B-LINE 864-12CHSC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What NEMA rating does the Eaton B-Line 864-12CHSC JIC enclosure carry, and where can I use it?
It's a NEMA 12 enclosure, built for indoor use where dripping water, dust, and falling dirt are the concern. An oil-resistant gasket seals the hinged cover, which is why these end up on machine tool and shop floor control panels. NEMA 12 is not a washdown or outdoor rating, so if the panel gets hosed down or sits outside, you need a 4 or 4X box instead.
2) What are the actual box dimensions of the B-Line 864-12CHSC enclosure?
8 inches high, 6 inches wide, and 4 inches deep, with a shipping weight of 4.6 lb. That 4 inch depth is what decides most jobs - check the depth of your breakers, relays, or terminal blocks plus wire bend space before you commit to it.
3) Can I mount a back panel inside this small B-Line JIC enclosure?
Yes, the 12CHSC box comes with panel mount provisions inside, so a subpanel can be fitted for mounting DIN rail, terminal blocks, or a small controller. The back panel itself is a separate order item, not part of the enclosure.
4) Does this enclosure mount flush to the wall or stand off it?
It stands off. The 864-12CHSC uses external mounting feet for wall mounting, so the fastener holes sit outside the sealed box and you never breach the NEMA 12 seal to hang it. That also leaves a small air gap behind the enclosure.
5) Is the cover on this B-Line enclosure hinged or a screw-on lift-off?
Hinged, on a continuous piano hinge, so the door stays with the box when you open it for service. Plated screws secure it closed. For a small control station you open regularly, that beats a bolt-on cover you have to set down somewhere.
6) What gauge steel is the B-Line 864-12CHSC made from and how is it finished?
Carbon steel at 16 gauge, painted in ANSI 61 grey - the standard industrial control panel color, so it matches the rest of the gear on a typical plant wall. Painted carbon steel is for dry indoor environments; corrosive or wet areas call for stainless or a coated 4X enclosure.
7) Does this B-Line box come with knockouts already punched?
No. JIC-style enclosures like the 12CHSC ship as a sealed box with no knockouts so the NEMA 12 rating is preserved until you drill. Any conduit hub or cord grip you add has to be a rated fitting, or the seal is void.
