PANDUIT innovative dual-sided hinged wiring duct
delivers improved wire management and aesthetics
for electrical control panel and communication
applications. The unique push-on hinged cover is
easier to install and remove than traditional wiring
duct covers and once installed can be opened from
either side of the duct. Hinged cover wiring duct
provides faster access to wiring, prevents cover
loss, reduces maintenance costs and
promotes safety.
Type HN hinged cover wiring duct features a
narrow slot design for high-density applications.
Type H hinged cover wiring duct features a wide
slot design for general purpose use.
Type HS solid wall raceway contains cables and
cord sets for surface mount routing applications.

Key Features Benefits
Retains cover during maintenance for up to 20% faster wiring changes and reduced labor
costs; prevents lost covers for a neater panel appearance
Dual-sided hinge
Cover hinges open up to 100° from either sidewall of duct for easier wire access during
maintenance, to reduce labor costs
Cover retention flange
Saves time with simple push-on cover installation; full engagement between cover and
base results in cover retention up to 2 times greater than conventional wiring ducts;
prevents cover slip when exposed to vibration
Cover removal tab
Provides gripping surface to ease cover opening or removal to reduce labor costs during wire
installation or maintenance
Type HN narrow slots and fingers
Delivers optimal alignment between slots and termination points in high density electrical
applications; multiple slot restrictors hold wiring at the device termination point to reduce
installation time and improve wire label identification
Type H wide slots and fingers
Provides flexibility by allowing use with a variety of wire sizes in electrical and
communication applications
Type HS solid wall raceway
Fully encloses cables and cord sets for maximum protection in on-machine applications that
do not require frequent breakouts
