Middle Atlantic NM TEE 2800 Ivory - 2815

Middle Atlantic 2815 Non-Metallic Raceway Tee Fitting

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 2815 is a non-metallic tee fitting designed specifically for the Middle Atlantic 2800 Series raceway system. If you're branching a cable run at a 90-degree junction — splitting a trunk run to feed a device drop or lateral run — this is the mechanical piece that makes that junction clean and code-friendly. Sold individually (one fitting per pack), the 2815 is purpose-built for the 2800 Series and should be specified wherever your raceway layout requires a tee branch rather than a straight continuation.

The fitting is constructed from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), carries TAA compliance for government and federally funded deployments, and ships in ivory to match the standard 2800 Series finish. If you're planning a cable management layout in a commercial environment where raceway aesthetics matter — lobbies, corridors, open office floors — matching fittings matter as much as the duct runs themselves.

Key Features

• 2800 Series Compatibility: The 2815 is engineered to mate with Middle Atlantic's 2800 Series raceway duct. Mixing fittings from outside the 2800 family risks gaps, misaligned channels, and covers that won't seat — use the matched fitting to keep the run tight and the cover flush.
• PVC Construction: Polyvinyl chloride is the right material for interior cable management — lightweight, electrically non-conductive, and resistant to the minor physical impacts common in occupied spaces. It won't corrode, doesn't require grounding continuity the way metallic raceway does, and is straightforward to cut on-site if trimming is needed.
• Maximum Cable Diameter of 3.2 cm: The tee channel is sized for cables up to 3.2 cm in diameter. For most structured cabling and low-voltage security runs — Cat6, coax, 18/2 or 22/4 control cable — this is comfortably accommodating. Know your bundle diameter before specifying; larger consolidated cable bundles may require a wider duct series.
• TAA Compliant: The 2815 carries Trade Agreements Act compliance, which matters for government facility projects, GSA schedules, and any federally funded installation. Specifying TAA-compliant raceway components from the start avoids substitution surprises at the submittal review stage.
• Ivory Finish: Ships in ivory, consistent with the standard 2800 Series color family. In commercial interiors where surface-mounted raceway is visible — retail environments, healthcare corridors, educational facilities — color consistency across fittings and duct sections is a practical specification consideration, not just an aesthetic one.
• Single-Unit Pack Quantity: Sold as one fitting per pack, giving you precise quantity control for your material takeoff. Order exactly what your tee-junction count requires without excess.
• Universal Purpose Classification: Rated for universal use within the 2800 Series application scope — low-voltage data, voice, and control cable routing in interior commercial environments.

Integration and Compatibility

The 2815 is a direct mechanical component of the 2800 Series raceway system. It functions as the tee branch fitting within that system's family of straight sections, elbows, couplings, and end caps. When planning a raceway layout, map your tee junction locations in the design phase so your material list reflects the correct fitting types — tee fittings like the 2815 are distinct SKUs from inside corners, outside corners, and flat elbows within the same series.

For security and AV integrators routing camera cable, access control wiring, or structured data cabling in surface-mount applications, this fitting slots into a complete cable management plan alongside compatible 2800 Series duct lengths and complementary fittings. If your project also involves power distribution in the same raceway run, verify separation requirements per NEC Article 800 before consolidating power and low-voltage in a shared duct.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Middle Atlantic 2815 TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The 2815 is TAA compliant, making it suitable for government facilities, GSA schedule projects, and federally funded installations.

Q: What raceway series is the 2815 compatible with?

A: The 2815 is designed specifically for the Middle Atlantic 2800 Series raceway system. It is not cross-compatible with other raceway series.

Q: What is the maximum cable diameter the 2815 tee fitting accommodates?

A: The 2815 supports cables up to 3.2 cm in diameter. Verify your cable bundle diameter before specifying, especially for consolidated multi-cable runs.

Q: What material is the 2815 made from?

A: The fitting is constructed from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) — a non-conductive, corrosion-resistant material suited for interior cable management applications.

Q: How many fittings are included per order?

A: The 2815 is sold as one fitting per pack. Order the exact quantity your layout requires based on your tee-junction count.

Q: What color is the 2815?

A: The 2815 ships in ivory, matching the standard finish of the 2800 Series raceway duct and complementary fittings.

When I'm reviewing a surface-mount raceway layout for a commercial security or AV deployment, the tee fitting is one of those components that gets underspecified until it causes a problem at rough-in. The Middle Atlantic 2815 is the correct tee fitting for the 2800 Series — not a generic substitute — and the 3.2 cm maximum cable diameter is the spec to validate against your bundle count before the material order goes out.

Technical Highlights:

• 3.2 cm Max Cable Diameter: Sized for standard low-voltage runs — Cat6, RG59 coax, 22/4 control cable — but a dense bundle of security cables can close in on that limit faster than you expect. Calculate your bundle OD in the design phase, not at the wall.
• PVC Construction: Non-conductive and corrosion-resistant. In surface-mount interior applications, you're not grounding the raceway run, so PVC is the right call — eliminates any inadvertent ground path issues through the cable management system.
• TAA Compliance: For government and institutional projects on GSA or cooperative purchasing schedules, TAA compliance on every component — including fittings — needs to be documentable at submittal. The 2815 covers that box for the 2800 Series tee junction.

Deployment Considerations:

• The 2815 is series-specific — it mates with the 2800 Series only. Confirm your duct series before ordering; a fitting from a different Middle Atlantic series will not seat correctly.
• Ivory is the only available finish for the 2815. If your installation surface requires a different color match, plan the raceway finish selection at the design stage, not after materials are on-site.

The 2815 is the right specification for a 2800 Series tee junction in TAA-required commercial environments — government offices, public-sector security installs, and educational facilities where procurement compliance is part of the submittal package.
