B-LINE 1084-12CHQRC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What NEMA rating does the Eaton B-Line 1084-12CHQRC JIC enclosure carry, and where can it be used?
It's a NEMA 12 enclosure. That means it's built for indoor use against dust, falling dirt and dripping non-corrosive liquids, which is the usual choice for plant floor control panels and machine-side junction boxes. It is not a washdown or outdoor box, so if the location sees hose-down or weather you want a NEMA 4 or 4X instead. Sealing comes from a seamless poured in-place gasket around the hinged cover.
2) What are the actual box dimensions of the B-Line 1084-12CHQRC enclosure?
10 inches high, 8 inches wide and 4 inches deep, weighing 6.7 lb. The 4 inch depth is the number to check first: with a back panel installed you lose some of that, so deep contactors or DIN rail stacks with tall breakers can crowd it. For a small starter, a few relays or a terminal block landing point it's fine.
3) Can I mount this B-Line JIC enclosure flat to a wall without drilling the back of the box?
Yes. The 1084-12CHQRC ships with external mounting feet, so the fasteners go through brackets outside the sealed area rather than through the back wall. That keeps the NEMA 12 gasket seal intact, which drilling the enclosure body would compromise. It's a wall mount design, single small door.
4) Is this enclosure listed for use in an industrial control panel build?
It carries UL 508A, the standard for industrial control panels, so it's acceptable as the enclosure in a UL 508A panel shop build. That's what a machine builder or panel fabricator needs to see before they wire it up.
5) Is the Eaton B-Line 1084-12CHQRC steel or stainless?
Carbon steel, painted. That's the standard choice for dry indoor industrial areas. If the panel is going somewhere with corrosive chemicals, food processing washdown or salt exposure, carbon steel is the wrong material and you should be looking at a stainless 304 or 316 NEMA 4X box instead.
6) Does this 10x8x4 B-Line enclosure come with a back panel?
The 1084-12CHQRC is described as a JIC panel enclosure with a hinged cover, external mounting feet and poured gasket. Back panels for JIC style boxes are typically ordered as a separate item sized to the enclosure, so plan on specifying one along with any DIN rail, terminal kit or ground stud you need for the build.
7) Is the B-Line 1084-12CHQRC supplied with knockouts?
JIC style NEMA 12 enclosures like this one are supplied without knockouts, since punching holes at the factory would break the gasketed seal the NEMA 12 rating depends on. You drill or punch the conduit entries you need on site and seal them with gasketed hubs or sealing locknuts to keep the rating.
8) What's the difference between a hinged cover enclosure like this and a screw cover box?
The hinged cover on the 1084-12CHQRC stays attached when you open it, so a tech servicing a live panel isn't juggling a loose lid and a handful of screws on a ladder. Screw cover boxes are cheaper and fine for a junction point you open once a year. For anything with controls inside that gets accessed for troubleshooting, the hinged cover is the one you want.
9) How do I order the exact same box again for a matching panel?
Order by Eaton B-Line part number 1084-12CHQRC. The number reads the size straight off: 10 by 8 by 4 inches, NEMA 12, hinged cover with quarter turn latching.
