PAINTING The Raceway Sections and Connectors are Paintable. It is recommended that you paint AFTER installation, otherwise paint can get in the cover seams and Connector interface surfaces causing seams to stick and difficulty snapping together Raceways to Connectors.
ESTIMATING RACEWAY CAPACITY The cross sectional size of the the cable channel is 1.1" (28mm) Wide x 0.5" (13mm) Deep. The channels on the Connectors (Elbows and Tees) are slightly larger. As a test, wrap the bundle of cables (that you plan to cover) in one hand and look at (imagine) the cross sectional diameter of the bundle. As long as it is about the diameter of a Penny Coin (0.75") or less, your cable bundle will fit in the raceway.` Raceway “C” Channel Raceway Cover This side attaches to This snaps on after you’ve placed the wall, desk, etc the cables into the “C” Channel...
LAYOUT PREPARATION It is recommended that you generate a simple sketch of your layout before you begin installing, see example on the next page. Here are some things you’ll want to include in your layout sketch. • Raceway Entry/Exit Points • List of Cables/Cords at each of the Entry/Exit Points • Specify where those Cables/Cords are going from the Entry/Exit Points • Basic drawing of the Raceway Sections and Connectors required...
CONNECTOR SPACING AND INTERFACE DIMENSIONS The Connectors fit over the Raceway Sections with an overlap of 0.25” (6mm) at each interface. The Cover of the Raceway Section slips into a slot in the Connector, holding the Connector in place. Raceway Sections that join with a Connector, should be installed with the following spacing. 0.25” 0.25” (6mm) (6mm) RACEWAY RACEWAY STRAIGHT SECTION CONNECTOR SECTION 1.125” (29mm) 0.6875” 0.6875” 0.6875” (17mm) (17mm) (17mm) 0.6875” 0.6875” 0.6875” (17mm) (17mm) (17mm) RACEWAY RACEWAY RACEWAY FLAT ELBOW CONNECTOR SECTION SECTION CONNECTOR SECTION 2.5” (64mm)

MEASURE, CUT AND FASTEN RACEWAY “C” CHANNEL Measure, mark and cut the Raceway Channel section. You can cut with a Fine Tooth Hacksaw or PVC/ABS Pipe Saw. Deburr sharp edges with a File or Razor Knife.

MEASURE, CUT AND FASTEN RACEWAY “C” CHANNEL To fasten with Double-Sided Tape: Adhering surface (wall, desk, etc) must be clean and dry. Measure, mark and cut the Tape with Scissors. Apply the Tape to the back side of the ”C” Channel. Press the ”C” Channel in place. Install all of the remaining Raceway “C” Sections.

MEASURE, CUT AND FASTEN RACEWAY “C” CHANNEL To fasten with Screws: Drill 3/16 (5mm) pilot holes in the back of the “C” Channel ” (minumum 2 per section). If you’re using the Drywall Anchors, drill 7/32” (5.5mm) pilot holes in the drywall and insert the Anchors. If screwing the M6 screws directly into wood, use 5/64” (2mm) pilot holes. Screw the ”C” Channel in place. Install all of the remaining Raceway “C” Channel sections.

INSERT CABLES, CLOSE COVERS AND CONNECTORS The Cover of the Raceway Section slips into a Slot in the Connector, holding the Connector in place. First insert the end of the Raceway Cover into the Connector Slot then snap the Cover into the ”C” Channel Raceway “C” Channel Raceway Cover Connector Slot...

INSERT CABLES, CLOSE COVERS AND CONNECTORS In many cases, it’s easiest to pull the Connector off of the “C” Channel, slide the Raceway Cover into the Connector Slot, then push the both onto the “C” Channel.

INSERT CABLES, CLOSE COVERS AND CONNECTORS To snap the Raceway Cover into place, the easiest method is to tap with a Plastic Cap Hammer/Mallet. Be sure to strike with the head of the Hammer flush with the Cover surface. You can also use a Small Block of Wood and tap with a Regular Metal Cap Hammer.
