B-LINE 88-12FCP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the B-Line 88-12FCP closure plate actually used for?
It's a blank steel plate that closes off an unused 8 x 8 inch opening in a wireway or enclosure run, keeping the assembly sealed to the NEMA 12 rating. Eaton B-Line part number 88-12FCP. Use it where a wireway branch, fitting, or knockout section was removed or never used and you need the opening covered rather than left open to dust and dripping liquid.
2) Will the 88-12FCP fit an 8 x 8 wireway opening, and how big is the plate itself?
It's made for an 8 by 8 inch wireway or enclosure opening. The plate itself is larger than the opening, measuring 9.75 by 9.75 inches, so it overlaps the flange for the gasketed, bolted closure a NEMA 12 assembly needs. Material thickness is .067 inch steel. If your wireway is 6 x 6 or 4 x 4, this is the wrong size plate.
3) Is this closure plate rated for a dusty or washdown plant floor?
NEMA 12 is the rating carried, which covers indoor protection against falling dirt, circulating dust, lint, and dripping non-corrosive liquids. It is not a NEMA 4X washdown or outdoor rating. For hosedown or corrosive wet areas you want a 4 or 4X rated closure, not the 88-12FCP.
4) Is the B-Line 88-12FCP UL Listed for an inspected installation?
Yes, the closure plate is UL Listed, which is what an electrical inspector on a commercial or institutional job will want to see on a wireway closure component.
5) Do I need a closure plate or an end plate for the end of my wireway run?
A closure plate like the 88-12FCP covers an 8 x 8 opening in the body of a run or a fitting, keeping the enclosure sealed. An end plate (end cap) is what terminates the last section of wireway. They're different parts in the same size family, so order by the function: blanking an unused opening means a closure plate; finishing the run means an end plate.
6) How many models does the 88-12FCP closure plate come in?
One. It's a single configuration, Eaton B-Line model 88-12FCP in steel for 8 x 8 NEMA 12 wireway, with no finish or size options to select. Ordering is just a matter of quantity.
