how to install Wiremold 20GB18 Steel Plugmold Multioutlet System

Installations should be performed by qualified electricians following local codes. The general steps below outline a typical wall-mounted Plugmold setup, emphasizing safety and proper electrical practices:

• Plan layout and measurement: Assess wall conditions, determine the desired spacing of outlets, and map the path for the Plugmold raceway to ensure convenient access and compliance with local electrical codes.
• Prepare raceway length and fittings: Cut the Plugmold raceway to the required length, and gather all necessary fittings, couplings, and mounting hardware suitable for the chosen configuration.
• Mount raceway to the wall: Use appropriate fasteners aligned with studs or solid backing to ensure a secure installation. Level the raceway to maintain a clean, professional appearance and minimize stress on the outlets and wiring.
• Run wiring and install receptacles: Route conductors through the raceway, connect outlets according to the configuration (single or alternating circuits, standard or isolated-ground options), and terminate conductors in accordance with electrical code requirements.
• Terminate power and test: Install any cover plates, secure all connections, and perform continuity, insulation resistance, and load testing to confirm proper operation and safety before energizing the system.
• Final inspection and commissioning: Verify that all outlets are functioning, that the raceway is secure, and that the installation complies with NEC or local standards. Document configuration details for future upgrades or maintenance.
