              Q:Can this fit a 25ft power strip cord inside?

              Answer This Question

              A:  It is a fire hazard to permanently attach a 25ft power strip on the wall, its basically like an extension cord with multiple outlets. Better contact an electrician to run an additional outlet where you need it.

              by|Aug 22, 2019

                A:  Sorry it cannot. The Cordmate channel is just 5ft long. It worked perfectly to protect cords on my bathroom.

                by|Aug 22, 2019

                  A:  Depends on the gauge of the cord. I used it for a TV power cable 14g and it fit perfectly.

                    A:  Yes, that is precisely what I did, except I've only needed to cover about 3 ft. of it, the rest went under wall molding.

                        A:  No, this product is not meant for use with hardwired applications. For this purpose, we would recommend something like item NMW1. https://www.homedepot.com/p/5-ft-Non-Metallic-Raceway-Wire-Channel-White-NMW1/100038290

                        by|Aug 5, 2019

                          A:  As long the wire(s) you are using are small enough gauge to fit inside the track and snap it shut, it will work.

                          by|Aug 5, 2019

                            A:  I would not advise if using contractor grade ROMEX. The product description specifically says “Not for running line voltage wiring“

                              A:  No, it is not recommended to be used in the bathroom.

                                    A:  I've used a ratcheting PVC cutter to cut hundreds of these. Very clean and quick.

                                                A:  Line voltage means hardwiring an outlet or lamp. Using this product to cover a cord is its intended use.

                                                  A:  I beleive they are referring to that this cannot be used for inside the wall wire channelling.

                                                    A:  As I understand it, this product is intended to be used to hide a plug-in power cord. It is not intended to be used to cover wiring that is permanently wired into your home. It works perfectly for its intended use, but is probably not within building codes for permanent building wiring.

                                                      A:  Line voltage means wires that runs “TO” an outlet. Meaning the hot, neutral and ground wire cannot be installed using just this plastic wiremold replacing a conduit to power up an outlet. A lamp cord is ok, to hide and organize it then attach on the wall. I used this to hide a cable of my camera power supply.

                                                                                          A:  Yes it can as it is made of plastic. I would screw it to the surface and not use the peel and stick tape because most likely the tape will not hold up to the weather. Open it up, screw it to your surface, put your wire in and close it up.
