Installing WireTracks Along Outside Corners

When installing WireTracks along outside corners, you follow the same principles as a regular installation. However, you must cut the WireTracks channel at a 45-degree angle to fit the corner.

To install WireTracks along outside corners, follow these steps:

1. Make sure you are wearing your safety goggles.

2. Cut the WireTracks NC wiring channel to fit into the corner. Using the miter box, cut each edge that will make up the corner at a 45-degree angle.

3. Install the WireTracks NC wiring channels along the base of the wall using the enclosed screws. Make sure to reinforce it next to the connecting points.
Important: Make sure to leave enough space under the channel for the flooring material that will be installed.
Note: You can also use standard WireTracks wiring channels, but installing the wallboard will be more complicated.

4. Install the wallboard above the WireTracks NC wiring channel, using the wallboard shelf to support the wallboard. If you are using standard WireTracks wiring channels, install screws about 1/4" above the WireTracks in each stud. Then, use the screws to support the wallboard.

5. Follow normal procedures for taping, texturing, and painting the walls.

6. Install the WireTracks wiring channel cover.

7. Cut the molding to fit the corner.

8. Apply glue to the wiring channel cover.

9. Attach the molding to the wiring channel cover. Make sure not to glue the two pieces of molding together.

10. Wait until the glue is well adhered and remove the wiring channel cover/baseboard assembly.

11. Use the provided screws to attach the cover to the baseboard molding.

12. Reinstall the wiring channel cover.

Bonus: To simplify painting, remove the wiring channel cover/baseboard assembly and paint it separately.
