General Purpose—NEMA Type 1 Painted Wireways
Application
General Purpose—NEMA Type 1 Painted Wireway is designed to protect electrical wiring from dust, dirt, oil, and water. All sections and fittings are completely open on one side so wires and cables can be laid in along an entire wireway run. No pulling through of wires or cables is required with this design.

Wireway Components
The Wireway Sections and Fittings Sample Layout illustrates how most of the General Purpose—NEMA Type 1 Painted Wireway sections and fittings could be used in an actual wireway run. The covers have been omitted to present the lay-in feature more clearly. Many different sections and fittings can be combined in any configuration desired.
Wireway Sections and Fittings Sample Layout
Wireway Straight Section
Available in lengths from 1 ft. (30 cm) to 10 ft. (305 cm).
Wireway 90° Flush Tee
Use wherever flush mounting against a vertical or horizontal surface is required.
Wireway 90° Sweep Elbow
When a large radius is needed, use this sweep elbow.
Wireway 90° Cross-Junction
This unique fitting forms left or right 90° turns. It can also be used as a tee or cross. When fitted with an open adapter, entrances can be made in the top and bottom. Each unit includes two closure plates.
Wireway 90° Elbow
Any side can be removed, so lay-in feature is retained regardless of how the elbow is oriented. Sides are held together with screws.
Wireway 45° Elbow
Similar to the 90° elbow in design and function.
Telescope Fitting
Open Adapter
Panel Adapter
Wireway sections and fittings are rigidly joined together with connectors. The top member swings aside to retain the lay-in feature. A connector is required at each wireway joint except at telescope fittings, panel adapters, open adapters, closing plates or reducers. Connectors must be ordered separately.
Connector

| 2.00 x 200 in. (51 x 51 mm) | 8.00 x 8.99 in. (203 x 203 mm) |
| 4.00 x 4.00 in. (102 x 102 mm) | 10.00 x 10.00 in. (254 x 254 mm) |
| 6.00 x 6.00 in. (152 x 152 mm) | 12.00 x 12 in. (305 x 305 mm) |
Closing Plate
Closes the end of a wireway section or run.
Reducer
Used to reduce to a smaller wireway size.
Drop Hanger
Used to support a wireway run.
Bracket Hanger
Used to support a wireway run.
Support Hanger
Support hangers can be used for floor or wall installations.
