B-LINE AW4842AP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size enclosure does the B-Line AW4842AP mounting panel fit?
The AW4842AP aluminum panel is made for 48 x 42 inch enclosures. The panel itself measures 44.87 in by 38.875 in, so it sits inside the enclosure on the mounting studs rather than spanning the full nominal opening. If your enclosure is a different nominal size, you need the panel built for that size instead.
2) Is this B-Line panel intended for a fiberglass enclosure or a steel one?
It's a flat panel for fiberglass enclosures. Eaton builds the AW panel line to the internal mounting pattern of its fiberglass boxes, so if you're kitting out a painted steel or stainless enclosure, order the panel matched to that enclosure family.
3) Why choose an aluminum back panel instead of galvanized or painted steel?
Aluminum is the material here, and it's the usual pick for corrosive or washdown locations where a fiberglass enclosure is already being used, plus it cuts the weight a crew has to hold up while bolting in. This panel runs 17.474 lb, which is a one-person lift at 48 x 42. The tradeoff: steel panels take self-tapping screws and weld studs more predictably, and steel is magnetic if you rely on magnetic mounts.
4) How much usable mounting area do I get on the AW4842AP for DIN rail and wireway?
Plan your layout around 44.87 in by 38.875 in of flat panel. Lay out DIN rail runs and wireway on that footprint before you drill, keeping clear of the corner mounting hardware, since the panel is flat with no formed flanges to eat into the area.
5) Does the B-Line AW4842AP mounting panel carry any agency certification?
It is listed to CSA C22.2, which matters if you're building control panels for a job in Canada or a spec that calls for CSA-recognized components.
6) What's the exact part number to order this 48 x 42 aluminum back panel?
Order Eaton B-Line AW4842AP. The AW prefix is the aluminum flat panel, and 4842 ties it to the 48 x 42 enclosure size.
7) Is this a flat panel or a swing-out/half panel?
Flat only. The AW4842AP is a single flat back panel that mounts to the rear of the enclosure. If you need a hinged swing-out panel or a partial half panel to add a second mounting plane inside the same 48 x 42 box, that's a different accessory.
