B-LINE 25228C – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Eaton B-Line 25228C handle keep a NEMA 12 enclosure rated after I install it?
Yes. The 25228C lock, latch and handle is built to NEMA 12 protection, so it holds the dust-tight and drip-tight rating of the enclosure door it is mounted on. It is also UL Listed. Because it is a field mounting kit, the rating depends on cutting the door prep correctly and seating the gasketing that comes with the enclosure door.
2) Can the B-Line 25228C handle be added to an enclosure that is already installed, or is it factory-only?
It is a field mounting kit, so it can be added to an enclosure door in the shop or on the wall. You are cutting and prepping the door yourself, which is the trade-off against a factory-installed handle: the NEMA 12 rating only carries through if the prep and gasket seating are done right.
3) Does the B-Line 25228C handle lock, or do I need a separate padlock hasp?
The 25228C is a Type 12 handle with a clockwise lock built in, so the lock, latch and handle come as one assembly. No separate hasp is required for basic door security.
4) Is the B-Line 25228C suitable for an outdoor or washdown enclosure?
No. It is rated NEMA 12, which is an indoor rating. For an outdoor enclosure or a washdown area you want handle hardware rated NEMA 4 or 4X instead; installing a Type 12 handle on a 4X enclosure defeats the enclosure rating.
5) Which direction does the lock turn on the Eaton B-Line 25228C?
Clockwise. It is a CW lock version of the Type 12 console handle, which matters if you are standardizing a row of enclosures so every door in the lineup turns the same way for the technicians working them.
6) Is the B-Line 25228C handle steel or plastic, and will the finish hold up in a plant?
Steel, with a bright plated finish. That is a metal handle body rather than a molded one, and the plating is the corrosion coating for indoor industrial environments that the NEMA 12 rating covers, meaning dust, falling dirt and dripping non-corrosive liquids, not washdown or outdoor exposure.
7) What part number do I order for the B-Line bright plated Type 12 console handle?
Order Eaton B-Line 25228C. That is the single model covered by this lock, latch and handle kit, in bright plated steel.
