B-LINE DK16SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a drip shield kit keep my NEMA 4X rating on a washdown enclosure?
The DK16SS is itself rated NEMA 4X and is stainless steel, so it is built for the same wet and corrosive duty as a 4X enclosure. It bolts on above the door to shed water and dust running down the face of the enclosure, which is the usual reason it gets specified in washdown, food processing, and outdoor installs.
2) Can I use a stainless steel drip shield on a fiberglass enclosure?
Yes. The DK16SS is a stainless steel bolt-on accessory catalogued for fiberglass enclosures, so mixing stainless hardware on a fiberglass box is the intended combination. The stainless construction is what lets it sit outdoors or in a corrosive area without rusting streaks down the enclosure face.
3) Is the DK16SS drip shield a bolt-on part or does it need welding?
It bolts on. The DK16SS is a bolt-on accessory for wall mounted enclosures, so it goes on with fasteners in the field rather than requiring any welding or enclosure modification beyond the mounting holes.
4) Does the DK16SS work on a pole or floor mounted enclosure?
The DK16SS is specified for wall mounted enclosures. For a free-standing or pole-mounted box, confirm the enclosure is a 16 inch wide wall-mount style before using this shield, since the mounting method it is built around is wall.
5) What part number do I order for a 16 inch B-Line drip shield?
Order Eaton B-Line DK16SS. The DK prefix is the drip shield kit, 16 is the enclosure width in inches, and SS is the stainless steel construction.
6) How heavy is a 16 inch stainless drip shield kit for a one-man install?
At 1.796 lb, the DK16SS is a one-hand part. A single electrician can hold it in position and start the fasteners without a helper or lifting gear.
7) What gauge material is the Eaton B-Line DK16SS drip shield made from?
14 gauge stainless steel. That is heavy enough to hold its shape under snow load or a hose-down without deflecting into the enclosure door.
