Abstract
Device for enclosing an end of a wiring duct raceway including an end panel, a covering section and an anti-rotation mechanism. The end panel is adapted to cover the end of the raceway. However, the covering section extends from a portion of the edge of the end panel and has a cross-section slightly larger than the cross-section of the raceway. In order to prevent disengagement from the raceway, the anti-rotation mechanism uses a latching mechanism, while depending from the covering section.
