How to install Wiremold ALA4800 External Elbow Fitting

• Plan and prepare: Determine the optimal location for the elbow to achieve a smooth 90-degree transition in your Isoduct Aluminum Raceway layout. Confirm compatibility with the ALA4800 series and ensure there is adequate space for the elbow and the required cable bend radius.
• Safety and codes: Power down affected circuits and review local electrical and building codes. Verify that the installation complies with applicable standards for commercial installations and cabling separation.
• Mounting preparation: Select appropriate mounting hardware based on the wall or surface type. Use mounting plates or brackets designed for the ALA4800 system and secure them firmly to the substrate to support the elbow and routed cables.
• Assemble the elbow onto the raceway: Align the external elbow with the two-channel Isoduct raceway. Slide the elbow into place and confirm a snug fit. Snap the dual covers over the channels to complete the enclosure and protect the cables.
• Route and verify: Thread cables through the channels, avoiding sharp bends or kinks. Check that all covers close fully, doors align flush with the raceway, and conduct a final inspection to ensure tidy routing and accessibility for future maintenance.
