Considerations When Shopping for Wireways and Electrical
Troughs (Splitters) Wireways and electrical troughs (splitters) are designed to enclose and protect wiring junctions from dirt, dust, oil, and water while not compromising on electrical continuity. When shopping for wireways and electrical troughs (splitters), here are a few points to consider:
● Troughs are also known as “splitters” and “splitter boxes”
● Where will I be using the wireway or trough? Outdoor wireways and troughs are
designed to protect wiring junctions in outdoor environments against rain, sleet,
snow, and other external formations of ice. Consider types, i.e. 3R-12, 4
● Sizing specifications - does the wireway or trough accommodate the sizing needs
of my application? (i.e. size, type, and number of wires and/or cables used)
○ 3-wire/4-wire
○ Amperage (70, 125, 225, 400 + 600)
● Standard Compliance - is the wireway or trough industry certified for my
application (i.e. UL, NEMA, JEC, IEC, CSA, etc.)
● Construction - what construction specifications are needed for your project
application i.e. Consider the material used (i.e. steel), seams, cover, gaskets,
and mounting feet, and hinge covers
● Will I require additional accessories? You may require a box connector, flat
sealing plate, or other accessories if you plan on joining your wireway or trough
to another fitting, enclosure, wireway, etc.
