How to install Wiremold 500/700 Five-Gang Switch and Receptacle Box Fitting

• Plan your layout: Identify where you want your outlets, switches, or data ports and how the raceway will run along the wall. Ensure the chosen path avoids hidden plumbing, HVAC components, and gas lines.
• Power down and prepare: Turn off power at the circuit breaker for the area you’ll be working in. Gather the required tools, including a measuring tape, saw or snips appropriate for non-metallic raceway, a screwdriver, and appropriate mounting hardware.
• Cut to length: If needed, trim the raceway to the desired length using the appropriate cutting tool for non-metallic materials. Deburr edges to prevent cable wear and ensure a clean fit.
• Attach fittings: Assemble the 500/700 five-gang box fittings and secure any end caps or covers as specified for your kit. Ensure the raceway sections align snugly and are ready to receive devices.
• Run and connect wiring: Pull conductors through the raceway channels, keeping wires organized and separated as needed for power, data, and communications. Connect switches and outlets according to local electrical codes and the device manufacturer’s instructions.
• Mount devices: Install your switches and receptacles into their respective boxes within the five-gang assembly. Secure with appropriate screws, ensuring a firm, flush fit.
• Secure and test: Snap the devices and covers into the raceway, verify all connections are secure, and restore power. Test each switch and outlet for proper operation and inspect for any signs of loose components or exposed conductors.
• Finish and clean: Replace any end caps or decorative covers, wipe away dust, and confirm that the installation aligns with local electrical codes and standards for safety and aesthetics.
