Installing Resi-Gard Flexible Raceway makes upgrading the home’s
existing cable easy, and increases the home’s value. Future owners
will appreciate the ability to add new cables without ripping up
walls, digging through floors, and poking through ceilings.
INSTALLING FLEXIBLE RACEWAY
We cannot give specific directions on how to route Resi-Gard
through the home because each home is constructed differently.
However, we can give generic installation recommendations.
MAIN CHASE
When you install a Resi-Gard
Flexible Raceway chase, it’s run
from the basement or equipment
closet to the attic through common
interior walls or up through an
exterior wall.
From the First Floor
Run the Resi-Gard from the low voltage outlet location, down
vertically through the sill plate and into the basement.Then in the
basement, run it horizontally to the distribution panel.
From the Second Floor
Install the Resi-Gard from the outlet, through the sill plate and
header and vertically down through the first floor wall cavity.
Then from the first floor run it through the first floor sill plate
and into the basement. Then in the basement, run the Resi-Gard
horizontally to the distribution panel.
Carlon Resi-Gard is approved for General Purpose use
