B-LINE 1086 SCGV NK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the Eaton B-Line 1086 SCGV NK junction box?
The 1086 SCGV NK enclosure measures 10 inches height, 8 inches width, and 6 inches length/depth, and weighs 6.6 lb. The model designation follows the usual 10 x 8 x 6 box sizing, so it drops into the same wall space as any other 10x8x6 surface box.
2) Can I use this B-Line Type 1 junction box outdoors or in a wet area?
No. It is a NEMA Type 1 enclosure, which is indoor use only, for protection against incidental contact and falling dirt. It offers no rating against rain, washdown, dust, or corrosive atmospheres. For an outdoor or damp location you need a Type 3R or Type 4 enclosure instead.
3) Does the 1086 SCGV NK box come with knockouts, or do I have to punch my own conduit holes?
The NK in the model number means no knockouts. The body ships blind, so you drill or punch your own conduit openings exactly where your runs land. That is the reason to pick it over a pre-punched box: no unused openings to plug and no fighting a knockout pattern that does not match your layout.
4) Will the 1086 SCGV NK box meet an inspector's spec for a listed enclosure?
The enclosure is built to UL 50, the standard covering enclosures for electrical equipment, and carries a NEMA Type 1 rating. It is also made in the US, which matters on public and federally funded work with domestic sourcing requirements.
5) How does this junction box mount to the wall, and are the holes already there?
Surface mounting, using thru holes in the back of the box, so it fastens flat to a wall, column, or backboard with your own anchors or screws. The cover also has keyhole slots, which let you hang the cover on partially driven screws while you line it up. Fasteners for the wall are not part of the box.
6) Is this an Eaton B-Line screw cover box or a hinged door enclosure?
Screw cover. The cover lifts off entirely once the plated screws are backed out, which suits a pull box or splice point you rarely open. If you need repeated access, or want the cover to stay captive while you work in the box, look for a hinged cover enclosure instead.
7) What is this junction box made of, and does it need painting?
Galvanized steel, 16 gauge wall thickness, supplied unfinished in a grey galvanized appearance. The zinc coating is the corrosion protection, so no paint is required for a dry indoor install. If you do paint it for appearance, prime for galvanized surfaces first.
