B-LINE 10106 HC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can a NEMA 1 junction box like the B-Line 10106 HC be used outdoors or in a washdown area?
No. The 10106 HC carries a NEMA Type 1 rating, which is indoor use only, for protection against incidental contact and falling dirt. It offers no protection against water, oil, or dust ingress, so keep it out of wet locations, washdown areas, and exterior walls. For those spots you need a NEMA 3R, 4, or 4X enclosure instead.
2) What are the actual box dimensions on the Eaton B-Line 10106 HC junction box?
It measures 10 inches high, 10 inches wide, and 6 inches deep, so you need a 10 by 10 inch footprint on the wall and 6 inches of clearance off the face of the mounting surface. Empty weight is 7.8 lb, light enough for a single installer to hold while setting anchors.
3) Does the 10106 HC come with knockouts already, or do I have to punch my own conduit holes?
Knockouts are already provided: 5 in the top, 5 in the bottom, and 5 in the sides. That covers most branch-circuit and control wiring pulls without pulling out a punch set. If you need an opening where there is no knockout, the body is 16 gauge carbon steel, so a standard hole cutter or punch will work.
4) How does the 10106 HC mount to the wall, and are fasteners included?
It is a surface mount enclosure with thru holes in the back pan, so it bolts flat to a wall, strut, or backboard. Anchors and screws are not part of the enclosure, so pick fasteners to suit the substrate (concrete anchors for masonry, toggles for drywall, strut nuts if you are going to Unistrut). Thru holes also mean the fasteners break the back plane, which is fine on a Type 1 indoor box.
5) Is the cover on the 10106 hinged or bolt-on, and can it be taken off completely?
Both, in effect. The door is hinged so it swings open for servicing without juggling a loose panel, and the cover is removable when you need clear access to land conduit or mount devices. It has a recessed pull ring and a friction dimple that holds the door shut, so there is no protruding handle to catch in a corridor or equipment room.
6) Is the B-Line 10106 HC UL listed, and where is it made?
It is built to UL 50, the standard covering enclosures for electrical equipment, and it is made in the US. That combination matters on jobs with Buy American or domestic-sourcing language in the spec.
7) Should I use a hinged-cover box like this or a plain screw-cover pull box?
Go hinged when the box will be opened again: control splices, device terminations, anything an electrician or maintenance tech revisits. The 10106 HC swings open on its hinge and the cover still lifts off when you need full access. A flat screw-cover pull box is the cheaper choice for a pull point you expect to close once and forget. Either way this one is indoor only at NEMA 1.
8) Does the 10106 HC include a back panel for mounting terminal blocks or devices?
No panel is part of the enclosure. The 10106 HC is a single-door Type 1 steel body with knockouts and thru mounting holes, intended as a junction and splice box. If you plan to mount terminal strips, relays, or a small DIN rail inside, order a subpanel or DIN rail kit sized for a 10 by 10 by 6 inch enclosure separately.
9) What is the exact part number to order the 10" x 10" x 6" hinged cover B-Line box?
The Eaton B-Line part number is 10106 HC. The designation reads off the dimensions: 10 inch height, 10 inch width, 6 inch depth, HC for hinged cover. That is the only model configuration on it, so there is no finish or size option to specify.
10) Will this junction box match the other gray enclosures already installed in my plant?
The finish is painted ANSI 61 grey, the standard gray used across industrial control and enclosure lines, so it reads the same as most existing panel and pull box installations. If your facility standardized on ANSI 61, the 10106 HC drops in without looking out of place.
