B-LINE 1086 SC NK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Eaton B-Line 1086 SC NK junction box be used outdoors or in a washdown area?
No. The 1086 SC NK is a NEMA Type 1 enclosure, which is indoor use only and offers no protection against rain, hose-down, or dust ingress. For a wet or outdoor location you need a Type 3R or Type 4 box instead. Indoors, in a dry mechanical room, electrical closet, or above a ceiling, it is the right class of enclosure.
2) What are the actual box dimensions of the B-Line 1086 SC NK junction box?
It measures 10 inches high, 8 inches wide, and 6 inches deep. The 6 inch depth is what usually decides the job, since it sets how much wire-bending room and device space you have behind the cover. Weight is 6.6 lb bare.
3) Does this B-Line junction box come with knockouts for conduit?
No knockouts. The 1086 SC NK is a no-knockout box, so every conduit or connector opening gets field-punched or hole-sawed where you want it. That is an advantage when your conduit runs do not line up with a standard knockout pattern, and extra work if you were expecting to just pop out a slug. If you want factory openings, order a knockout version instead.
4) Is this junction box UL listed for a commercial or institutional installation?
The 1086 SC NK is built to UL 50, the standard covering enclosures for electrical equipment. Combined with the NEMA 1 rating, that makes it acceptable for general indoor commercial and institutional use where an inspector expects a listed enclosure. It is US made.
5) How does the cover come off on the B-Line 1086 SC NK, and can one person handle it?
It is a screw cover, not a hinged door, and the cover has keyhole slots with plated screws. You back the screws out partway and lift the cover off the slots rather than removing the screws entirely, so nothing drops into the box or onto the floor while you are working. Fine for a single tech on a ladder.
6) How is this junction box mounted to the wall?
Surface mount, through thru holes in the back of the enclosure. You anchor it directly to the wall or to unistrut with your own fasteners; mounting hardware and anchors are not part of the box. It is not designed to be recessed into a wall cavity.
7) What gauge steel is the B-Line 1086 junction box, and how is it finished?
16 gauge carbon steel, painted ANSI 61 grey. That is the standard grey used on most commercial electrical gear, so it matches panelboards, disconnects, and other enclosures already in a plant or building without repainting.
8) Is the Eaton B-Line 1086 SC NK a hinged door enclosure?
No. Although it is described as a small single door style, the closure is a removable screw cover, not a swinging hinged door. If you need frequent access to devices inside, a hinged cover enclosure is the better choice; a screw cover suits pull points and splice boxes you open rarely.
