B-LINE 18186 SCGV NK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the B-Line 18186 SCGV NK junction box?
The 18186 SCGV NK measures 18 inches high by 18 inches wide with a 6 inch depth, so you have a full 18 x 18 back panel area and 6 inches of gutter space for conductors and splices. It weighs 18.3 lb empty, which matters when you are picking anchors for a drywall or block wall.
2) Can this Eaton B-Line Type 1 junction box be used outdoors or in a wet area?
No. It is a NEMA Type 1 enclosure, which is indoor use only for protection against incidental contact and falling dirt. It gives no protection against rain, washdown, or dust. For an exterior wall, a loading dock, or anywhere subject to hose-down, you need a Type 3R, 4, or 4X enclosure instead.
3) Does this 18x18x6 junction box come with knockouts?
No, the NK in 18186 SCGV NK means no knockouts. The galvanized steel body and cover come blank, so you drill or punch your own conduit entries exactly where the run lands. If you want factory knockouts, order the knockout version of the same size box instead.
4) How does the cover attach on the B-Line 18186 SCGV NK, and can one person get it off alone?
It is a screw cover, not a hinged door, secured with plated screws. The cover has keyhole slots, so once you back the screws out part way you can lift and slide the cover off the partly loosened screws rather than juggling loose hardware and a cover at the top of a ladder.
5) How is this junction box mounted to the wall?
Surface mount, using thru holes in the back of the enclosure. There are no flanges or mounting feet involved, so your fasteners pass through the back and into the substrate. At 18.3 lb bare, plus conductors, use anchors rated for the wall type.
6) What gauge steel is the 18186 SCGV NK, and is it painted?
The body is 16 gauge galvanized steel, left unfinished in its natural grey. There is no paint or powder coat, so the galvanizing is the corrosion protection. If your spec calls for a painted enclosure to match finished space, this is not it.
7) Is this Eaton B-Line enclosure UL listed, and where is it made?
It is built to UL 50, the standard covering enclosures for electrical equipment, and it is made in the United States. That combination is usually what an institutional or government spec is asking for on the submittal.
8) Is the 18186 SCGV NK a pull box or does it hold equipment?
It is a medium single door screw cover enclosure typically used as a junction or pull box. With 6 inches of depth and no knockouts, it is set up for splicing, pulling, and terminating rather than housing deep mounted gear. There is no factory back panel called out, so if you intend to mount components inside, plan on a separate panel.
