B-LINE AF9018SP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What exactly comes with Eaton B-Line AF9018SP, a side panel or the center post too?
AF9018SP is a side panel and center post assembly for Eaton B-Line free standing enclosures, in stainless. Both parts come together under the one part number, so you are ordering the closing panel and the post that divides a multi-bay lineup, not just sheet metal.
2) Will the AF9018SP side panel keep my enclosure at a NEMA 12 rating?
Yes. The side panel and center post are rated NEMA 12, which is the dust-tight and drip-tight indoor rating, so fitting it to a NEMA 12 free standing enclosure keeps the lineup consistent with that rating. It is not a washdown or outdoor (NEMA 4X) part.
3) Does this Eaton B-Line panel carry any third-party approval for a Canadian job?
It is listed to CSA C22.2, so it can be used on work where a CSA-recognized enclosure component is called for.
4) What is the 6mm square security insert on this part for?
The Type 4 small security insert is a 6 mm square drive, so the panel is secured with a 6 mm square-socket key rather than a common screwdriver. That keeps casual access out of the side of the enclosure, and it means your techs need the matching square insert bit on the truck to remove the panel.
5) Do I need a center post if I am bolting two free standing enclosures side by side?
Yes, and that is what this assembly is for. When you bay two free standing enclosures together you need the center post to join and seal between them, plus a side panel to close the outer end of the run. AF9018SP supplies both in stainless.
6) Is this stainless panel suitable for a food plant washdown area?
No. The panel is stainless, but the protection rating is NEMA 12, which covers dust and dripping liquid, not directed hosedown. For washdown duty you want a 4X-rated stainless enclosure and matching 4X accessories instead.
