Scroll to Pricing

Do you have old wires stuck behind your walls and wont allow new wires to be installed? Making use of the KWIKPATH™ Plenum Optical Fiber & Communication Raceways will permit you to run multiple cables or wired through the passages of these cable protectors preventing wires from tangling and cluttering the raceways saving you lots of money in new cable installs.

The KWIKPATH™ Plenum Optical Fiber & Communication Raceways are made from an orange UL approved non-metallic PVC compound to shield your wires and cables from fire, smoke density, and physical damage while allowing for easy identification in basements or ceilings.

Markers in every foot of this lightweight cable raceway makes cutting to desired lengths during installation simple so that waste is minimal.

Complete any project with this wire loom as it is available in lengths from 200 to 5,000 feet and sizes from ¾ inches to 2 inches in diameter for large bulky cables or wires.

KWIKPATH Plenum couplings and terminal adapters are also available for joining two raceways together with a clean snap-on design for precise attachments.

Contractors depend on high quality plenum raceways and adapters to complete projects in a professional manner which is why they use KWIKPATH™ Plenum Optical Fiber & Communication Raceways for all residential and commercial cable management.

Features
  • Packaged in reels for large projects or easy-to-use 200 foot coils to dispense only the amount of plenum raceway needed
  • Lower installation costs in retrofits by eliminating the need to remove existing cabling
  • Made from a UL approved non-metallic PVC compound that meets UL 2024 tests on flame propagation and smoke density far below standard requirements
  • Bright orange in color, this plenum raceway is easily identifiable to the installer and comes with sequential markers every foot
  • Available in lengths from 200 to 5000 feet so you can measure just the right amount of raceway for your project and use fewer couplings
  • Available in 3/4" to 2" sizes in convenient 200 foot pull tape boxes or reels for jobs greater than 200 feet in length
  • Reels for large jobs are disposable so you don’t have to store them or return them
  • No special tools required for installation
  • Kwikpath can be cut to size with a regular utility knife or scissor style utility knife
  • So flexible you can bend it by hand to get around twists and turns in areas where space is limited saving time and material costs
  • Plenum fittings are a simple snap on style with six locking tabs to make sure the fittings stay connected eliminating the need for cement or screws to hold the coils or couplings together
  • UV Packaging to protect your raceway product until installed
  • 3 year manufacturer's warranty

PLENUM FITTINGS

KWIKPATH Plenum couplings, terminal adapters complete with lockout nut and the Y Coupler are made from non metallic plenum approved material meeting all UL requirements to secure your systems' plenum rated integrity.

  • Plenum couplings and terminal adapters are available in 3/4" to 2” sizes
  • Plenum couplings are used to join two pieces of raceway together with a clean snap on design
  • Plenum terminal adapters will terminate your raceway neatly without messy taped or cemented ends

Y Coupler

  • The Plenum rated can be used in Resi Raceways, Kwikpath Riser Raceways and Plenum applications
  • Used for making branches in raceway for sizes 3/4” to 2”
  • Can be used for new or retrofit installations for convenience
  • Allows you to branch off from existing installations without removing cables or using large pull boxes which saves time an money e a branch by snapping into any size raceway (3/4” to 2”)

Seal End Plugs
Seal end plugs are used to seal the ends of the raceway when not being used to prevent water from entering the raceway until future retrofit installations are required. (Sold as accessory)

Conduit Clamps and Spacers
Easier to install than straps, these cost effective conduit clamps to support PVC plenum conduit away from the mounting surface provide durability, strength and flexibility to your raceway system. (Sold as accessory)

Specifications

Inside and Outside Diameters - Kwikpath Plenum Internal and External Dimensions

Dimensional specifications are applied to nonmetallic conduit in order that they may fulfill their function of housing cabling without causing abrasion when cables are pulled through the inside of the conduit. Wall thickness is specified so that the conduit adequately protects the conductors inside from damage. Fittings are to be provided with end stops (centering stop for a coupling). The maximum inside diameter of the stop cannot exceed the minimum outside diameter of the conduit.

Radius of Bends

Any bends must be made so that the optical fiber and communication cable raceway will not be damaged and the internal diameter of the optical fiber and communication cable raceway will not be effectively reduced. Bends can be made manually without auxiliary equipment. However, the radius of the curve to the centerline of such bends shall not be less than shown in the following table
