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.

Oiltight Lay-in—NEMA Type 12 Wireway

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

NOTE: A connector kit is furnished with each length and fitting.

Various Components for Oiltight Type 12 Wireway

Industry Standards

Oiltight—NEMA Type 12 Wireway is in compliance with the following industry standards:

  • UL Listed to File E27524, 870

  • NEMA/EEMAC Type 12

  • JIC standards EGP-1–1967 and EMP-1–1967

  • CSA Listed to File LL42184, Type 12

  • IEC 60529, IP54

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.

Oiltight—NEMA Type 12 Wireways Sample Layout

Straight Section

Available in lengths from 1 ft. (30 cm) to 10 ft. (305 cm).

Lay-In Cut-Off Fitting

For lengths of 9.00 in. (229 mm) to 15.00 in. (381 mm) only. Body comes in two pieces. Shorten body and cover to the desired length and weld together.

Non-Lay-In Cut-Off Fitting

For lengths up to 12.00 in. (305 mm). Shorten body to desired length and weld on flange. This is not a “lay-in” fitting, but is often used when entering an enclosure.

Lay-In Telescope Fitting

Length is easily adjustable from 1.00 in. (25 mm) to 7.00 in. (178 mm). No cutting or welding required.

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

Cross

Used when there are four branches, all open along the same side.

90° Elbow Top Opening

Because sections of lay-in wireway can be mounted with covers oriented in any direction, three different 90° elbows are offered. Proper selection allows the user to maintain the same access and thereby preserve the lay-in feature for right-angle installations.

90° Elbow Inside Opening

Because sections of lay-in wireway can be mounted with covers oriented in any direction, three different 90° elbows are offered. Proper selection allows the user to maintain the same access and thereby preserve the lay-in feature for right-angle installations.

90° Elbow Outside Opening

Because sections of lay-in wireway can be mounted with covers oriented in any direction, three different 90° elbows are offered. Proper selection allows the user to maintain the same access and thereby preserve the lay-in feature for right-angle installations.

90° Elbow Outside Top Opening

This elbow fitting allows a vertical drop to equipment below at a 90° corner while maintaining the top opening lay-in feature.

45° Elbow Top Opening

Similar to the 90° elbows in design and function, but is used where a 45° angle is needed.

45° Elbow Inside Opening

Similar to the 90° elbows in design and function, but is used where a 45° angle is needed.

45° Elbow Outside Opening

Similar to the 90° elbows in design and function, but is used where a 45° angle is needed.

Tee Top Opening

This fitting is used when the covers of all three branches of the wireway run are open along the same side.

Outside Tee Top Opening

This fitting is used when the covers of all three branches of the wireway run are open along the same side.

Nipple

Available in lengths of 1.00 in. (25 mm), 2.00 in. (51 mm), 3.00 in. (76 mm), and 6.00 in. (152 mm).

Drop Hanger

Hangers are used to support a wireway run. The drop hanger is normally attached to an overhead beam or ceiling, while the bracket hanger can be used for wall, floor, or ceiling installations.

Bracket Hanger

Hangers are used to support a wireway run. The drop hanger is normally attached to an overhead beam or ceiling, while the bracket hanger can be used for wall, floor, or ceiling installations.

Box Connector

When wireway enters an enclosure, a box connector should be used on the inside of the enclosure to ensure a tight seal.

Closing Plate

Used to seal the end of a wireway section or run.

Clockwise Transposition Section

This fitting is used when it is necessary to rotate the open side of the wireway run by 90° and still retain the lay-in feature.

Counter-Clockwise Transposition Section

This fitting is used when it is necessary to rotate the open side of the wireway run by 90° and still retain the lay-in feature.

90° Elbow Clockwise Transposition

This fitting is used when it is necessary to rotate the open side of the wireway run by 90° and still retain the lay-in feature.

90° Elbow Counter-Clockwise Transposition

This fitting is used when it is necessary to rotate the open side of the wireway run by 90° and still retain the lay-in feature.

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).

4.50 (114) 6.00 x 6.00 (152 x 152)

Barrier Kit (Bolt-On)

Divides wireway into two or more compartments. Barriers are fastened to wireway sections with screws. Sealing washers are included.

6.00 (152) 8.00 x 8.00 (203 x 203)

Reducer

This fitting permits the lay-in feature to be retained when reducing to a smaller wireway size.

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.

Extra Connector Kit

This hinged sealing plate permits quick and easy access to the wireway interior without using a tool.

NOTE: Dimensions H, J, and K are from intersections of center lines. All dimensions are to outside surfaces. Allow 0.12 in. (3 mm) for flange gasket when two pieces are joined. If, however, one piece is a “Closure Plate,” “Box Connector,” “Cut-off Fitting,” or non-lay-in wireway, allow.25 in. (6 mm) for the thicker gasket which is used.
