Middle Atlantic NM TEE FO/CAT5 2800 FOG W - 2815FO-FW

Middle Atlantic 2815FO-FW UniDuct 2800 Series Radiused Tee Fitting

The Middle Atlantic 2815FO-FW is a fog white PVC tee fitting designed for use with the Middle Atlantic 2800 Series UniDuct cable management raceway system. If you're running fiber optic or CAT5 cabling through 2800 Series duct and need a branch point — splitting one duct run into two directions — this fitting handles the transition without forcing cable bends that exceed minimum bend radius. The 2815FO-FW (often searched as 2815FO FW) is a single-piece fitting sold individually.

Key Features

• 2800 Series Compatibility: Designed specifically for Middle Atlantic's 2800 Series UniDuct — it snaps into the existing raceway without modification, keeping the installation clean and consistent. Mixing fittings across series is a common field mistake; confirm your duct series before ordering.
• PVC Construction: Polyvinyl chloride gives this fitting adequate rigidity for above-ceiling or wall-surface runs while remaining light enough for one-person installation. PVC also won't corrode in humid mechanical rooms or above drop ceilings.
• Fog White Finish: Matches standard 2800 Series duct color for a uniform appearance in office and commercial interior deployments where exposed raceway is visible. If your installation uses an alternate duct color, verify color compatibility before ordering.
• Maximum Cable Diameter 3.2 cm: The tee channel accommodates cables up to 3.2 cm in diameter — sufficient for most fiber optic and CAT5/6 runs, but size the duct fill carefully if you're routing multiple cables or thick armored fiber through the same branch point.
• TAA Compliant: Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, making the 2815FO-FW eligible for use in U.S. federal government installations and GSA-scheduled projects where TAA compliance is mandated.
• Sold Individually (1 pc): Priced and shipped as a single fitting — order the quantity you need for your branch count rather than paying for a full box of fittings you won't use.

Integration and Compatibility

This fitting integrates exclusively with the Middle Atlantic 2800 Series UniDuct raceway. It is not cross-compatible with other Middle Atlantic duct series or third-party raceway products. When planning a run with multiple branch points, map your tee locations before cutting duct sections — repositioning tees after cable is pulled wastes time. Pair with 2800 Series straight sections, elbows, and cover accessories for a complete structured cable management solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the 2815FO-FW TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The 2815FO-FW is TAA compliant, making it eligible for use on U.S. federal government projects and GSA-scheduled contracts that require Trade Agreements Act conformance.

Q: What raceway series does the 2815FO-FW fit?

A: The 2815FO-FW is designed for Middle Atlantic's 2800 Series UniDuct only. It is not rated for cross-series use — confirm your installed duct is 2800 Series before ordering.

Q: What is the maximum cable diameter the 2815FO-FW supports?

A: The maximum cable diameter is 3.2 cm. Plan your cable fill accordingly when routing multiple fiber optic or CAT5/6 cables through the same branch.

Q: What color is the 2815FO-FW?

A: Fog White — matching the standard 2800 Series UniDuct color for a uniform appearance in commercial interior installations.

Q: How many fittings are included per order?

A: The 2815FO-FW is sold as a single fitting (1 pc per pack). Order the quantity you need based on your branch-point count.

Jerry Tildsen

The 2815FO-FW is the fitting most integrators forget to order until they're already on-site — the tee that lets you branch a 2800 Series UniDuct run without improvising with split conduit or zip ties. The TAA-compliant PVC construction and fog white color match the rest of the 2800 Series, so a visible raceway run in a government lobby or open-plan office stays consistent end to end.

Technical Highlights:

• 3.2 cm max cable diameter: Enough clearance for standard CAT5/6 or fiber optic drops, but if you're bundling multiple runs through one branch, check fill percentage before pulling — overfilling a tee creates friction that can damage fiber jackets.
• TAA Compliance: Required for federal and GSA-schedule work; the 2815FO-FW has it confirmed, so there's no qualification risk on government bids.
• PVC material: Dimensionally stable in the temperature ranges typical of above-ceiling mechanical spaces, and won't pit or corrode in humid environments the way metal fittings can over a 10-year install life.

Deployment Considerations:

• Map tee locations before pulling cable — once fiber is run through a 2800 Series duct, repositioning a tee means pulling back the cable and resectioning the duct.
• The 2815FO-FW is series-specific: it won't mate cleanly with fittings from other Middle Atlantic duct families. Verify the installed duct is 2800 Series, not 2700 or 3000 Series, before ordering.

Best fit for government facilities, corporate offices, and healthcare environments where above-ceiling or surface-mount raceway runs need TAA-compliant fittings and a clean fog white appearance throughout.
