require particular corrosion resistance or aesthetic matching. Ensure compatibility with the specific nVent Hoffman Lay-In wireway product line rather than generic wireways.

Selection Notes

Select the F33GUC only when working with 3-inch by 3-inch cross-sections of Lay-In wireway. For other sizes, alternative part numbers such as F22GUC for 2.50x2.50 or F44GUC for larger dimensions must be used. This component is suitable for indoor Type 1 applications where standard protection levels are sufficient.

Part Context

This component belongs to the nVent Hoffman Lay-In Wireway series, which provides cable management solutions for electrical enclosures. The Universal U-Connectors in this series allow for flexible assembly configurations while maintaining structural integrity. The brand has transitioned under nVent, but the product designation remains consistent with the Hoffman legacy.

Replacement Considerations

No direct substitute part numbers are publicly confirmed for this specific model. Users requiring different dimensions should refer to the corresponding Universal U-Connectors in the same series, such as F22GUC or F44GUC.
