ALA4800 ALUMINUM RACEWAY
Installation
Instructions
The ALA4800 is a permanent two-channel raceway that is versatile
enough to accomodate power, data or telecommunication wiring.
NOTE: Cross-sectional area of each compartment indicated.
Wiremold Electrical Systems conform with, and should be installed and properly grounded in compliance with requirements of the current
National Electrical Code or codes administered by local authorities. All electrical products may represent a possible shock or fire hazard if improp-
erly installed or used. Wiremold electrical products are UL listed, made for interior use in a dry location and should be installed by qualified elec-
trical people in conformance with current local and/or the National Electrical Code.
At 90° Outside Corner, position ALA4818
External Elbow at end of ALA4800B-10
Base. Slide other base section to other end
of ALA4818. Center couplings on joints
and tighten screws. After wiring system,
snap on ALA4818 mitered covers.
For retaining wires in long raceway
runs, snap-in ALAWC Series Wire Clips
into ALA4800B-10 Base as required.
Snap ALA4806 Cover Clip over
joints in either ALA4800B Base or

*Capacity range is calculated at 20% to 40% of raceway area as stated in a proposed revisions to the Commercial Building Standard for
Telecommunication Pathways & Spaces, EIA/TIA-569. Actual wire fill capacity may vary based on applications, cable types, and number, as well as
type of fittings. (Fittings may cause additional variances to the fill capacity.)
