Oiltight—NEMA Type 12 Wireway
Application
Oiltight—NEMA Type 12 Wireway is designed to protect electrical wiring from dust, dirt, oil, and water. All straight 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.
A complete selection of sections and fittings is available in five sizes:
Inches | Millimeters |
---|---|
2.50 x 2.50 | 64 x 64 |
4.00 x 4.00 | 102 x 102 |
6.00 x 6.00 | 152 x 152 |
8.00 x 8.00 | 203 x 203 |
12.00 x 6.00 | 305 x 152 |
Construction
Oiltight—NEMA Type 12 Wireway construction consists of:
-
14 gauge steel covers and bodies
-
10 gauge steel end flanges
-
Seams continuously welded and ground smooth—no holes or knockouts
-
Smooth, rounded edges on all sections and fittings to prevent damage to insulation
-
Heavy butt hinges and strong latches to ensure complete seal between covers and bodies
-
Quick-release cover latches that permit immediate access to wireway interior
-
Oil-resistant gasket and adhesive
-
Solid oil-resistant gasket positioned between flanges when sections and fittings are bolted together
-
Gasketed quick-release connector that provides complete sealing at each joint

Wireway Components
The Oiltight—NEMA Type 12 Wireways Sample Layout illustrates how most of the Oiltight—NEMA Type 12 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.
Junction Box
Length is easily adjustable from 1.00 in. (25 mm) to 7.00 in. (178 mm). No cutting or welding required.
The junction box has a removable panel on which terminal blocks and other components may be mounted. See Junction Box Dimensions for dimensions.
Junction Box Dimensions
Part Number | Dimensions in inches | Dimensions in (mm) |
---|---|---|
F-22LJ | 8.75 x 6.88 | 222 x 175 |
F-44LJ | 10.75 x 8.88 | 273 x 225 |
F-66LJ | 12.75 x 10.88 | 324 x 276 |
F-88LJ | 14.75 x 12.88 | 375 x 327 |
Barrier, Bracket Mounted
Divides wireway into two or three compartments. Spring steel brackets hold barriers in place by friction fit inside wireway. Order barrier and bracket separately. Recommended spacing in increments of 3 ft. (91 cm).

Connector
When joining a lay-in section or fitting to a closure plate, a box connector, a non-lay-in cut-off fitting, or any similar non-lay-in section or fitting, a 90° angle sealing plate is required at each junction. This plate is furnished with fittings as noted in Catalog Numbers—Type LJB Lay-in. Additional 90° angle sealing plates may be required in some cases. Plate includes a flange gasket and flange screws, not shown.
