Overview
The Hoffman 88LSGQR 19390 is a lay-in oil-tight wireway engineered for industrial electrical installations requiring reliable cable management and environmental protection. This steel wireway combines UL 870 listing with an oil-tight design, making it ideal for manufacturing floors, control rooms, and facilities where contamination or moisture protection is critical. The lay-in design allows conductors to be routed directly into the wireway without the need to “pull through,” reducing installation time and labor costs.
Key Features
- Oil-Tight Design — Seals out industrial oils and contaminants for long cable life and reduced maintenance
- Lay-In Configuration — Top-hinged cover design allows cables to be laid in without pulling, speeding installation
- UL 870 Listed — Meets UL 870 and NEMA Type 1 electrical standards for industrial enclosures
- Steel Construction — Durable painted steel with ANSI 61 gray polyester powder finish for corrosion resistance
- Connector System — U-connector joints enable seamless section-to-section connections while retaining lay-in accessibility
- Modular Accessories — Compatible with Hoffman fittings, reducers, barriers, and mounting hardware for custom runs
