2. Safety Information

Always prioritize safety during installation and handling of electrical components. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in injury or damage to property.

• Ensure all power is disconnected from circuits before working on or near electrical raceway systems.
• Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as safety glasses and gloves.
• Consult local electrical codes and regulations to ensure compliance during installation.
• Do not overload raceway channels with excessive cables, as this can lead to overheating or damage.
• If you are unsure about any aspect of the installation, consult a qualified electrician.

4. Setup and Installation

This fitting is designed for use with Wiremold 500 Series single-channel surface raceway. Follow these steps for proper installation:

1. Preparation: Ensure the raceway channels are cut to the desired lengths and are securely mounted to the wall or surface.
2. Insert Placement: Position the steel elbow insert/base into the end of the raceway channel where the 45-degree turn is required. Ensure it aligns properly with the raceway's internal structure.
3. Secure Connection: If applicable, use screws or clips (sold separately, if not integrated) to secure the steel insert to the raceway channel and the mounting surface. Refer to the raceway system's main installation guide for specific fastening methods.
4. Cable Routing: Route the cables through the raceway and around the bend created by the steel insert. Ensure cables are not pinched or excessively bent.
5. Cover Installation: Snap or slide the ivory elbow cover over the steel insert and the connected raceway channels. Ensure the cover fits snugly and securely, providing a clean and protective enclosure for the cables.
6. Final Check: Verify that the fitting is securely attached and that all cables are properly contained within the raceway system.

5. Operation

As a passive fitting, the Wiremold V512 does not have active operational controls. Its function is to provide a safe, organized, and aesthetically pleasing pathway for electrical wires and data cables around a 45-degree corner. Once installed, it continuously performs its role in protecting and concealing cables within the raceway system.

6. Maintenance

The Wiremold V512 fitting requires minimal maintenance:

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe the exterior surface of the fitting with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Inspection: Occasionally inspect the fitting and surrounding raceway for any signs of damage, loose connections, or wear. Ensure the cover remains securely attached.
• Cable Management: If new cables are added or removed, ensure the raceway capacity is not exceeded and that the fitting remains properly seated.

7. Troubleshooting

Most issues related to the V512 fitting are installation-related:

• Fitting Does Not Fit Snugly: Ensure the raceway channels are properly aligned and cut squarely. Check for any obstructions or debris within the raceway ends.
• Cover Does Not Close: Verify that the steel insert is correctly seated and that cables are not overfilling the raceway channel, preventing the cover from snapping into place.
• Damage During Installation: If the fitting or raceway is damaged during installation, replace the affected components to maintain safety and integrity.
