F8890EGV

Overview

The F8890EGV is a galvanized steel wireway elbow manufactured by Hoffman Enclosures, Inc. It features a 90-degree design with dimensions of 8.00 inches by 8.00 inches. The component utilizes a lay-in construction where any side can be removed regardless of orientation, secured by screws. It carries UL 870 and CUL certifications for Type 1 applications.

Feature Summary

• Lay-in construction allows removal of any side while maintaining the feature regardless of orientation
• Galvanized steel finish provides corrosion resistance
• Screw-secured sides ensure structural integrity during installation

Applications

• Right-angle wireway installations
• Type 1 indoor electrical conduit routing
• Cable management systems requiring directional changes

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required certification marks (UL 870, CUL) match local regulatory requirements. Confirm the 8x8 inch internal dimensions align with cable fill calculations. Ensure the galvanized finish is suitable for the specific environmental conditions of the installation site to prevent premature degradation.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 90-degree transition is required in a Type 1 environment. The 8x8 inch size accommodates specific cable bundle diameters. The galvanized steel material offers standard protection against mild industrial atmospheres compared to stainless or aluminum alternatives.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman wireway accessories family, designed to complement straight wireway sections. It enables complex routing paths in electrical distribution networks without requiring field bending of the metal conduit, ensuring consistent internal surface quality for cable protection.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must maintain identical 8x8 inch dimensions and 90-degree geometry. Verify that alternative manufacturers offer equivalent UL 870 listing and Type 1 rating. Ensure the replacement also supports the lay-in side removal mechanism for compatibility with existing installation practices.
