B-LINE 88 SCS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can a Type 1 enclosure like the 88 SCS be used outdoors or in a wet area?
No. Type 1 is an indoor enclosure, rated to protect personnel against incidental contact with the enclosed equipment and to keep out falling dirt. It carries no protection against rain, washdown, dust, or corrosive atmospheres. For outdoor or damp locations you need a Type 3R or Type 4 enclosure instead.
2) Does the B-Line 88 SCS meet NEMA requirements for a spec that calls for a NEMA 1 junction box?
Yes. The 88 SCS is a NEMA Type 1 screw cover junction box, so it satisfies a drawing or submittal calling for NEMA 1 indoor enclosure at 8 x 8 x 8. The manufacturer part number to put on the order is 88 SCS.
3) How does the cover attach on the B-Line 88 SCS junction box?
The cover is secured to the body with plated pan head combination screws, so you can drive them with either a flat blade or a Phillips. It is a screw cover, not a hinged or clamped door, which means you will be removing hardware every time you open the box. For enclosures you expect to access often, a hinged cover style is less work.
4) How is this B-Line junction box mounted, and how much does it weigh for anchor selection?
It is a surface mount box weighing 1.597 lb empty, light enough for ordinary drywall or masonry anchors on a wall, though you should size anchors for the conductors and any device weight you add inside. It is not designed to be flush or recessed into a finished wall.
5) Is the 88 SCS box steel, and will the paint hold up in an indoor mechanical room?
Body and cover are galvanized steel finished in ANSI 61 gray paint, the standard gray used on most commercial electrical gear, so it blends with panelboards and wireway already in the room. The galvanized base under the paint gives some margin against surface rust in a humid but dry-rated space.
6) What gauge steel is the 88 SCS built from?
16 gauge steel. That is the usual weight for a general purpose indoor pull or junction box this size and it is stiff enough that the cover will not oil-can when you snug the screws down.
7) Does the 88 SCS come with knockouts or do I have to punch my own openings?
The 88 SCS is supplied as a screw cover junction box with the cover and its mounting screws. Conduit entries are made in the field to suit your run, so plan on a hole saw or knockout punch sized to your connectors when you rough it in.
