Middle Atlantic STL Flex Section Ivory - V5700F

Middle Atlantic V5700F STL Flex Section Ivory Raceway Fitting

Overview

The Middle Atlantic V5700F is an 18-inch flexible section fitting in ivory finish, designed for the 500 and 700 Series steel raceway systems. It bridges the gap — literally — where rigid raceway runs can't make the transition: offset walls, corners with irregular geometry, and field conditions that don't cooperate with fixed-angle fittings. When a straight section or standard elbow won't seat cleanly, the V5700F gives installers the articulation needed to maintain a continuous, enclosed cable pathway without resorting to exposed wiring or field-fabricated workarounds.

At 18 inches wide (45.7 cm) and just 0.75 inches deep (1.9 cm), the V5700F sits flush against wall surfaces, keeping the raceway profile tight and the finished installation looking intentional rather than improvised. The 1.63-inch (4.1 cm) height matches the 500/700 Series family profile, so the flex section integrates visually with adjacent straight and corner sections rather than standing out as a patch.

TAA compliance is confirmed for this SKU, which matters on government facilities, federal contracts, and education projects subject to the Trade Agreements Act. If your bid requires TAA-compliant materials throughout the cable management pathway, the V5700F checks that box without requiring a substitution or deviation.

Key Features

• 18-Inch Flexible Section (45.7 cm): The working length gives enough articulation to navigate non-standard wall offsets and irregular transitions that fixed elbows can't handle cleanly. Where a 90-degree fitting would leave a gap or require a custom fabricated adapter, the V5700F flexes to conform — keeping the cable pathway closed and the installation code-compliant.
• 0.75-Inch Profile Depth (1.9 cm): Shallow depth means the fitting sits close to the wall surface, minimizing protrusion into occupied corridors or work areas. In environments where ADA clearance or pedestrian traffic is a concern, a lower-profile raceway component reduces trip and contact hazards compared to deeper alternatives.
• 1.63-Inch Height (4.1 cm): Dimensioned to match the 500/700 Series raceway family, so the flex section integrates without visible height mismatches at joints. Consistent height across the run matters in finished commercial interiors where mismatched raceway sections read as an incomplete installation.
• Ivory Finish: Coordinates with the 500/700 Series ivory straight sections, elbows, and tees. Matching finish across all raceway components is the difference between a clean finished look acceptable to facility managers and a patchwork of mismatched hardware that generates callbacks.
• TAA Compliant: Verified compliant with the Trade Agreements Act, allowing use on federal, state, and education projects with TAA material requirements. No certificate of origin questions at bid time — the compliance is built in.
• Steel Construction (500/700 Series): Part of Middle Atlantic's steel raceway line, which provides the mechanical durability expected in commercial and institutional cable management applications — more resistant to impact and deformation than PVC alternatives in high-traffic areas.

Integration & Compatibility

The V5700F is part of Middle Atlantic's 500 and 700 Series steel raceway system. It is designed to work with straight sections, inside and outside corners, tees, couplings, and end caps within that family. When planning a raceway run, pair the V5700F with the appropriate straight sections and fixed-angle fittings for the majority of the route, reserving the flexible section for locations where geometry requires it. Because the 18-inch length and 1.63-inch height match the family profile, transitions between the flex section and adjacent rigid components should seat cleanly without step-downs or gap fillers.

For cable management in raceway and cord cover systems, the V5700F fits within a broader ecosystem of Middle Atlantic products including wire management panels, rack enclosures, and structured wiring solutions. Integrators specifying a complete cable management pathway for a commercial AV or security installation should verify that all selected components share the same series designation (500 or 700) to ensure dimensional compatibility at every junction. If your project also involves racks and enclosures, Middle Atlantic's broader product line covers the full pathway from the rack to the wall.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the V5700F TAA compliant?

A: Yes. TAA compliance is confirmed for the V5700F, making it suitable for use on federal, state, and education contracts that require Trade Agreements Act-compliant materials.

Q: What raceway series does the V5700F belong to?

A: The V5700F is part of Middle Atlantic's 500 and 700 Series steel raceway system. It is designed to integrate dimensionally with other components in that family, including straight sections, corners, and tees.

Q: What are the dimensions of the V5700F?

A: The V5700F measures 18 inches wide (45.7 cm), 1.63 inches tall (4.1 cm), and 0.75 inches deep (1.9 cm).

Q: What finish color is the V5700F?

A: The V5700F ships in ivory, matching the ivory finish available across the 500/700 Series raceway component family.

Q: Where is the V5700F typically used in an installation?

A: The V5700F is used where a rigid elbow or straight section can't make a clean transition — typically at wall offsets, irregular corners, or field conditions where fixed-angle fittings won't seat properly. The flexible section conforms to the geometry while keeping the cable pathway enclosed.

Q: Can the V5700F be used on government projects?

A: Yes. TAA compliance is verified for this SKU, so it meets the Trade Agreements Act material requirements common on federal and government-funded installations.

The V5700F comes up on jobs where someone has already committed to a 500/700 Series steel raceway run and then hits a wall condition — literally — that a fixed elbow can't resolve. At 18 inches of working length and a 0.75-inch depth profile, this flex section is what keeps the pathway enclosed and the bid spec intact without field fabrication.

Technical Highlights:

• 18-Inch Flexible Length: Enough articulation to navigate wall offsets and irregular geometry that fixed elbows can't handle — keeps the cable run enclosed without custom fabrication or exposed wiring.
• 0.75-Inch Depth Profile: Sits close to the wall surface; useful in corridors where protrusion into the pathway is a clearance or ADA concern.
• TAA Compliance: Verified for this SKU — no sourcing questions at bid submission on federal or government-funded projects.

Deployment Considerations:

• Verify series compatibility before ordering — the V5700F is dimensioned for the 500/700 Series family; mixing series on a single run can create step-downs at joints that require gap fillers or custom transitions.
• The ivory finish is a match to the 500/700 Series ivory components, but if the rest of your raceway run is white or another color, confirm finish codes before ordering — mismatched finish on a completed wall installation is a callback waiting to happen.

The V5700F earns its place on commercial interior AV and security installs where the raceway run has to navigate existing wall conditions in occupied buildings — schools, courthouses, healthcare facilities — where you can't modify the structure to suit the cable path and TAA compliance is a contract requirement, not an afterthought.
