B-LINE 884-12CHSC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Eaton B-Line 884-12CHSC enclosure rated for washdown or outdoor use?
No. The 884-12CHSC is a NEMA 12 enclosure, which covers indoor protection against dust, falling dirt and dripping non-corrosive liquids. It uses an oil-resistant gasket at the hinged cover, so it suits machine shops and indoor industrial areas, but it is not a NEMA 4 or 4X box and should not be used outdoors or where it will be hosed down.
2) What are the actual box dimensions of the B-Line 884-12CHSC JIC enclosure?
It measures 8 inches high, 8 inches wide and 4 inches deep. That 4 inch depth is the number to check first: with a back panel mounted inside, usable depth for breakers, relays or a small drive is less than 4 inches, so deep-bodied components may not clear the hinged door.
3) Does a back panel come with the 884-12CHSC enclosure?
The box is supplied with panel mounting provisions, meaning the studs or brackets are in place to accept a back panel. The panel itself is a separate order, so size and order the sub-panel for an 8 x 8 x 4 JIC body along with the enclosure if you need one.
4) Can I surface mount this B-Line enclosure on a wall without drilling through the box?
Yes. The 12CHSC comes with external mounting feet, so the fasteners go through the feet on the outside of the box rather than through the back wall. That keeps the NEMA 12 seal intact, which is the reason to use footed enclosures on gasketed boxes.
5) Will this enclosure pass inspection for an industrial control panel build?
The 884-12CHSC carries a UL 508A certification, which is the standard for industrial control panels, so it is acceptable as the enclosure for a 508A panel shop build. The door uses a continuous piano hinge and plated screws for closure.
6) What material and gauge is the B-Line 12CHSC enclosure, and what color is it?
Carbon steel at 16 gauge, painted ANSI 61 grey. That is the standard control-gear grey, so it will match other panels and gutters already on the wall in most plant and MRO settings. Being painted carbon steel rather than stainless, it is for dry indoor environments, not corrosive or chemical areas.
7) Does the 884-12CHSC have knockouts, or do I drill my own conduit holes?
JIC-style enclosures like the 12CHSC ship with blank walls so the installer locates conduit entries to suit the layout. Plan to punch your own holes and use gasketed or NEMA 12 rated hubs and fittings, otherwise the dust and drip rating of the box is lost at the penetration.
8) Is the cover on the B-Line 884-12CHSC hinged or a screw-on lift-off lid?
Hinged, on a continuous piano hinge, so the door swings clear and stays with the box during service instead of needing somewhere to set a loose cover. It closes on plated screws. Leave swing clearance on one side when you pick the mounting spot.
9) How heavy is this enclosure, and can one person hang it?
At 5.7 lb empty, the 8 x 8 x 4 box is a one-person hang. Weight climbs quickly once a back panel and components go in, so anchor the mounting feet into studs or use proper masonry anchors rather than drywall plugs.
10) Is the Eaton B-Line 884-12CHSC made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin is the United States, which matters where a job carries domestic sourcing requirements. Order it by manufacturer part number 884-12CHSC.
