F88WN3

Overview

The F88WN3 is a feed-through nipple manufactured by Hoffman Enclosures, Inc., designed for use in wireway and cable management systems. Constructed from mild steel with a gray powder-coated finish, this component measures 8.00 inches in width, 8.00 inches in depth, and 3.00 inches in height. It is rated for NEMA Type 12 enclosures, providing protection against dust, falling dirt, and dripping non-corrosive liquids. The unit facilitates the connection of adjacent wireway sections or fittings, allowing for precise length adjustments within electrical installations.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from mild steel with a durable gray powder-coated finish
• Designed as a feed-through nipple to connect adjacent wireway sections
• Rated NEMA Type 12 for protection against environmental contaminants

Applications

• Connecting adjacent wireway sections
• Adjusting wireway length in electrical panels
• Linking wireway sections to fittings

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific material composition and coating thickness against official manufacturer documentation before procurement. Confirm that the NEMA 12 rating aligns with the environmental requirements of the installation site. Ensure compatibility with existing wireway dimensions and fitting types. Cross-reference the part number with current nVent Hoffman catalogs to confirm availability and any potential supersessions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a rigid, steel conduit section is required to bridge gaps between wireways. The 8x8 inch square profile suits standard busway or wireway systems of matching dimensions. Consider the powder-coated finish for general industrial environments where moderate corrosion resistance is needed. Verify that the 3-inch height accommodates the necessary cable fill without exceeding fill ratios defined by applicable electrical codes.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman Enclosures product line, now under nVent. It serves as a structural accessory for electrical enclosure assemblies rather than an enclosure itself. These accessories are critical for maintaining continuity and protection ratings in complex wiring layouts. The product supports modular design approaches in industrial control panel manufacturing.
