B-LINE 1086 RTSC NK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the B-Line 1086 RTSC NK junction box be mounted outdoors?
Yes. The Eaton B-Line 1086 RTSC NK carries a NEMA 3R rating, so it is built for outdoor use where falling rain, sleet and external ice formation are the concern. It comes with a rain hood and plated screws for that service, and the shell is painted carbon steel in ANSI 61 grey. NEMA 3R is not a washdown or hosedown rating, so if the enclosure will see directed water spray you want a 4 or 4X box instead.
2) How does the 1086 RTSC NK mount, and do I have to drill the back?
Surface mounting, using embossed thru holes already formed in the back of the box. The embossing stands the box slightly off the mounting surface so water does not sit behind it. You supply the anchors or bolts to suit the wall, strut or pole you are fixing to.
3) Does this Eaton B-Line box come with knockouts for conduit?
No. The NK in 1086 RTSC NK means no knockouts, so the box ships blank and you punch your own openings exactly where the run lands. That is the usual choice for field-routed conduit; if you want factory knockouts in set locations, order the knockout version of the same size box instead.
4) What size is the 1086 RTSC NK enclosure box?
Dimensionally the 1086 RTSC NK is 10 inches high, 8 inches wide and 6 inches deep, which is where the 1086 designation comes from. It weighs 6.7 lb empty, light enough for a single person to hold against a wall while starting the anchors.
5) How does the cover on the 1086 RTSC NK attach?
It is a flanged cover held on with screws, and the screws are plated for outdoor duty. Flanged means the cover laps over the body rather than sitting flush, which is what sheds water on a 3R box. There are no hinges or latches, so plan on a screwdriver every time the box is opened, and keep clearance in front of the cover.
6) Is the 1086 RTSC NK junction box UL listed, and how heavy a gauge is the steel?
The enclosure is built to UL 50, the standard covering enclosures for electrical equipment, and the body is 16 gauge carbon steel. It is made in the US.
7) Will this box match the other grey enclosures on my site?
The finish is painted ANSI 61 grey, the standard light grey used across most industrial control and junction enclosures, so it will read the same as other ANSI 61 gear on a wall or skid. Painted carbon steel can be field repainted if your facility uses a different colour standard.
