Wiremold ALA3800 External Elbow Fitting
Engineered for reliable, professional-grade cable management, the Wiremold ALA3800 External Elbow Fitting is an essential accessory for the ALA3800 Series Raceway. This external mitered elbow enables precise 90° turns in your raceway runs, delivering flexible configurations for commercial offices, data centers, and residential installations. With the included ALA01 couplings, installation becomes faster and more secure, reducing on-site complexity while preserving a clean, organized appearance. Designed to maximize space and improve accessibility, this elbow supports long-term reliability in busy environments where neat cable routing matters as much as performance.
- 90-degree external turns for seamless right-angle routing in ALA3800 Series Raceway, ensuring clean, unobstructed cable paths with minimal bending stress. The external design keeps cables away from tight radii, aiding in consistent wire spacing and reducing the risk of kinks or damage over time. This feature is ideal for installations where corridors, corners, or equipment enclosures demand precise, reliable transitions.
- Includes two ALA01 couplings for quick, secure connections that simplify assembly and reduce on-site time, helping installers deliver dependable results quickly. The couplings are designed to pair perfectly with the ALA3800 system, ensuring a snug fit and steady alignment as you build out complex runs or expand existing installations.
- External mitered elbow design minimizes tight bends and sharp transitions, improving cable organization and accessibility for maintenance or future upgrades. The mitered geometry provides smoother cable entry and exit paths, making it easier to pull new cables through the raceway without compromising protection or performance.
- Optimized space utilization with a purpose-built cable routing path that makes the most of available interior volume in raceway runs, reducing clutter and simplifying future expansion. By guiding cables in a tidy, predictable layout, you can maximize usable space, improve airflow around runs, and facilitate quicker inspections or changes to the system.
- Durable, purpose-built for the ALA3800 system delivering long-term reliability in commercial environments, with compatibility across the ALA3800 family and related accessories. This elbow fits seamlessly into established Wiremold configurations, supporting scalable installations that evolve with your electrical and data needs while maintaining professional aesthetics.

How to install Wiremold ALA3800 External Elbow Fitting
- Step 1: Plan your route and verify compatibility with the ALA3800 Series Raceway layout; consider doorways, furniture, and equipment locations to ensure the elbow will align with your preferred cable path and allow easy future access.
- Step 2: Power down the installation area and prepare the raceway segments, including cleaning surfaces, removing obstructions, and confirming mounting surfaces are secure for reliable support of the elbow and subsequent runs.
- Step 3: Attach the external elbow to the initial raceway segment using the included two ALA01 couplings, ensuring snuggly seated connections and proper alignment so downstream segments connect without effort or play.
- Step 4: Connect the downstream raceway section, align the elbow with the next run, and secure all connections following Wiremold installation guidelines to prevent loosening over time and maintain consistent cable routing.
- Step 5: Route cables through the elbow and along the raceway; check for smooth entry and exit paths, avoiding kinks, sharp bends, or interference with other building components, ventilation, or access panels.
- Step 6: Verify clearance, fasten mounting screws securely, and restore power to test the system; inspect the 90-degree turn for smooth operation and confirm that cables are protected and organized within the raceway.
- Step 7: Perform a final cable management check, labeling where appropriate, and document the configuration for future maintenance or upgrades to support quick, field-ready servicing.
