F8890EOUT

Overview

The Hoffman Enclosures Inc. F8890EOUT is an 8-inch by 8-inch Type 1 indoor lay-in wireway elbow featuring a 90-degree outside opening configuration. Constructed from 16/14 gauge steel, it provides structural support for cable management systems requiring directional changes. The component utilizes ANSI 61 gray polyester powder paint for corrosion resistance and surface durability. It complies with UL 870 and CUL standards, ensuring safety certification for electrical installations in controlled indoor environments.

Feature Summary

• Features removable top, bottom, and outside covers to facilitate easy cable installation and maintenance access.
• Designed as a lay-in style component allowing for straightforward placement of conductors without complex threading.
• Constructed from heavy-gauge steel with a protective powder-coated finish for industrial durability.

Applications

• Continuous cable runs requiring 90-degree directional turns in indoor electrical panels
• NEMA 1 rated wireway systems for general industrial use
• Cable management infrastructure in control enclosures

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific gauge requirement (16/14) matches your system design specifications. Confirm that the UL 870 and CUL listings are accepted by your local jurisdictional authority. Ensure the 8x8 inch dimensions align with the existing wireway run before procurement. Check for any specific environmental conditions that might require additional coating beyond standard ANSI 61 gray.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 90-degree turn with external access is required for an 8x8 inch wireway system. The outside opening design allows cover removal without disturbing adjacent sections. Consider the lay-in feature for faster installation compared to traditional threaded conduit methods. Ensure compatibility with NEMA 1 flat cover wireway components for seamless integration.
