B-LINE 1818 SCS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the B-Line 1818 SCS junction box?
The Eaton B-Line 1818 SCS screw cover box measures 18 x 18 x 18 inches (height, width, length/depth) and weighs 5.072 lb. It's built from 16 gauge galvanized steel with an ANSI 61 gray painted finish.
2) Can a Type 1 screw cover box like the B-Line 1818 SCS be used outdoors or in a wet location?
No. Type 1 enclosures are indoor-only, general purpose protection against falling dirt, with no gasketing or rain rating. The 1818 SCS is a Type 1 screw cover box for indoor surface mounting. For outdoor or washdown work you need a Type 3R, 4 or 4X enclosure instead.
3) How is the cover attached on the B-Line 1818 SCS, and can one person get it off in the field?
The cover is secured to the body with plated pan head combo screws, slotted cover screws around the perimeter. Combo heads take either a flat blade or a Phillips, so a screwdriver off your belt opens it. Screw cover boxes are removed as a full panel, so on an 18 x 18 box plan for a second set of hands if you are working overhead.
4) Is the B-Line 1818 SCS box approved for use in Canada?
It's built to CSA C22.2, so it carries the Canadian standard for enclosures. That matters for inspectors on Canadian projects and for firms standardizing one part number across US and Canadian sites.
5) Is the B-Line 1818 SCS meant for a junction box, a pull box, or both?
Both. It's catalogued for use as a wiring box, junction box and pull box. At 18 x 18 x 18 inches the depth gives you real bending room for large conductors, which is why it gets specified as a pull box as often as a splice point.
6) Does the B-Line 1818 SCS come with knockouts or do I drill my own?
The 1818 SCS is supplied as a blank Type 1 screw cover enclosure in 16 gauge galvanized steel. Conduit entries are field-punched where your runs land, so budget a hole punch or step bit for the sizes you need, plus connectors and locknuts, which are not part of the box.
7) Does this B-Line box mount flush in a wall or on the surface?
Surface mount only. The 1818 SCS hangs on the face of a wall or structure, not recessed into finished drywall. If the spec calls for a flush or recessed installation you need a flush-cover pull box built for that, not a screw cover surface box.
8) Will the ANSI 61 gray finish on this B-Line box match the other enclosures already on my wall?
ANSI 61 gray is the standard light gray used across most industrial panels and enclosures, so the 1818 SCS will read as a match alongside typical switchgear and control enclosures. It's a painted finish over galvanized steel, and it takes field touch-up paint if the box gets scuffed during install.
