Legrand Wiremold B-9-10-11 Metal Raceway for Extending Power, 500 Series, Accessory Pack with Mounting Clips, Straps, and Fittings, Ivory (1 Pack)

I got it installed, but it took lots of improvising. The item descriptions, like most in Amazon, are piss poor. Deep box? Well how about telling us just how deep it is. That's OK. I'll just order two or three different sizes and return the extra ones at no cost to me. Wiremold's images and videos don't come close to showing all possible conponents nor situations. 500 series and 700 series? But they don't tell you which one you are buying. What incompetence. Use my strategy, just order a bunch of things that you might use then return all the things you don't at their expense. Amazon, wise up.

Quality is very good, but prices are high IMO although I believe contractors get discounts on large quantity orders from Electrical supply warehouses (not 100% sure on that one)Knocking off one star because I can't believe Legrand/wiremold is too cheap to the provide the critically needed greenie (cost is a couple cents in bulk for contractors & manufactures). I wonder how many DIY's have rigged up some potentially unsafe grounding alternative (i.e. not used a green grounding screw in extension box) when doing a small job. Knocking off additional star for high cost.---update----Looks like many/most of their items (including the actual V500/700 raceway) are covered under current patents (reference uspto.gov database). I imagine that accounts for the high price.

I had a situation under the counter in my kitchen where an under counter light had used wiring coming right out of the wall, using wire nuts to connect to the cut off power cord for a light bar. I really didn't like the situation, even though it had been there for years. Thankfully, the entire circuit is using a GFCI breaker so I wasn't so much worried about shock hazard as I was the fact that it wasn't done properly and was ugly. I ended up deciding to remove the mixed bag of junky under counter lighting that didn't properly illuminate all areas under my counters, and in the process, I decided to wire in a properly mounted surface mount outlet. I got this for that purpose and am exceptionally happy with it. It uses a base to mount to the wall (or under counter in this case). The box portion of the housing mounts to the base and has knock outs at multiple spots to allow you to fit surface mount conduit for running your wires properly. The outlet mounts to the completed box, then accepts a standard outlet cover. The white outlet cover provided is nice and thick and looks very nice. The whole assembly is very heavy steel construction that looks like it's been electroplated or painted in some manner maybe with a bake on enamel paint. The paint was hard and didn't deform or scratch when I used my thumb nail to try to scratch it. The outlet is a standard contractor quality heavy duty outlet with 2 screws on each side, and it's labeled as to which color wire should go to each side. All screws were provided except the ones to mount the plate to the wall (or under counter). Everything was really, really high quality.If you have a need for a surface mount application for an outlet, then you'll like this. It works well, is easy to use, is sturdy, and has a good price. Not much more to say about it.

This was my husband's second Wiremold project, the first being a straight run of about 6 feet to add a double receptacle in our den. This project was adding a closet light because he didn't have access for snaking the line in the wall and ceiling. He had to use right angle channels, a switch box, fan box, outlet box and raceways. It took him about 4 hours for the whole project. This is not for a beginner DIYer. It takes at minimum a hacksaw, wire pliers, hand drill, pencil, measuring tape, circuit tester and wiring knowledge. There are no screws or wall anchors, so you will have to supply them.

Most of the time I prefer to install everything inside the walls, but sometimes it just isn't worth the trouble. I wanted to run power to my TV, which is wall mounted, but the closest outlet was a couple feet to the side. Running the power horizontally through the wall would have required cutting out a chunk of drywall to drill through the studs. With the Wiremold / Legrand metal raceway, I was able to take the existing outlet box, mount a starter box over it, run raceway a couple feet over the wall, and then use another starter box to bring power back into the wall. At that point running a new outlet higher on the wall in the same stud space is relatively straightforward without having to make unnecessary drywall cuts.The Wiremold / Legrand system works well. The metal raceway has a more substantial feel to it than the plastic parts and is still paintable. Be a bit careful though - some of the edges of parts like the mounting plate can be a bit sharp. I walked away from this project with a few nicks. Also, the way the raceway connects to the boxes can require a bit of work to connect. I had to tweak the little tabs a bit with pliers to get them to slide in easier. I definitely wouldn't hesitate to use this again for a similar project.One other minor note: no fault of Wiremold / Legrand, but my raceway box was delivered bent like a boomerang. I ended up returning that to Amazon and just buying a replacement at the local hardware store. Props to FedEx for leaving it that way on the porch - my wife and I both had a good laugh.

So really this review is for the entire Wiremold 700 system. I purchased quite a few of the products. I was able to install without great difficulty, the biggest issue being the attachment to plaster walls, the issue being all mine not the product. The product is advertised for 12 and 14 gauge and that is where the issue lies. I found fishing 12 gauge wire very difficult, and when trying to wire an outlet with 12 gauge wire, the shallow box was very crowded and even more so when ganging outlets in a row there was almost no room for the 6 wires. Instructions are sparse but if you are experienced with wiring it is not too difficult. Another issue is some of the product is priced very high for the value, or only available in bundles which leave you with surplus parts.

Home Depot didn't carry the correct flat elbows - only the ivory ones which fit 500 raceways. these fit the 700 raceways. perfect, but price was high with free shipping.

Works great easy to install and you cannot see it under the cupboards. I painted mine to match.

Works as expected. I do wish they sell the pieces separately as needed thou. I only needed 4 of the pieces in the package.

A much better solution than what I first thought up of! More compact and a whole lot less intrusive. :) This was a good find solution and fit my budget. :) Easy installation.

Easy to fit, solid and looks good!
