Overview

The Hoffman F88T118GVP is a Type 1 straight section wireway designed for indoor cable management. Constructed from 14/16 gauge steel, it features an 8-inch by 8-inch cross-section and an 18-inch length. The unit utilizes a lay-in flat-cover design with keyhole screw slots for flush mounting. It is finished in ANSI 61 gray polyester powder paint and complies with UL 870 standards. This open-top assembly allows for direct wire insertion without complex installation procedures.

Feature Summary

• Lay-in flat-cover design enables rapid cable installation and removal
• Keyhole screw slots facilitate secure and flush mounting to surfaces
• Open top assembly structure supports efficient wire routing
• Steel construction provides durable enclosure for indoor environments

Applications

• Enclosing wire and cable in indoor wireway runs
• Cable management within electrical panels and enclosures
• Straight section routing for organized power distribution systems

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required NEMA Type 1 rating meets environmental protection needs for the intended indoor location. Confirm that the 8x8 inch dimensions align with existing conduit and cable bundle sizes. Ensure compatibility with standard Hoffman accessories for covers and fittings. Check local electrical codes regarding wireway fill ratios and support spacing requirements before finalizing the order.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a straight run of enclosed wiring is required in dry, indoor locations. The Type 1 rating offers basic protection against falling objects and limited ingress of water. Consider the 14-gauge steel thickness for structural rigidity. Verify that the 18-inch length suits the specific layout constraints and that the gray finish matches other enclosure components.
