Abstract

An adjustable corner fitting suitable for use with a cable raceway duct system includes first and second interconnectable arcuate base members and first and second interconnectable covers. One of the base members has at least one arcuate slot and the other of the base members has at least one boss positionable within the at least one slot. The arcuate slot has a curvature and a length that constrains the boss within the slot and allows pivoting of the first base member relative to the second base member about a pivot point within a predetermined range of relative angular movement when the first and second interconnectable arcuate base members are mated. One of the covers has at least one slot and the other has at least one latch positionable within the slot of the one cover. The first and second arcuate covers are interconnectable with each other allowing relative pivotal movement therebetween and interconnectable with the first and second interconnectable arcuate base members to form an adjustable corner fitting that mates with a raceway duct section. The corner fitting can be positioned at one of several angular configurations within a range of angular movement defined by the slo…
