EVEO Cable Concealer
EVEO Cord Covers Instruction Manual
Model: Cable Concealer
Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, use, and maintenance of your EVEO Cord Covers. Designed to effectively conceal and organize cables, these cord covers help create a safer and more aesthetically pleasing environment by eliminating unsightly wire clutter. Please read this manual thoroughly before beginning installation to ensure proper setup and optimal performance.
Safety Information
- Ensure all power to cables is disconnected before handling or installing cord covers.
- Do not overload the raceways with too many cables. Refer to specifications for capacity.
- Keep out of reach of small children and pets during installation to prevent accidental ingestion of small parts.
- When using adhesive, be aware that it is strong and may damage painted surfaces upon removal. Consider alternative mounting methods (e.g., screws) if wall damage is a concern, especially in rental properties.
- Use appropriate tools for cutting raceway sections (e.g., hacksaw) and wear protective eyewear.
Package Contents
Verify that all components are present in your package:
- Cable Raceway Sections (9 x L17 inches)
- Connectors (various types: T-fitting, Couplings, Flat Elbows, Inside Elbows, Outside Elbows)
- Mounting Screws and Wall Anchors
- Adhesive Tape (pre-applied or separate rolls)
- Measuring Tape
Setup and Installation
The EVEO Cord Covers are designed for quick and easy installation. You can choose between adhesive mounting or screw mounting for a more permanent fixture.
1. Planning and Measurement
Before installation, plan the path for your cables. Measure the required lengths of raceway sections. The raceways can be cut to size using a hacksaw if needed.
2. Mounting Options
Adhesive Mounting: For a quick and tool-free installation, use the pre-applied strong adhesive tape on the back of the raceway sections. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth before applying. Press firmly along the entire length for secure adhesion.
Screw Mounting: For a more permanent and secure installation, especially on textured surfaces or if you anticipate frequent cable changes, use the provided screws and wall anchors. Mark the drill points through the raceway, drill pilot holes, insert anchors, and then screw the raceway into place.
3. Inserting Cables and Attaching Covers
Once the base of the raceway is mounted, place your cables inside the channel. Then, align the cover with the base and gently snap it into place. The snap-on design allows for easy access to cables if adjustments are needed.
4. Using Connectors
Utilize the various connectors (couplings, elbows, T-fittings) to navigate corners and extend runs. These connectors ensure a seamless and professional appearance around obstacles and changes in direction.
5. Painting the Covers (Optional)
The EVEO Cord Covers are paintable, allowing them to blend perfectly with your wall color. Use a paint suitable for plastic surfaces. Ensure the covers are clean and dry before painting for best results.

Operating Instructions
Once installed, the EVEO Cord Covers operate passively by concealing cables. No active operation is required. To add or remove cables, gently pry open the cover section, insert or remove cables, and then snap the cover back into place.
Maintenance
Maintain the appearance of your cord covers by regularly wiping them with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the material or paint finish. Ensure the covers are dry after cleaning.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Adhesive not sticking | Surface is dirty, dusty, or uneven; temperature too low. | Clean and dry the surface thoroughly. Ensure room temperature is adequate for adhesive application. Consider using screws for a more secure mount. |
| Raceway cover won't snap on | Cables are too bulky or not properly arranged inside. | Ensure cables are neatly laid within the channel and not exceeding its capacity. Gently press along the length of the cover until it clicks into place. |
| Paint peeling or not adhering | Surface not properly prepared; incorrect paint type used. | Clean the surface before painting. Use a primer designed for plastic if necessary. Ensure the paint is suitable for polypropylene or plastic surfaces. |
| Damage to wall upon removal | Strong adhesive bond to delicate wall surfaces. | The adhesive is very strong. If removal is anticipated, consider using fewer adhesive strips or opting for screw mounting. Repair wall surface as needed. |
