Question, can unistrut with a cover be used as a wireway?

 

[barbeer]

Not unless listed to do so, and I don't think it is.

 

[goindowner]

384.6 states as long as it is listed and identified for such use.

Honestly, I didn't even know of that article. I was however looking for the stuff they use in Publix supermarkets and that is more than likely it!

This is from their catalog on their website (Unistrut's website, that is):

Unistrut channel is listed by Underwriters' Laboratories as a surface metal raceway. Snap-in closure strip is used to complete the raceway. Accessory parts listed by Underwriters are noted on drawings.​

I have used it as a raceway a number of times, mostly in industrial facilities.

With the particular manufacturers componets and plates you can install devices in it.

they used to make a flat cable that had a-b-c-n-and ground in it. You could buy boxes with pigtails that pierced the cable for power

Take a look at 384.22 for the number of conductors permitted in strut type channel raceway.

Noting that its in the High 300's, I'll just never think of Uni-strut the same again... thanks ...

Your welcome.

Unistrut, is there anything it can't do.

[donselectric]

yes, we used to use it all the time when doing rows of industrial flourecent fixtures

We use the Kindorf raceway quite often for lighting in commercial and industrial buildings. Almost the same as the Unistrut stuff.
