B-LINE 16146-4XSS6CHC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the B-Line 16146-4XSS6CHC enclosure be used in a washdown or coastal environment?
It's a Type 4X enclosure built from 316 stainless steel, so it's rated against hose-directed water and corrosion. 316 is the marine and chemical grade, which is why this one gets specified for coastal sites, food and beverage washdown areas, and wastewater plants rather than a painted steel box.
2) What are the outside dimensions of the 16146-4XSS6CHC JIC enclosure?
16 inches high by 14 inches wide with a 6 inch depth, which is the 16x14x6 the catalog number reads out. It's a small single door style box, so plan panel layout inside that 6 inch depth before committing.
3) Does this Eaton B-Line JIC enclosure come with a back panel?
The box has panel mounting provisions built in, but the subpanel itself is a separate order. Budget for a back panel and its mounting hardware if you need one for your 16x14x6 layout.
4) How does the 16146-4XSS6CHC mount, and does it sit flush to the wall?
Wall mount by way of external mounting feet, so the body stands off the wall rather than sitting flush. That standoff is deliberate on a 4X box, it lets water drain behind the enclosure instead of pooling against the back. Allow for the feet in your clearance when laying out the wall.
5) Does the 16146-4XSS6CHC come with knockouts for conduit?
No. JIC style 4X enclosures ship with solid, unpunched walls so the Type 4X seal is intact out of the box. Any conduit entry is drilled or punched on site and has to be closed with watertight hub fittings, otherwise you lose the rating you paid for.
6) How does the door open and seal on this B-Line stainless JIC box?
Hinged cover on a continuous piano hinge, clamped shut with stainless steel door clamps. The clamps pull the gasket down evenly around the perimeter, which is what holds the 4X seal, and the full-length hinge keeps a 16 inch door from racking over time.
7) What gauge is the steel on the 16146-4XSS6CHC, and how much does it weigh?
16 gauge 316 stainless throughout, and the enclosure weighs 15.7 lb empty. That weight matters for anchor selection, a filled panel on a stud wall needs blocking or toggles rated well past the bare box.
8) Is the B-Line 16146-4XSS6CHC UL listed, and where is it made?
It carries UL 50, the standard covering enclosures for electrical equipment, and it is made in the US. That combination is what most government, healthcare, and institutional specs are looking for on a panel enclosure submittal.
9) What does the finish look like, and can it be painted or labeled?
The stainless is supplied in a #4 brushed finish, the standard directional satin grain. It is left bare rather than powder coated, so plan on engraved or adhesive nameplates for panel identification instead of stenciling onto paint.
