HAMMOND 4x4x12 Steel Wire Ducting Trough w/ Knockouts

HAMMOND CGT1244 is a 4 x 4 x 12-inch steel wire ducting trough (Type 1 gutter trough) with knockouts and a screw-on cover, finished in ANSI 61 gray for protected, organized surface-mounted wiring.

This CGT1244 wiring trough from HAMMOND is built for surface raceway applications where durable, low-profile wire management is required. Fabricated from carbon steel and finished with a powder coat in ANSI 61 gray, the unit meets NEMA 1 indoor protection requirements and includes pre-punched knockouts for simple conduit connections. Its screw-on cover provides secure access while keeping conductors enclosed and tidy.

How does the CGT1244 simplify routing and protecting wires?

The steel trough creates a rigid pathway that keeps cables grouped and protected from incidental contact and environmental dust typical in indoor electrical rooms or industrial workspaces. Pre-punched knockouts reduce field drilling, speeding installation while preserving the trough’s integrity.

• 4 x 4 cross-section for compact yet ample wiring capacity
• 12" length modules for modular layout and easier handling
• Preformed knockouts enable quick conduit or cable entry
• Screw-on cover secures wiring and permits straightforward maintenance

What materials and finish does this raceway use, and why does that matter?

This model is made from carbon steel with a durable powder coat in ANSI 61 gray, offering a balance of strength and corrosion resistance suitable for indoor use. The finish resists chips and scuffs better than bare metal, helping maintain a professional appearance in visible installations.

• Carbon steel construction for rigidity and long service life
• Powder-coated ANSI 61 gray for consistent, low-glare aesthetics
• NEMA 1 rating for protection against indoor non-hazardous environments
• Screw cover minimizes paint wear at access points

How will installation and maintenance work with the CGT1244?

The trough’s 12-inch sections and screw-on cover make handling, wiring, and later access straightforward for electricians or maintenance staff. Knockouts cut installation time by allowing common conduit sizes to be connected without special tools or additional fabrication.

• Screw cover removable with standard hand tools for fast access
• Lightweight 12" lengths simplify lifting and positioning
• Standard knockout patterns accommodate typical conduit fittings
• Modular design enables linear runs and easy splicing points

Where is this trough best applied and what limitations should I know?

Designed for indoor, non-corrosive settings, the CGT1244 is ideal for control rooms, equipment enclosures, factories, and commercial buildings needing neat surface raceways. It is not intended for outdoor, wet, or hazardous locations; for those environments, select an appropriately rated enclosure or trough.

• Ideal for offices, mechanical rooms, manufacturing floors (indoor use)
• Not rated for outdoor exposure or wet/hazardous locations
• Best used where visible, professional wiring runs are required
• Pairs well with matching HAMMOND accessories and fittings for clean installations

Who is this for: The HAMMOND CGT1244 is suited to electricians, facilities managers, and contractors who need a compact, durable surface-mounted raceway that speeds installation and keeps wiring organized. Choose this model when you require a robust steel solution with pre-punched knockouts and a secure screw-on cover for frequent access and tidy, long-lasting runs.
