Wireways

Wireways are used to route wires and cables in environments where contaminants such as dirt, dust, oil and moisture may be present. Wireways are designed as a trough with hinged or removable covers to protect the cables, while still allowing them to be accessible. Two common styles of wireways are lay-in and pull-through.

Lay-in wireways feature a hinged top for easy access and an opening on one side so that wires and cables can be laid in along the entire run without pulling. Lay-in wireways simplify installations of large cables and multiple wires and cables. They are also useful when installations may require future wiring changes. Lay-in wireways can connect multiple sections together for long, simple runs or different fittings can be attached for modifications.

Pull-through wireways are better for simple installations with smaller cables or fewer wires and cables, than lay-in wireways. They have a pull-through design where wire and cable is inserted in one end of the wireway and pulled through to the other end. Pull-through sections provide a smooth interior surface to prevent wire damage during installation. They can be connected for long, simple runs or different fittings can be attached for modifications.
