B-Line 24244 SCGV NK Eaton series Type 1 junction boxes

The Eaton B-Line 24244 SCGV NK measures 24 inches high by 24 inches wide with a 4 inch depth, which is what the 24244 in the model number refers to. Plan wall space for a 24 x 24 inch footprint plus clearance for the cover to come off, and note it weighs 33.8 lb empty, so it wants solid backing or Unistrut rather than drywall anchors alone.

No. Type 1 is an indoor enclosure rating, intended for general purpose indoor use where the box guards against incidental contact with the enclosed equipment and falling dirt. It is not a wet, dusty, or washdown rating. For outdoor mounting, rain, or hose-down cleaning you need a Type 3R, 4, or 4X enclosure instead. The 24244 SCGV NK is built to the Type 1 construction requirements of UL 50.

No. The NK suffix means no knockouts, so the box arrives with solid sides, back, and cover. You punch or hole-saw it on site wherever your conduit runs actually land, which is why electricians usually prefer NK on larger pull boxes. If you want factory holes you have to order a knockout version, and then you are committed to their pattern.

Depth is the thing to check before you commit. At 4 inches deep the 24244 SCGV NK has enough room for straight-through and angle pulls with ordinary trade sizes, but NEC pull box sizing is driven by your largest raceway: a straight pull needs eight times the largest conduit trade size in the direction of the run, and an angle or U pull needs six times that size plus the other raceway diameters between entries. The 24 inch dimension is what gives you that distance, not the 4 inch depth. Large conduit or bulky bonding bushings can also need more than 4 inches of back-to-cover clearance.

It ships as a screw-cover box. The SC in the catalog number is the screw cover, so the lid lifts off completely once the perimeter screws are out rather than swinging on a hinge. That is the usual choice for pull and junction boxes that get opened rarely; if you need frequent access without handling a loose 24 x 24 inch panel, specify a hinged-cover enclosure instead.

Read it in three pieces. The 24244 gives the dimensions: 24 inches by 24 inches by 4 inches deep. SC is the screw cover. NK is no knockouts, meaning solid walls you drill yourself. So you are ordering a 24 x 24 x 4 screw-cover Type 1 box with no factory openings.

Support it off structure, not sheet material. At 33.8 lb empty and 24 inches square, the box gets heavier once conduit, connectors, and conductors land on it, and the conduit runs themselves transfer load. Standard practice is lag or through-bolt into studs, masonry anchors into block, or a Unistrut/strut channel frame that lets you line the box up with the raceway centerline. Keep the cover face accessible, since a screw cover has to come fully off for access.
