The best surface raceway?

[Sharpie]

I hate using wiremold and the like but sometimes it is the best option. What is the easiest to use, best looking.... stuff in this category that you have ever used?

I agree some of their stuff is trash. The whole industry needs to be reinvented. Especially the larger 4000 & 6000. Close to junk. All the schools spec it out for power and communication.

I don't use it.

Drywall is easy to patch so I put the wiring in the wall where it belongs.

Wiremold has it's place. The more you work with it the easier it becomes still not fun for some. Where you can't get in the wall (concrete,tile etc.) your choices are limited to wiremold or a conduit system then it's a matter of esthetics.

Umm... Ice cream. Did you get some at break time?

Was that stainless hard to work with?

All I could eat.

No, had to buy specialty tools for the stainless. Looks great when finished.

There are trucks lined up to get it, they take it to Bakersfield and spread it on the fields. Or so they say. I know we are eating it though.

Wasn't that an old Charlton Heston Movie from the 70's?

I am sure the SS is the cheapest to..... I cant imagine the price.

I always prefer Panduit over Wiremold.

MonoSystems is by far the best surface raceway ever made.


























Just kidding! In fact, I'd say it's actually the worst surface raceway ever made.

Yes, it is.

The cells are generally open

If not, punch thru and run conduit ouside :grin:

I'll do anything to avoid wiremold.

I tell them "cut and patch or learn to like conduit".
