F44T118GV

Overview

The Hoffman Enclosures F44T118GV is a straight section of NEMA Type 1 lay-in wireway designed for indoor and outdoor cable management. Constructed from 16/14 gauge steel with an unpainted galvanized finish, it measures 18 inches in length with a 4-inch by 4-inch cross-section. The unit features an open top design to facilitate the safe laying of wires and cables. It is rated under UL 870 and CUL standards, providing protection against corrosive or dirty environments while maintaining structural integrity for electrical installations.

Feature Summary

• Open top assembly allows for easy installation and maintenance of wires and cables without removing covers.
• Galvanized steel construction provides resistance to corrosion and durability in harsh indoor or outdoor conditions.
• Lay-in flat cover design ensures secure containment while allowing flexible routing of multiple conductors.

Applications

• Enclosing and protecting electrical wires and cables in industrial wireway runs
• Cable management in corrosive or dirty indoor environments
• Outdoor electrical infrastructure requiring NEMA Type 1 protection

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required length and cross-sectional dimensions match the project specifications exactly. Confirm that the galvanized finish meets environmental exposure requirements. Ensure compatibility with existing Hoffman lay-in fittings and accessories. Check local code compliance for UL 870 and CUL ratings before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when an open-top wireway solution is needed for straightforward cable laying. Consider the 4x4 inch capacity for moderate conductor counts. Evaluate the galvanized finish suitability against specific chemical or moisture exposures. Compare with painted alternatives if aesthetic uniformity with other enclosures is required.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman F40G Lay-In Wireway series, which offers modular solutions for electrical raceways. The F44T118GV specifically serves as a straight section, complementing elbows, tees, and reducers within the same system. It is part of nVent Hoffman's broader portfolio of cable management products designed for industrial reliability.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 4x4x18 inch NEMA Type 1 galvanized wireway sections from Hoffman. Verify that any replacement maintains the same gauge thickness and UL 870 listing. Cross-compatibility with existing lay-in hardware must be confirmed before substitution.
