B-LINE 101045 L SIDE – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size wireway does the B-Line 101045 L SIDE elbow fit?
The 101045 L SIDE is built for 10 x 10 wireway runs. Its stated height is 10 inches and length/depth is 10 inches, with an overall width of 10.457 inches, so it mates to a 10 by 10 inch lay-in trough. It will not couple to 4 x 4, 6 x 6 or 8 x 8 wireway.
2) Is the 101045 L SIDE a 90 degree elbow that turns left, and does handing matter?
It does matter. The 101045 L SIDE is a 90 degree side-opening elbow, and the L designation is the left-hand side turn. Order the right-hand version if your run breaks the other direction, because a side elbow cannot be flipped to change the direction of the turn once the cover opening has to face out for lay-in wiring.
3) Is this B-Line elbow UL Listed, and is it rated for outdoor use?
UL Listed, with a NEMA Type 1 degree of protection. Type 1 is indoor, general-purpose enclosure protection only, so keep this elbow in dry indoor locations. For wet, damp, or outdoor runs you need a Type 3R or Type 4 rated raintight wireway and matching fittings instead.
4) Can I use a side elbow instead of a flat elbow on a horizontal wireway run?
A side-opening 90 degree elbow like the 101045 L SIDE is the one you want when the trough turns in the horizontal plane, with the removable cover on the side so conductors can still be laid in rather than pulled. Use a flat or top-opening 90 elbow when the run turns up or down and the access panel needs to face the front. Pick the elbow whose opening lands where you can actually reach it after the run is mounted.
5) What part number should I order for a left side 90 degree wireway elbow?
Order Eaton B-Line 101045 L SIDE. That is the manufacturer part number for the 10 x 10 galvanized steel, 90 degree side-opening elbow, and there is a single configuration, so no finish or size suffix is added.
6) Do connectors or hardware come with the 101045 elbow?
Treat the 101045 L SIDE as the elbow body and cover only. Wireway connectors, closure plates, hangers, and any grounding hardware for the turn are separate line items in the B-Line wireway accessory range, so add them to the order along with the straight trough lengths for the run.
7) What is the 101045 L SIDE elbow made of, and will it hold paint or match existing galvanized wireway?
Galvanized steel. It matches the standard galvanized finish used on B-Line lay-in wireway body and cover sections, so a retrofit into an existing galvanized run won't look mismatched. Galvanized can be field painted if the surface is properly prepped and primed for zinc.
8) How much does the B-Line 101045 L SIDE elbow weigh for overhead hanging?
5.782 pounds. Light enough that the hanger spacing on a 10 x 10 trough run generally governs rather than the fitting itself, but the elbow still needs its own support at the turn since the trough sections cannot cantilever off it.
