F88G120

Overview

The Hoffman Enclosures F88G120 is a straight section wireway designed for enclosing wire and cable runs. It features an open top assembly with a removable hinged cover secured by captive screws. Constructed from 14-gauge steel, the unit measures 120 inches in length, with a cross-section of 8 inches in width and 8 inches in height. The exterior finish is ANSI 61 gray polyester powder paint. This component meets NEMA Type 1 and UL 870 standards, providing protection for internal wiring while allowing for easy access during installation and maintenance.

Feature Summary

• Open top assembly design facilitates direct placement of wires and cables without pulling through
• Removable hinged cover allows for secure enclosure while enabling easy access for maintenance
• Constructed from durable 14-gauge steel with a protective gray polyester powder coat finish

Applications

• Enclosing wire and cable in industrial wireway runs
• Straight section routing in electrical distribution systems
• Protecting cabling in environments requiring NEMA Type 1 compliance

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required length matches the standard 120-inch specification, as custom lengths may not be available. Confirm that the 8x8 inch cross-section aligns with the planned cable fill requirements. Ensure compatibility with existing F40 series fittings and accessories. Check for any specific regional certifications or UL listing requirements relevant to the installation site before finalizing the order.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a straight run of enclosed wiring is needed with frequent access capabilities. The 14-gauge steel construction offers robust physical protection compared to lighter gauges. The hinged cover design is preferable over solid covers if regular inspection or modification of the cable bundle is anticipated. Ensure the installation environment does not exceed the thermal ratings associated with fully loaded steel enclosures.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hoffman F40 series of lay-in wireways, which are widely used in commercial and industrial electrical infrastructure. The series provides modular solutions for organizing power and control wiring. The F88G120 specifically serves as a linear segment within larger wireway networks, connecting with elbows, tees, and reducers to route cables around obstacles or between distribution points.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 120-inch long, 8x8 inch NEMA Type 1 steel wireways with hinged covers. Verify that alternative brands maintain the same 14-gauge thickness and compatible mounting hole patterns. Ensure replacement units also carry UL 870 certification for equivalent safety compliance.
