B-LINE 24168 RTSC NK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the B-Line 24168 RTSC NK junction box be mounted outdoors?
Yes. The 24168 RTSC NK is a NEMA Type 3R enclosure, so it is built for outdoor use against falling rain, sleet and snow. It ships with a rain hood over the cover seam and plated screws to resist corrosion at the fasteners. Note that 3R is a rain-tight rating, not a washdown or hosedown rating, so it is not intended for direct pressure spray.
2) What are the inside dimensions of the 24168 RTSC NK enclosure?
The box is 24 inches high, 16 inches wide and 8 inches deep, which is what the 24168 in the part number refers to. That 8 inch depth is what gives you room for wire bending space and gutter runs behind a subplate or terminal strip.
3) Does this B-Line junction box come with knockouts or conduit holes?
No. The NK in 24168 RTSC NK means no knockouts, so the body and cover come blank. You punch or drill your own conduit openings where the run needs them. If you want factory conduit entries, you need a knockout version instead.
4) How does the cover attach, and can I get into it without tools?
It is a screw cover, not a hinged door or latched cover, so you need a driver every time you open it. The cover is flanged and overlaps the box body, which is what keeps water out on a 3R install. For panels you open often, a hinged-door enclosure is the better choice.
5) How is this enclosure mounted to a wall or strut?
Surface mount, using embossed thru holes in the back of the box. Because the holes are embossed, the mounting hardware seats against a raised boss instead of the flat panel, which keeps the 3R integrity at the fastener. Mounting screws or strut hardware are not part of the box, so pick those to suit the substrate.
6) What gauge steel is the 24168 RTSC NK, and what finish does it come in?
The body is 16 gauge carbon steel, painted ANSI 61 grey, which is the standard industrial control equipment grey so it matches most existing panels and gear on a plant wall. Steel construction means it should be touched up at any field-punched conduit opening to keep corrosion off the cut edge.
7) Is this B-Line enclosure UL listed, and where is it made?
It carries UL 50, the standard covering enclosures for electrical equipment, which is the listing an inspector or spec writer looks for on a junction box. It is made in the US, which matters on jobs with domestic sourcing requirements.
