How to Install Metal Wiremold Elbows

Wiremold allows you to hide cables and wires on the surface of a wall without having to break the wall. The wiremold has various items that must be installed to cover the wire including a base called the raceway. On top of the raceway you put the covers including elbows on all turns. The most sensitive part of a wiremold installation is the elbow. The elbow covers the turns and angles and holds the the straight covers in place. With the right tools and directions you will be able to install a metal wiremold elbow in no time.

     Line up the elbow cover over the raceway base corner. Push in the elbow cover so it snaps in place and holds both ends of the fitting covers. Sometimes the metal wiremold elbows can be difficult to snap on. Use the rubber mallet to gently hammer it in until it snaps in place.
