the coupling into the end of the wireway and tighten the fasteners with
a wrench, ensuring they are secure. Slide the end of the next length of
wireway over the other half of the coupling and attach the fasteners.
Repeat until complete. Couplings are best located at 1/4 of the dis-
tance between supports (hangers). End Blank: End blanks provided with necessary hardware. Slide the
end blank into the end of the wireway and tighten the fasteners with a
wrench, ensuring they are secure.
Installation: For “C” Hangers, Trapeze Hangers, threaded rod should be cut to the appropriate length and fastened to a structural
member. The hanger should then be bolted to the threaded rod through the holes provided, ensuring that it is level and in line with the
other hangers. Wall-mounted hangers should be fastened to structural members in the wall in a manner ensuring sufficient support
strength. Once the Wireway is in place, it must be fastened to the hanger by any structurally sound method. Most installations use
1/4" [6.4mm] nuts and bolts, fastened through holes drilled in the Wireway Base. No sharp edges shall be allowed in the Wireway as
a result of fastening. Fastening hardware for hangers is not provided. UL listed Wireway with square cross sections of 2.5, 4, and 6
inches [64, 102 and 152mm] may be supported on maximum spans of 10 feet [3 meters]. All other Wireway shall be supported on
