B-LINE 20168-4XFCHSC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the B-Line 20168-4XFCHSC enclosure be mounted outdoors or in a washdown area?
The 20168-4XFCHSC is a NEMA Type 4X enclosure, so it is built for wet, hose-down and corrosive environments rather than dry indoor use only. The fiberglass body and stainless steel screws are what make the 4X corrosion resistance practical in washdown food plants, water treatment and coastal or chemical exposure. It carries UL 50 certification.
2) What are the outside dimensions of the B-Line 20168 JIC panel enclosure?
It measures 22 inches high, 17.68 inches wide and 8.83 inches deep, and weighs 21 pounds. Those are the outside box dimensions, so allow for the external mounting feet and the hinged door swing when you lay out the wall space.
3) Will drilling conduit holes in this fiberglass enclosure void the NEMA 4X rating?
Not by itself. The 4X rating on the 20168-4XFCHSC holds as long as every penetration you cut is closed with a 4X rated fitting or hub and the door gasket seals. Come in from the bottom or the side where you can, keep the top face solid, and use stainless or non-metallic hardware to match the stainless screws already in the box so you do not introduce a rust point in a washdown area.
4) Does this Eaton B-Line enclosure mount flush to the wall or stand off it?
It mounts to a wall on external mounting feet, so the box stands off the surface and the mounting holes sit outside the sealed area. That keeps the 4X seal intact, since you never drill the back of the enclosure to hang it. Feet also leave an air gap behind the box, which helps on damp masonry.
5) Is the door on the 20168-4XFCHSC hinged or a screw-on cover?
Hinged. The 20168-4XFCHSC is a medium single door style enclosure with a hinged cover, so the door swings clear for servicing instead of coming off as a loose plate. Hinged is the usual choice where a tech opens the box regularly for controls work.
6) Does the B-Line 20168-4XFCHSC come with a back panel?
The 20168-4XFCHSC is sold as the enclosure itself, a medium single door fiberglass box with a hinged cover and stainless screws. A JIC style panel enclosure is normally fitted out with a separate sub-panel sized to the box, plus any din rail, so plan on ordering the back panel and internal mounting hardware alongside it.
7) What color is the B-Line 20168 fiberglass enclosure?
Grey, and it ships unfinished, meaning it is the raw molded fiberglass color rather than a painted coat. That is normal for fiberglass 4X boxes and is one less finish to chip or scratch in a wet area. It is made in the US.
