F88T136GV

Overview

The Hoffman Enclosures F88T136GV is a straight section wireway designed for indoor and outdoor cable management. It features an open-top lay-in design with a flat cover, allowing wires to be installed safely from the side. Constructed from galvanized steel, it provides protection against corrosive or dirty environments. The unit measures 36 inches in length, with a cross-section of 8 inches by 8 inches. It carries UL 870, CUL, and CSA C22.2 approvals and meets NEMA Type 1 standards.

Feature Summary

• Open top assembly allows for safe laying-in of wires and cables
• Galvanized steel construction protects against corrosion and dirt
• Flat covers include keyhole screw slots for secure attachment
• Side knockouts facilitate flexible conduit and cable routing

Applications

• Enclosing wire and cable in industrial wireway runs
• Indoor cable management in corrosive environments
• Outdoor cable protection in dirty conditions
• Straight section runs in electrical distribution systems

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific project requirements align with NEMA Type 1 ratings, as this enclosure does not offer higher environmental sealing. Confirm that the 8x8 inch cross-section accommodates the total cable fill capacity needed for the installation. Ensure compatibility with other Hoffman F40G series components for consistent system integration. Check local electrical codes regarding grounding and support spacing for long straight runs.

Selection Notes

Select this model when an open-access wireway is required for easier cable maintenance and installation. The galvanized finish is suitable for general industrial environments but may require additional coating in highly aggressive chemical settings. Consider the 36-inch length for standard modular planning. Verify that the load-bearing capacity of supports matches the weight of the filled wireway.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hoffman F40G Lay-In Wireway series, which is designed for straightforward cable containment. It complements other fittings such as elbows, tees, and reducers within the same product line. The galvanized steel material offers a balance of durability and cost-effectiveness for standard electrical infrastructure projects requiring NEMA Type 1 protection.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 8x8x36 inch dimensions and galvanized steel material. Alternative models from the same manufacturer with different finishes, such as stainless steel or aluminum, may be used if corrosion resistance requirements are higher. Ensure any replacement maintains UL 870 and CUL listings for compliance.
