F88T118GV

Overview

The Hoffman F88T118GV is a Lay-In Type 1 straight wireway section constructed from 14/16 gauge galvanized steel. It features an open-side design for simplified cable installation and includes a flat cover. The unit measures 8 inches in width, 8 inches in height, and 18 inches in length. It holds UL 870, CUL, and CSA C22.2 approvals for indoor use.

Feature Summary

• Open-side lay-in construction facilitates direct wire insertion without threading
• Galvanized steel material provides corrosion resistance for indoor environments
• Flat cover design ensures secure enclosure of cable runs

Applications

• Indoor electrical panel wiring management
• Enclosing power and control cables in industrial settings
• Straight section runs within NEMA Type 1 compliant systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific gauge requirement (14 or 16) against project specifications, as sources indicate both. Confirm that the 18-inch length matches the required run distance. Ensure the application environment is strictly indoor to comply with NEMA Type 1 ratings. Check for UL 870 listing requirements in your jurisdiction before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when open-side access is preferred for rapid cable placement. The 8x8 inch cross-section accommodates moderate cable volumes. The galvanized finish is suitable for standard indoor conditions but not for corrosive outdoor exposure. Consider compatible straight sections and covers for continuous runs.

Part Context

This component belongs to the nVent Hoffman Lay-In Wireway series, designed for efficient cable management in electrical enclosures. The Type 1 rating indicates protection against falling dirt and limited ingress of solid objects, making it appropriate for general indoor industrial applications where environmental sealing is not critical.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Hoffman F88T series straight sections with identical 8x8 dimensions and 18-inch length. Verify that any replacement maintains the same Type 1 rating and UL 870 certification. Ensure the substitute also features the open-side lay-in design for compatibility with existing installation methods.
