B-LINE 747212-4XSS6FD – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the B-Line 747212-4XSS6FD enclosure rated for outdoor and washdown use?
The 747212-4XSS6FD carries a NEMA 4X rating and is UL 50 listed, so it is built for outdoor exposure, hose-down and corrosive environments. The 316 stainless steel body is what earns the 4X corrosion side of that rating, which is why it gets specified for coastal, wastewater, food processing and chemical sites rather than a painted steel box.
2) What are the outside dimensions of the 747212-4XSS6FD ground mounted enclosure?
It measures 74 inches high, 72 inches wide and 12 inches deep. That 12 inch depth is the number to check first: a 72 inch wide panel board or a deep breaker stack with rear wireway can overrun it, so confirm your device depth plus wire bending space fits inside 12 inches before committing.
3) How is this Eaton B-Line 6-foot stainless enclosure mounted, and does it need a concrete pad?
It is a ground mounted enclosure with ground mount legs, so it stands on its own base rather than hanging off a wall or strut. At 710.7 pounds empty, plan on a level concrete pad or equivalent foundation with anchors, and rigging to set it. It is not a wall mount box and should not be hung from one.
4) Does the 747212-4XSS6FD have single or double doors, and can it be padlocked?
Large double door style with hinged covers, which lets you work a full 72 inch wide backpan without swinging one huge leaf into a walkway. It has a padlock provision for lockout and site security, and stainless door clamps hold the gasket seal that supports the 4X rating.
5) Should I specify 316 stainless or painted steel for an outdoor control enclosure?
Go 316 stainless where chlorides or chemicals are in play: salt air, wastewater, food and beverage washdown, or de-icing spray. 316 is the alloy that holds up to that exposure, and it is what the 747212-4XSS6FD is built from in 12 gauge with a #4 brushed finish. For a dry indoor electrical room a painted steel NEMA 1 or 12 box is the cheaper and normal choice; stainless is money spent on corrosion you will not see.
6) Is a back panel included with the B-Line 747212-4XSS6FD enclosure?
What you are buying is the enclosure itself: 316 stainless body, hinged double doors with stainless clamps, and ground mount legs. Interior mounting panels, terminal kits, window kits and any hole cutting for conduit or devices are separate items you order to suit the build.
7) Will drilling conduit entries into this stainless enclosure void the NEMA 4X rating?
Only if the penetrations are not sealed to match. The 12 gauge 316 stainless shell and clamped hinged doors give you the 4X seal out of the box; any hole you add has to be closed with a 4X rated hub, fitting or gasketed plate or that area drops below the rating. Bottom entries through the ground mount base are the usual approach since the unit sits on legs.
8) Is the B-Line 747212-4XSS6FD made in the USA, for a Buy American spec?
Country of origin on the 747212-4XSS6FD is listed as US, which is the line a government or institutional procurement officer usually needs for a domestic preference submittal. The part number to put on the purchase order is 747212-4XSS6FD, model 4XSS6FD.
