This elbow fitting is ideal for commercial offices, classrooms, healthcare facilities, retail environments, and residential media setups where project timelines and aesthetics matter as much as reliability. Its modern, flat-turn geometry reduces interference with furniture, fixtures, and architectural features, enabling fast, professional installations even in tight spaces. By delivering consistent fit and predictable performance, the ALA4800 helps electricians, facility managers, and DIY enthusiasts achieve a polished look and durable operation from day one.

• 90-degree flat turn for clean, low-profile routing: The ALA4800 is engineered to execute a precise 90-degree bend without adding bulk to the raceway run. This flat elbow design minimizes visual clutter and physical obstruction under desks, along walls, and in crowded data centers. By maintaining a slim footprint, it preserves alcoves, cable trays, and power corridors while ensuring cables stay clear of moisture, heat sources, or pinch points. The result is a streamlined, professional installation that looks as good as it performs, even when cables stretch across busy environments.
• Includes four ALA01 couplings for quick, reliable connections: Each package of the ALA4800 ships with four ALA01 couplings, giving you a complete corner solution right out of the box. The couplings provide secure, tight-fitting connections that resist loosening over time, reducing maintenance and rework. This helps keep cables organized and accessible for future changes, making it easy to reconfigure or expand your raceway system without tools or extra parts. The integrated design also supports faster project timelines, enabling technicians to move from layout to finished install with confidence.
• Durable, high-quality construction for long-term use: Built to withstand the rigors of busy environments, the ALA4800 uses sturdy, durable materials designed to resist daily wear and tear. The robust construction protects internal conductors from accidental impact and abrasion, helps maintain consistent electrical separation, and preserves the integrity of your cable bundles over years of service. This longevity translates into lower replacement costs and less downtime for maintenance—critical factors in commercial settings where uptime is essential.
• Easy integration with standard raceways and hassle-free maintenance: The flat elbow fits seamlessly into established Wiremold raceway systems, enabling quick adoption without reworking existing layouts. Its precise tolerances ensure a secure, wobble-free fit that stays aligned through temperature changes and vibration. When cables require service or upgrades, the ALA4800 allows straightforward access, minimizing disruption to nearby equipment and workspaces. Maintenance becomes predictable rather than disruptive, helping facilities teams stay on track with project schedules and safety protocols.
• Versatile applications for data, power, and communication cabling: The ALA4800 Flat Elbow Fitting supports a wide range of cabling scenarios, from office data networks to flexible power distributions and multimedia setups. Its 90-degree design is particularly beneficial in tight corridors, under stairwells, behind wall panels, and around furniture where space is at a premium. By organizing cables in a dedicated raceway with a reliable elbow transition, you reduce the risk of cable damage, signal interference, and accidental unplugging, while keeping installations visually tidy and standards-compliant.

How to Install Wiremold ALA4800 Flat Elbow Fitting

Installing the ALA4800 is a straightforward process that reinforces fast project completion while preserving a clean, professional look. Before you begin, review your raceway layout and confirm the intended 90-degree turn location. Gather the included ALA01 couplings, along with any additional hardware your project requires, and ensure the raceway segments are clean and free of debris to maximize fit and performance.

• Step 1 — Prepare the layout: Map the raceway path and mark the elbow location to ensure a precise transition. Confirm that the space around the turn allows for smooth insertion of the elbow and couplings. The goal is to minimize forced bending of cables and to avoid sharp twists at the turn, preserving cable integrity and signal quality.
• Step 2 — Align the elbow: Position the ALA4800 so its flat turn aligns with the planned path. Verify that the faces match the mating raceway sections, and ensure there is a clean line of sight for quick inspection during final assembly. Alignment accuracy reduces gaps and potential snag points, delivering a tight, professional finish.
• Step 3 — Connect with ALA01 couplings: Attach the four ALA01 couplings to secure the elbow to adjacent raceway segments. Press firmly until you hear or feel a positive engage, indicating a secure connection. The couplings are designed to provide dependable retention without requiring excessive force, which helps prevent damage to raceway edges or cables during installation.
• Step 4 — Route and secure cables: Thread cables into the raceway through the elbow, ensuring they are neatly organized and evenly distributed. Avoid overfilling the conduit inside the elbow to prevent excessive bending radii. Use cable ties or raceway clamps as needed to maintain tidy bundles and prevent movement that could lead to wear or disconnections over time.
• Step 5 — Inspect and test: After installation, inspect the turn for clearance and alignment. Confirm that connections are secure and that there is no visible gapping at the elbow joints. If the project involves data or sensitive equipment, perform a basic continuity or signal test to verify that the path remains clear and unobstructed by the elbow transition.
• Tips for best results: Keep the raceway path as straight as possible before and after the elbow to minimize unintended stress on cables. If future upgrades are anticipated, consider leaving a little extra slack within the raceway for easier rerouting. Regular maintenance checks can extend the life of the elbow and the entire raceway system, especially in dynamic environments with frequent reconfigurations.
