• Open top assembly facilitates direct laying of wires and cables
• Keyhole screw slots on flat covers ensure secure attachment
• Knockouts provided on wireway sides for additional entry points

Applications

• Enclosing wires and cables in industrial wireway runs

• Cable management in commercial electrical installations

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the 72-inch length requirement, as this model is part of a series available in various lengths. Confirm the 8x8 inch cross-section dimensions align with your system design. Ensure the galvanized steel material specification meets environmental corrosion resistance needs. Check for required accessories such as fittings or end caps not included in the straight section package.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a rigid, non-vented straight path is required for cable routing. The NEMA Type 1 rating suits indoor environments protected from falling debris and limited liquid exposure. Consider the Lay-In design for easier maintenance and future cable additions compared to closed conduit systems. Verify compatibility with adjacent Hoffman wireway components for seamless assembly.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman Lay-In Wireway family, designed for flexible and accessible cable management. The F88T172GV specifically denotes the 8x8 inch size and 72-inch length variant. It complements other fittings like elbows and tees to create complex routing paths while maintaining structural integrity and safety standards for electrical installations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 8x8 inch cross-section and 72-inch length. Ensure replacement units maintain NEMA Type 1 ratings and galvanized steel construction. Verify that keyhole slot patterns are compatible with existing mounting hardware. Cross-reference with nVent Hoffman catalogs for equivalent straight sections if original stock is unavailable.
