F88G18

Overview

The Hoffman Enclosures Inc. F88G18 is a Type 1 lay-in straight section wireway constructed from 14/16 gauge steel with an ANSI 61 gray polyester powder painted finish. It features a hinged cover and measures 8.000 inches in length, 8.000 inches in width, and 18.000 inches in height (203.20mm x 203.20mm x 457.20mm). The unit is UL 870 listed and designed for enclosing wire and cable runs.

Feature Summary

• Hinged cover design allows for easy access to internal wiring without complete disassembly
• Completely open side facilitates straightforward insertion of wires and cables during installation
• Durable steel construction provides structural integrity for industrial environments

Applications

• Enclosing wire and cable in standard wireway runs
• Industrial electrical distribution systems requiring Type 1 protection
• Straight section routing within larger wireway assemblies

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires a Type 1 enclosure suitable for indoor use only. Confirm that the 8x8x18 inch dimensions align with the planned wireway layout. Ensure compatibility with adjacent Hoffman wireway sections regarding hinge mechanisms and lay-in design specifications before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a straight section with a hinged cover is required for 8x8 inch wireway systems. The 18-inch length offers modular flexibility for various run lengths. Consider the 14/16 gauge steel thickness for appropriate mechanical strength relative to the expected load and environmental conditions of the installation site.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman F88 series of lay-in wireways, which are standardized for industrial electrical infrastructure. It complements other straight sections and fittings within the same dimensional family, allowing for consistent assembly and maintenance procedures across complex wiring networks.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other manufacturers' Type 1 hinged-cover wireways with identical 8x8x18 inch external dimensions and lay-in functionality. Verify mounting hole patterns and hinge styles to ensure seamless integration with existing hardware.
