F33T160GVP

Overview

The Hoffman F33T160GVP is a Type 1 straight section wireway designed for indoor electrical installations. Constructed from 16/14 gauge steel, it features a lay-in flat cover system that allows for easy cable installation without the need for tools to remove sections. The unit measures 3 inches by 3 inches in cross-section and has a length of 60 inches. It is finished with an ANSI 61 gray polyester powder paint for corrosion resistance and aesthetic consistency within industrial environments.

Feature Summary

• Lay-in flat cover design enables rapid cable insertion and removal without disassembling the wireway structure
• Type 1 construction provides protection against falling dirt and limited protection against contact
• Pre-painted gray finish offers consistent appearance and surface durability for indoor use

Applications

• Enclosing wire and cable runs in industrial control panels
• Indoor electrical distribution systems requiring NEMA Type 1 protection
• Cable management in manufacturing facilities and machinery enclosures

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific gauge requirement (16/14) matches your structural load needs. Confirm the 60-inch length fits your layout constraints. Ensure the Type 1 rating is sufficient for the intended indoor environment, as it does not provide environmental sealing against water or dust ingress beyond basic dirt protection.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a rigid, straight run of cable management is required inside controlled indoor spaces. The lay-in feature simplifies maintenance compared to bolted covers. Consider adjacent fittings such as elbows or tees that match the 3x3 inch dimensions and Type 1 specification to maintain system integrity.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman Lay-In Painted Flat-Cover Wireway series. It is part of a modular system allowing for customizable routing of electrical conductors. The product line emphasizes ease of installation and modification, catering to panel builders who require flexible yet robust cable containment solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 3x3x60 inch dimensions, Type 1 rating, and lay-in cover mechanism. Verify material gauge compatibility. Generic wireways may lack the specific lay-in locking mechanism, requiring manual fastening.
