B-LINE F1S06X – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line F1S06X handle mechanism work on a NEMA 4X washdown enclosure?
Yes. The F1S06X operating handle mechanism is rated NEMA 4/4X, so it holds the enclosure's watertight and corrosion-resistant integrity when mounted through the door or side of a Series C enclosure. That makes it usable in washdown, outdoor, and chemical-exposure locations where a standard indoor handle would break the rating.
2) How long is the operating shaft on the F1S06X, and can it be cut down for a shorter enclosure?
The F1S06X ships with a 6 foot shaft. On tall enclosures that length covers the run from the breaker to a handle mounted near the top; on shorter enclosures the shaft is field cut to the actual breaker-to-handle distance, which is standard practice for through-the-door breaker operators. Measure from the breaker toggle to your intended handle centerline before cutting.
3) Does the F1S06X include the circuit breaker, or just the handle?
Just the operating mechanism. The F1S06X is an accessory handle mechanism for an Eaton molded case circuit breaker, comprising the external handle, shaft, and operating linkage. The breaker itself, and the enclosure it mounts in, are ordered separately.
4) What is the exact part number to order this Eaton breaker handle mechanism?
Order it as F1S06X, an Eaton B-Line Series C accessory. That is the manufacturer part number to quote; there are no finish or size options to specify on it.
5) Why use a through-the-door handle mechanism instead of just opening the enclosure to switch the breaker?
An external operating handle lets you switch and lock out the molded case breaker with the enclosure door closed, which keeps the NEMA 4/4X seal intact and keeps the technician outside the arc-flash boundary of an open panel. It is the normal approach on sealed industrial enclosures; direct access is only acceptable where opening the door does not compromise the environmental rating.
6) What are the shipping dimensions and weight of the F1S06X handle mechanism?
Listed at 20 x 7 x 2.5 inches and 20 pounds. The long dimension reflects the packaged shaft assembly, so allow for a long carton rather than a small parts box when you are staging material on site.
