B-LINE AF60CPS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the B-Line AF60CPS center post actually do inside a free-standing enclosure?
The AF60CPS is a center post for an Eaton B-Line free-standing enclosure. It mounts vertically inside the cabinet to give you an intermediate structural member for channel and panel mounting, so panels, mounting channel and subpanel sections can be fastened mid-width rather than only at the side walls. It is an accessory, not an enclosure, so it ships as the post only at a stated weight of 10 lb.
2) Is this center post rated for a NEMA 12 enclosure or an indoor Type 1 cabinet?
Both cases are covered. The AF60CPS carries a NEMA 12 degree of protection and is also listed for Type 1 and Type 3R use, so it can go into a dust-tight and drip-tight industrial cabinet or into a general-purpose indoor or rain-tight outdoor enclosure. It is UL Listed.
3) Does adding a center post to my enclosure affect the NEMA 12 rating?
No. The center post is specified for NEMA 12 service and is UL Listed, so it is intended to be installed in a dust-tight enclosure without compromising the enclosure's protection level. It mounts internally for channel and panel support and does not breach the enclosure skin.
4) What is the exact part number to order for the B-Line 60 inch center post?
Order Eaton B-Line part AF60CPS. That is the single model on the 60 inch center post, so there is no finish, hand, or size option to specify.
5) Do I need a center post or a full mounting panel for my free-standing enclosure?
Two different jobs. A center post like the AF60CPS is a structural upright for channel and panel mounting, used when you want to divide the cabinet width and pick up fasteners mid-span, typically to carry multiple narrower subpanels or vertical mounting channel. A full-height back panel is what you drill and mount devices directly to. Large or multi-bay builds usually use both: the post for structure, panels for device mounting.
6) Can one person handle installing this center post?
Yes. At 10 lb it is a one-person lift even at 60 inches long, which is why it goes in after the enclosure is set and squared rather than needing rigging.
