B-LINE DK36SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line DK36SS drop shield fit a 30-inch wide enclosure?
No. The DK36SS drop shield kit is sized for enclosures 36 inches wide, and the shield itself measures 36 inches across. On a 30-inch box the shield would overhang the sides and the bolt pattern would not line up. You need the drop shield sized to your enclosure width.
2) What does a drop shield kit on an electrical enclosure actually do?
It is a bolt-on hood that mounts above the enclosure door so rain, hose-down water, and airborne dust shed away from the door seam instead of running down into it. The DK36SS is rated NEMA 4X and is used to protect from water and dust, which is why it shows up on wash-down areas, outdoor walls, and dusty process spaces.
3) Is the DK36SS shield stainless steel, and will it hold up outdoors or in a wash-down area?
Stainless steel construction, 14 gauge, which is why it pairs with NEMA 4X enclosures in corrosive, wet, and hose-down environments. Stainless also means it won't rust-streak a stainless or fiberglass box the way a painted carbon steel shield can.
4) Can I add the DK36SS drop shield to an enclosure already mounted on a wall?
Yes. It is a bolt-on accessory for wall-mounted enclosures, so it goes on after the box is hung, without pulling the enclosure off the wall. At 3.635 lb it is a one-person install.
5) Does adding a drop shield keep my enclosure UL Listed?
The DK36SS is itself UL Listed, so it is a recognized accessory rather than a shop-fabricated add-on. That matters to institutional and facility inspectors who will not accept a field-made hood over a rated enclosure.
6) How far does the DK36SS drop shield stick out from the enclosure?
The shield profile is 1.442 inches high with a 36 inch depth/length dimension and 36 inch width. Check that against any clearance above or beside the box, conduit entries, adjacent enclosures, or a walkway, before you drill.
7) What is the exact part number to order the 36 inch B-Line drop shield kit?
Order Eaton B-Line DK36SS. It is a single model with no finish or size options, so there is nothing else to specify once you've confirmed the enclosure is 36 inches wide.
