Middle Atlantic NM Fbrdy INT Elbw 5400 WH - 5417FO-WH

Middle Atlantic 5417FO-WH Non-Metallic Raceway Internal Elbow Fitting

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 5417FO-WH is a non-metallic internal elbow fitting designed for the 5400-series full-capacity radiused raceway system. At 4 in tall and 5.5 in wide, this fitting handles inside-corner transitions in cable management runs without forcing tight bends that stress conductors — a consistent problem when corners are framed with rigid conduit rather than purpose-fit components. The white finish (5417FO-WH, often searched as 5417FO WH) matches the 5400-series raceway for a clean, uniform appearance in finished commercial interiors. TAA compliance makes it a straightforward choice for government facilities and federally funded projects with domestic-preference procurement requirements. For integrators sourcing the full Middle Atlantic raceway line, this fitting keeps the cable path radius-consistent at every inside corner — reducing pull tension and protecting insulation over the life of the installation.

Key Features

• Full-Capacity Internal Elbow: Sized at 5.5 in wide to match the 5400-series raceway's full interior cross-section — cables aren't pinched or stacked at the corner, which matters on runs carrying both power and low-voltage signal in the same pathway.
• Non-Metallic Construction: Avoids the grounding and bonding considerations that come with metallic fittings in mixed-voltage environments. Easier to work with in finished wall installations where a metal edge could damage wire jackets during pulls.
• 4-Inch Profile: The 4 in height keeps the fitting compact at corners, fitting flush against standard wall surfaces without creating a bulge that draws attention in customer-facing spaces.
• White Finish: Matches the 5400-series raceway for visual continuity. In retail, office, and light commercial environments where the raceway is surface-mounted in occupied space, a mismatched fitting stands out immediately.
• TAA Compliant: Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements — relevant for GSA schedules, federal integrations, and any project with TAA language in the contract. No substitution or waiver required for this fitting.

Integration & Compatibility

The 5417FO-WH is designed specifically for the 5400-series non-metallic raceway from Middle Atlantic. Confirm the raceway series before ordering — this fitting is dimensionally matched to the 5400 profile and will not align correctly with 3800-series or 4000-series raceways. Pair with the appropriate straight sections, couplings, and outlet fittings from the same 5400 family to maintain a complete, matched installation. For projects requiring structured cable pathways through multiple wall transitions, plan elbow placement before pulling wire — retrofitting corners after cable is in place significantly increases labor time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the 5417FO-WH TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The 5417FO-WH is confirmed TAA compliant, making it suitable for government projects, GSA schedule procurement, and any contract with Trade Agreements Act requirements.

Q: What raceway series does the 5417FO-WH fit?

A: The 5417FO-WH is designed for the Middle Atlantic 5400-series full-capacity non-metallic radiused raceway. It is not interchangeable with other Middle Atlantic raceway series that have different dimensional profiles.

Q: What color is the 5417FO-WH?

A: White. The finish is matched to the 5400-series raceway for visual continuity in surface-mounted installations.

Q: What are the dimensions of the 5417FO-WH?

A: The fitting measures 4 in (10.2 cm) in height and 5.5 in (14 cm) in width.

Q: Is this fitting metallic or non-metallic?

A: Non-metallic. This simplifies installation in environments where metallic fittings would introduce grounding or bonding requirements, and reduces the risk of jacket damage during cable pulls.

Jerry Tildsen

The 5417FO-WH is the piece that gets skipped in the bill of materials and then causes a field delay when the installer hits an inside corner with no fitting on the truck. At 5.5 in wide, it matches the full interior width of the 5400-series raceway — which means cable fill at the corner stays consistent with the straight run, not reduced by a tight-radius bend that compresses the pathway.

Technical Highlights:

• 5.5 in Width: Matches the 5400-series raceway's full cross-section at the corner — no derating of cable fill capacity just because you changed direction.
• Non-Metallic Construction: Eliminates the need to bond metallic fittings to the grounding system in low-voltage security and AV runs — one less step in inspection-sensitive installs.
• TAA Compliance: Verified for this SKU — covers the fitting for federal facilities, GSA schedule projects, and any procurement with TAA language without requiring a separate compliance review.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm the 5400-series raceway is already specified before ordering — this fitting is dimensionally matched to that family and will not align with Middle Atlantic's other raceway profiles.
• Plan elbow locations on the raceway layout drawing before cable pull — adding corners after conductors are in the pathway significantly increases labor and risks jacket damage on pulled cables.

The 5417FO-WH fits cleanest in finished commercial interiors — retail, corporate office, and light-commercial security installs — where the raceway is visible and a mismatched or improvised corner fitting would be immediately obvious to the end client.
