F88G36

Overview

The Hoffman F88G36 is a straight section wireway designed for electrical cable management. It features an 8-inch by 8-inch cross-section and a 36-inch length. Constructed from 14-gauge steel, the unit includes a hinged cover with captivated screw fasteners. The finish is ANSI 61 gray polyester powder paint applied over phosphatized material. This component is rated NEMA Type 1 and UL 870 listed. It contains no knockouts and weighs approximately 27 pounds.

Feature Summary

• Lay-in design allows for easy installation of wires and cables without removing the cover
• Hinged cover remains attached to the body via captivated plated screw fasteners
• Constructed from 14-gauge steel with a durable gray polyester powder painted finish

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required configuration matches the specific model F88G36, which denotes an 8x8x36 inch straight section with a hinged cover and no knockouts. Ensure compatibility with existing Hoffman F40 series components if integrating into a larger system. Confirm that the NEMA Type 1 rating meets the environmental protection requirements of the installation site.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a straight wireway segment with a hinged cover is required for 8x8 inch cable capacity. The lay-in feature facilitates maintenance and wiring adjustments without full disassembly. The 14-gauge steel construction provides structural integrity for standard industrial environments. Verify that the absence of knockouts aligns with the specific conduit entry needs of the project.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman F40 series of wireways and troughs. The series offers various configurations including straight sections, elbows, and tees. The F88G36 specifically addresses the need for accessible cable routing in standard indoor industrial settings where basic dust and falling object protection is sufficient.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 8x8x36 dimensions and hinged cover style. Verify that substitute parts maintain the 14-gauge steel thickness and UL 870 listing. Cross-model compatibility should be confirmed based on the mounting rail or support system used in the existing infrastructure.
