B-Line Eaton series Type 1 junction boxes, 10" height, 4" length, 8" width, 1, Hinged cover, HC NK enclosure, Surface mounted, Small single door, No

No. The 1084 HC NK carries a NEMA 1 rating, which is indoor, general-purpose protection against falling dirt only. It offers no protection against water, oil, or dust ingress, so keep it out of exterior walls, parking garages exposed to weather, kitchens, and any area that gets hosed down. For those locations you need a NEMA 3R, 4, or 12 enclosure instead.

No knockouts. The NK in the model designation means the box ships blank, so you drill or punch every conduit entry yourself and place them where your raceway actually lands. That's usually what an electrician wants on a retrofit, but budget time for a step bit or knockout punch on site. The only holes provided are the mounting thru holes in the back.

Hinged, and it's also removable. The cover uses a recessed pull ring and a friction dimple to stay shut, so you can open it one-handed for inspection or troubleshooting without chasing loose cover screws, then lift it off entirely when you need clear access to pull wire. For MRO and facility crews doing repeat inspections on the same box, that's the practical reason to choose HC over a screw cover.

It's a 10 x 8 x 4 inch box: 10 inch height, 8 inch width, and 4 inch depth. That 4 inch depth is what matters most on a wiring job, since it sets how much room you have behind the hinged cover for splices, terminal blocks, or a small DIN rail. Fabricated weight is 5.5 lb.

It's a surface-mount enclosure with thru holes in the back panel, so you fasten it straight to the wall, strut, or backboard through those holes. Fasteners are not part of the box, so pick anchors or machine screws to suit the substrate. At 5.5 lb empty, two-person handling isn't needed, but anchor for the added weight of conduit and devices.

The enclosure is certified to UL 50, the standard covering enclosures for electrical equipment. It's built in the US. Pair that with the NEMA 1 rating when you're checking it against an indoor general-purpose callout on the drawings.

Order it as Eaton B-Line 1084 HC NK. The number reads as the box size (10 x 8 x 4 inches) followed by HC for hinged cover and NK for no knockouts. One configuration only, so there are no finish or size options to specify on the order.

Body is carbon steel at 16 gauge, painted in ANSI 61 grey. That's the standard industrial grey used across most control and enclosure lines, so it blends with existing panels and gear in a plant or mechanical room without repainting.
