Mounting
The relief slots on either side of the VERSA-DUCT Raceway body are used during the removal of the covers. Insert a flat screw driver into the slot and apply upward pressure. During the lifting action, the body will begin to spread, loosening the cover to allow it to be pulled off.
- Mount VERSA-DUCT to studs, or other structural members using #8 or larger panhead screws. Flat head tapered screws may be substituted provided the holes are countersunk to prevent sharp edges that may damage the internal wiring.
- Mount elbow fittings, if applicable, to the corners first, making certain the proper space and alignment are maintained between the fittings.
- When applicable, loosen and slide couplings inward to allow installation of the VERSA-DUCT main run between any elbows. Slide the couplings across the joints between the main run and fittings and tighten the set screws. Pan head screws on coupling plates must be tightened fully to bring the head of the screw into contact with the surface of the coupling. This will eliminate exposure of the wires to possible sharp edges from the screws.
- Mount the raceway body. Be sure to provide a sufficient number of screws to ensure proper rigidity (standard spacing is generally 16" on center, but may vary). Mounting screws should not be placed within 4" of the end of the raceway to allow clearance for couplings to slide between raceway and fittings.
Conduit Connection
- Conduit connections to the VERSA-DUCT product may be made using any N.E.C., or other applicable approved standard method.
- After connecting the feed conduit to the raceway, check the circuit ground continuity. Should circuit ground continuity not be evident, insert a grounding bushing and secure it to the body of the raceway with a machine or self tapping screw. Recheck for circuit ground continuity.
Note: Compliance in accordance with the National Electrical Code concerning final wiring is the sole responsibility of the installing contractor
