B-LINE 1612DF – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size enclosure does the B-Line 1612DF dead front panel fit?
The Eaton B-Line 1612DF is sized for a 16 x 12 inch Premier series enclosure. Its stated dimensions are 16 inches high by 12 inches wide, so it drops into a 16 x 12 box. If your enclosure back panel opening is a different size, you need the dead front cut for that size instead.
2) Is the B-Line 1612DF rated for washdown or outdoor wet locations?
The 1612DF carries a NEMA 4 degree of protection and is UL Listed. NEMA 4 covers hosedown and windblown rain, so it suits washdown areas and wet exterior locations. It is not a NEMA 4X part, so if you have corrosives or salt spray you want a 4X stainless or non-metallic assembly.
3) What does a dead front panel actually do inside an electrical enclosure?
A dead front panel is a barrier plate that mounts in front of the components in the enclosure so that when the door is opened, live terminals are covered and only the operators (pilot lights, switches, meters) come through cutouts. The 1612DF is the dead front for a 16 x 12 Premier series enclosure. It is not the mounting subpanel that components bolt to, that is a separate back panel.
4) Will a UL Listed dead front keep my control panel compliant for an inspection?
The 1612DF is UL Listed and rated NEMA 4, which is what an inspector looks for on the enclosure assembly. Listing applies to the panel itself, so keep the rest of the assembly (enclosure, gasket, operators) to the same NEMA 4 rating, since any unsealed cutout you make in the enclosure wall is what breaks the rating, not the dead front.
