B-LINE AW4242P – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line AW4242P panel fit a 42 x 42 inch enclosure?
Yes. The AW4242P is built for 42 inch by 42 inch enclosures, which is why the panel itself measures 38 inches by 38.875 inches rather than the full box size. It mounts inside the back of the box, so the panel is deliberately smaller than the cabinet opening.
2) Is this panel rated for outdoor or washdown use?
No. The AW4242P is a NEMA 1 panel, which is indoor, general purpose only. NEMA 1 gives no rating against water, dust, oil, or corrosive atmospheres. For a wet, outdoor, or hosedown location you need to move to a NEMA 3R, 4, or 4X enclosure and panel combination, not this one.
3) Is the AW4242P a flanged panel or a flat back panel?
It is a NEMA flanged panel, meaning the edges are formed rather than left flat. The flange adds rigidity across a panel this large and sets the standoff from the enclosure back wall. If your gear layout assumes a flat sheet sitting directly on the mounting studs, check the flange depth against your component clearances.
4) Is the B-Line AW4242P UL Listed for use in a control panel build?
The panel carries a UL Listed marking. That covers the panel component itself; the listing of your finished assembly still depends on the enclosure, the components you install, and the panel shop's own certification.
5) What are the exact dimensions of the B-Line AW4242P mounting panel?
The usable steel measures 38 inches by 38.875 inches. Lay your component footprints and wireway out against those numbers, not against the 42 inch enclosure size, since the panel is inset from the box.
6) Why is the white powder coat on this panel worth having instead of bare steel?
White powder coat on the AW4242P reflects light inside the cabinet, so wire labels and terminal markings are readable when a tech opens the door with a flashlight. It also gives the steel a finished, non-rusting surface for indoor NEMA 1 service. Note the coating is not an electrical ground path, so bond the panel through its mounting hardware or a dedicated ground stud.
7) What is the part number to order this B-Line 42 x 42 flanged panel?
Eaton B-Line model AW4242P. That is the manufacturer part number to quote for the white powder coated 12 gauge steel flanged panel sized to 42 inch by 42 inch enclosures.
