Hammond CWCRD86 8x8 to 6x6 Corner Reducer for Type 1 Wireway

The CWCRD86 is a corner reducer that joins 8 x 8 in and 6 x 6 in sizes of the CW Type 1 Lay-In Wireway system. It is listed in the series as the Corner Reducer 8 x 8 to 6 x 6, the 8 x 8 in entry among the three corner reducers offered (4 x 4 to 2.5 x 2.5, 6 x 6 to 4 x 4 and 8 x 8 to 6 x 6). Electricians and plant wiring teams use fittings like this to change wireway size at a corner as part of a CW run.

The CW series is built so that its construction ensures electrical continuity and permits fast and easy indoor installation of multiple wireway runs.

The part measures 6 in x 8.14 in x 8.14 in (152 mm x 207 mm x 207 mm). The drawing shows 8.14 in and 6.14 in outside dimensions for the two sides of the corner, a 6.00 in height, angled faces at 30° and 150°, and Ø0.27 in holes. Shipping weight is 3 lbs (1.36 kg), and it ships in a box.

As part of the CW series, it is covered by UL-870 Type 1 and cUL Type 1 under UL File E186830 and complies with IEC 60529 IP20. The part is REACH and RoHS compliant. Matching 8 x 8 in series items include the CWJO8 joiner, the CWHD8 and CWHW8 hanger brackets and the CWRD86 in-line reducer, while the 6 x 6 in side mates with the 6 x 6 in sections and fittings of the same series.
