Hammond cwst648nk Lay-in Wireway 48in Cw Series

Product Description

The HAMMOND cwst648nk is a Type 1 straight section lay-in wireway designed for organized routing and protection of electrical conductors in indoor industrial and commercial environments. Built from steel with a 14 ga and 16 ga construction, this wireway measures 48 inches in length with a 6 inch width and 6 inch height, providing a generous cross-section for managing multiple cable runs. The hinged cover allows quick access to conductors without removing fasteners, reducing service time during installation and maintenance. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors typically install this wireway in panel rooms, equipment bays, and production facilities where neat, accessible wire management is required.

This lay-in wireway is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical installations where Type 1 enclosures are appropriate. The CW Series configuration supports surface-mounted horizontal or vertical runs along walls and ceilings. The 48 inch section length makes it practical for spanning standard bay widths and reducing the number of splice joints needed in a run. It is commonly installed in machine rooms, motor control centers, and electrical rooms where repeated conductor access is expected.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 376 governing metal wireways. De-energize all circuits in the work area before laying in or rerouting conductors. Secure the wireway to structural surfaces at intervals consistent with applicable code requirements, and verify that conductor fill does not exceed the maximum allowable percentage per NEC guidelines.
