F88T1120GV

Overview

The Hoffman Enclosures F88T1120GV is a Lay-In NEMA Type 1 galvanized wireway straight section designed for enclosing wire and cable in wireway runs. Constructed from 14/16 gauge steel with a galvanized finish, this unpainted component measures 8 inches by 8 inches in cross-section and 120 inches in length. It features a completely open side to facilitate easy wire insertion. The unit holds UL 870, CUL, and CSA C22.2 approvals and does not include knockouts.

Feature Summary

• Lay-in flat-cover design allows wires and cables to be placed directly into the enclosure without threading through tight bends.
• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for indoor environments.
• Open-side configuration simplifies installation and maintenance of electrical wiring systems.

Applications

• Enclosing wire and cable in industrial wireway runs
• Indoor electrical distribution systems requiring NEMA Type 1 protection
• Panel and enclosure preparation where pre-drilled access is preferred

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required length matches the 120-inch specification exactly, as shorter or longer sections are distinct part numbers. Confirm that the 8x8 inch cross-section aligns with the existing wireway system dimensions. Ensure the application environment is indoors, as NEMA Type 1 offers limited environmental protection against falling dirt and dripping non-corrosive liquids. Check if knockout requirements exist, as this specific model lacks them.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a long, continuous run of enclosed wiring is needed without the labor-intensive process of pulling wires through closed conduits. The galvanized finish is appropriate for standard indoor industrial settings but may require additional coating in highly corrosive areas. Consider the weight and handling requirements for a 10-foot steel section during installation planning.

Part Context

This component belongs to the nVent Hoffman Lay-In Wireway series, which focuses on efficient cable management solutions. The F88T prefix typically denotes straight sections within this product line. These wireways are engineered to complement Hoffman enclosures, providing a standardized method for routing power and control circuits in electrical panels and switchgear assemblies.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 8x8x120 inch dimensions, NEMA Type 1 rating, and galvanized material. Verify compatibility with adjacent wireway fittings and covers. Generic steel wireways may lack the specific UL 870 listing required for code compliance in many jurisdictions.
