Wiremold S4000 Panel Connector Fitting
The Wiremold S4000 Panel Connector Fitting is engineered to deliver a secure, seamless connection between the S4000 Series Raceway and surface-type panel boxes. Designed for professional electrical installations, this connector helps you achieve a clean, code-compliant junction where raceway meets enclosure. It embodies the quality Wiremold is known for, providing a robust coupling that aligns with S4000 Raceway’s specifications while simplifying installation workflows. The connector’s thoughtful design accommodates the realities of field cutting and panel box tolerances, offering a practical solution that reduces installation time without compromising performance. A separate C-shaped flange fits around the raceway, covering irregularities from cutting into the panel box and ensuring a tidy finish even when box openings aren’t perfectly square. By enabling a precise fit and reliable electrical pathway, this fitting supports organized conduit-like routing, improved cable management, and safer, neater interiors in commercial, industrial, and residential settings. The hole size required for installation is 4 3/4 inches by 1 3/4 inches (121 mm x 44 mm), a dimension chosen to balance ease of access with effective cable clearance. In short, the S4000 Panel Connector Fitting delivers exceptional quality and dependable performance when you need to bridge Wiremold raceways with surface-mounted panel enclosures.
- The connector is purpose-built to connect S4000 Series Raceway to surface-type panel boxes, ensuring a secure, straightforward junction that minimizes misalignment and gaps. Its precise geometry is designed to maintain a continuous, tidy line along the boundary between raceway and box, which helps improve both aesthetics and cable management on the job site. This makes it an essential accessory for installers who value efficiency and a professional look, whether the project is a new build, a retrofit, or a retrofit expansion where raceways must integrate cleanly with existing panels.
- It accommodates the maximum wire capacity of the S4000 Series Raceway, enabling you to route the full range of conductors required by your installation without needing to downgrade fittings or add bulky adapters. This compatibility is particularly valuable in higher-density layouts or where large feeders are used, as it preserves the integrity of the system and supports reliable conductor insulation, strain relief, and uninterrupted current flow. By matching the raceway’s capacity, the connector helps maintain overall system performance and simplifies compliance with applicable electrical codes.
- The fitting features a separate C-shaped flange that fits around the raceway, covering irregularities from cutting into the panel box. This thoughtful flange design hides rough edges and gap inconsistencies that can occur when opening a panel box, contributing to a safer, smoother installation. The flange also aids alignment during mounting, reducing punch-in time and helping ensure a flush, professional appearance in the finished install. This feature is especially beneficial in tight or awkward spaces where precision is key to achieving a neat interface between raceway and enclosure.
- Installers must cut a hole sized 4 3/4" x 1 3/4" (121 mm x 44 mm) in the panel box to accommodate the connector. This standardized opening provides ample space for routing conductors while allowing the connector to seat securely around the raceway. Proper hole preparation is essential to maximize the effectiveness of the C-shaped flange and to prevent damage to the enclosure. Use an appropriate hole-cutting tool and follow PPE guidelines and local code requirements to ensure a clean, square cut that aligns with the connector’s profile for a solid, leakage-free fit.
- Overall, the S4000 Panel Connector Fitting embodies exceptional quality through its engineered fit, reliable performance, and practical installation features. It is designed to withstand the daily demands of commercial and industrial environments, providing a durable interface that supports consistent electrical pathways and organized cable management. By combining compatibility with the S4000 Series Raceway, a flange that conceals cut irregularities, and a precisely sized panel opening, this connector helps deliver a professional, code-compliant finish that technicians and facility managers can trust over the long term.

How to install the Wiremold S4000 Panel Connector Fitting
- Power down the circuit and verify the panel box is suitable for the installation, following all relevant electrical codes and safety practices.
- Mark the location for the panel box opening and the connector position on the surface-type panel box, ensuring alignment with the S4000 Series Raceway run.
- Cut a clean, square opening in the panel box measuring 4 3/4" x 1/4"? Wait: 4 3/4" x 1 3/4" (121 mm x 44 mm) as specified. Use a proper hole saw or appropriate cutting tool to minimize edge irregularities.
- Position the S4000 Panel Connector Fitting around the raceway so the C-shaped flange can engage the panel box edge and cover any irregularities from the cut.
- Secure the connector to the panel box per the manufacturer’s hardware recommendations (fasteners appropriate for the panel material and mounting surface). Ensure the flange sits flush against the enclosure to create a clean, protective interface.
- Route the conductors through the connector and raceway, then terminate and test the installation according to local electrical codes, verifying that all connections are secure and that there is no undue stress on the conductors at the interface.
