Description
Wiremold 6000 Circuit Breaker Housing Fitting
The 6000 Series Raceway by Wiremold is engineered to power modern electrical systems with exceptional organization, safety, and flexibility. Designed for high-capacity cable management, this circuit breaker housing fitting can be used both as divided sections for separate wiring circuits or undivided headers and feeders, giving you the versatility you need for complex commercial or industrial installations. Ideal for large cabling infrastructures, the 6000 Raceway supports efficient routing to a designated location, minimizing visual clutter while improving accessibility for maintenance and future expansion. With its robust construction and modular design, the 6000 is the reliable backbone for service entrances, distribution panels, and multi-service applications where space, order, and safety matter most.
-
Versatile division options for multiple circuits: The 6000 Circuit Breaker Housing Fitting is purpose-built to support both divided configurations for separate wiring circuits and undivided setups for headers and feeders. This flexibility makes it an ideal choice for facilities that require organized, scalable power distribution across different zones, equipment groups, and service tiers. Whether you’re isolating critical lighting and power circuits or consolidating feeders for a centralized distribution hub, the 6000 Raceway delivers clean separation when needed and seamless integration when unified routing is preferred.
-
High-capacity cabling and streamlined routing: When large volumes of cabling are involved, the 6000 Series Raceway shines by providing ample internal space and smooth, obstacle-free pathways. Its design accommodates substantial cable counts, supports multi-service applications, and minimizes bend radii to help protect conductors from damage over time. With careful layout, you can bring wiring from a central cabinet to distant workstations or machinery with fewer junctions, reducing installation time and simplifying future maintenance or upgrades.
-
Durable construction for demanding environments: Built for reliability, the 6000 Circuit Breaker Housing Fitting features rugged materials and a finish that withstands the rigors of commercial and industrial settings. A sturdy frame provides rigid support for long runs, while a powder-coated exterior resists corrosion and wear from everyday use. This durability translates into fewer service calls, longer service life, and a safer, neater appearance in stairwells, mechanical rooms, and high-traffic areas where cable management matters.
-
Easy installation and maintenance: The 6000 Raceway is designed with installers in mind. Its modular components, accessible channels, and straightforward assembly reduce installation time and labor costs. Removable covers, clearly defined sections, and compatible fittings simplify wiring changes, inspections, and upgrades. The system also promotes safer work practices by keeping live conductors organized and shielded within dedicated housings, helping to minimize the risk of accidental contact during service or reconfiguration.
-
Code-conscious safety and compatibility: Wiremold’s 6000 Series is crafted to support safe, compliant electrical installations across a range of commercial settings. Its configuration options are designed to align with typical building codes for cable management, grounding, and circuit distribution, facilitating orderly integration with breakers, panels, and feeders. By delivering tidy, protected pathways for cables and components, the 6000 helps reduce overload risks and improves overall electrical system reliability.

How to Install Wiremold 6000
- Plan the route: Assess the installation area and sketch the layout to determine where the 6000 Raceway will run, how many circuits will be housed, and the location of feeders and headers. Identify any obstacles, required bends, and mounting surfaces to ensure a smooth, code-compliant installation.
- Measure and cut: Based on your plan, measure the required lengths and cut the raceway components to size. Make precise cuts to maintain clean joints and reduce gaps that could collect dust or impede cable flow. Use appropriate cutting tools and safety gear as needed.
- Mount the raceway: Secure the 6000 Raceway to walls, studs, or other structural surfaces using compatible fasteners. Ensure alignment is level and that mounting supports are capable of bearing the expected load. Tighten fasteners securely to maintain long-term stability and reduce vibration that could wear fittings over time.
- Install fittings and route conductors: Place circuit breaker housing fittings into the raceway as required by your divided or undivided configuration. Route conductors through the channels, maintaining proper separation for different circuits and ensuring adequate bend radii. Keep conductors organized to support easy future access and maintenance.
- Connect and secure: Attach the necessary breakers, connectors, and accessories to the housing fitting and raceway. Install covers and doors as specified, ensuring all closures are fully seated to protect conductors. Label circuits clearly for future service, test the system with the power off, and verify that all components are properly grounded and shielded as needed for safety and compliance.
- Inspect and test: After assembly, perform a thorough inspection for any gaps, loose fasteners, or misrouted cables. With power disconnected, conduct basic continuity and insulation tests where appropriate, and ensure fingers or tools cannot access live conductors. Schedule a final commissioning check in line with local electrical codes.
