Middle Atlantic NM Ext. Elbow 5500 Ivory - 5518

Middle Atlantic 5518 Non-Metallic External Elbow Fitting — 5500 Series, Ivory

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 5518 is an external elbow fitting designed for the Middle Atlantic 5500-series non-metallic raceway system. It provides a finished 90-degree directional transition for cable management raceway runs where conduit changes direction along an exterior wall surface — corners, offsets, and transitions between wall planes. The 5518 snaps into the 5500 raceway profile to maintain a clean, continuous appearance without exposed wiring. TAA-compliant, making it eligible for federally funded installations and government projects where country-of-origin compliance is required.

Compatibility

The 5518 is engineered specifically for the Middle Atlantic 5500-series non-metallic raceway system. It is not cross-compatible with the 500, 700, or 5400 series — confirm your installed raceway is the 5500 profile before ordering. The ivory finish matches standard 5500-series raceway components; verify the finish of your existing installation matches before mixing pieces. Pair with raceway fittings and couplers from the same 5500 family to complete corners, end caps, and flat-elbow transitions in a consistent finish.

Installation Notes

Designed for tool-free or minimal-tool installation consistent with non-metallic surface raceway systems. Secure the fitting at the elbow transition point before routing cable — pulling wire through an unanchored elbow risks fitting displacement. For raceway accessory planning in multi-run installations, order fittings alongside base raceway to avoid job-site delays. No adhesive or fastener torque specs published for this component; follow the Middle Atlantic 5500 installation guide for anchoring intervals and surface prep.
