B-LINE 1284 HC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use a B-Line 1284 HC junction box outdoors or in a wash-down area?
No. The 1284 HC is a NEMA Type 1 enclosure, which is indoor-only protection against incidental dust and contact with the enclosed equipment. It offers no rating against rain, hose-down, or corrosive atmospheres. For a wet exterior wall or a wash-down kitchen, you need a Type 3R, 4, or 4X box instead.
2) Is the cover on the 1284 HC hinged or fully removable?
Both. The HC cover is hinged so it swings open and stays with the box during wiring, and it is also removable if you need it off entirely to pull conductors or drop the box into a tight space. It has a recessed pull ring and a friction dimple to hold it closed.
3) Does this B-Line box come with knockouts, or do I have to punch my own conduit holes?
Knockouts are already provided: 4 on the top, 4 on the bottom, and 5 on the sides. That covers straight-through conduit runs and side entries without a hole saw or punch on site. Plug any knockout you do not use to keep the Type 1 enclosure closed.
4) How does the 1284 HC mount to a wall or to strut?
It is a surface-mount enclosure with thru holes in the back pan, so you fasten it directly to the wall, to plywood backing, or to strut with your own bolts or anchors. Fasteners are not part of the box, so pick anchors suited to the substrate. It is not a flush or recessed box.
5) Is the B-Line 1284 HC UL listed for an inspected commercial job?
The enclosure carries UL 50, the standard for enclosures for electrical equipment, and it is built to NEMA Type 1. It is made in the US. That combination is what an inspector looks for on an indoor surface-mounted pull or junction box.
6) What are the actual box dimensions on the B-Line 1284 HC?
12 inches high, 8 inches wide, and 4 inches deep, so it takes a 12 x 8 footprint on the wall and stands 4 inches off it. Ship weight on the box is 6.3 lb, light enough for one person to hold while setting anchors.
7) What is the 1284 HC made of and how heavy is the steel?
Carbon steel at 16 gauge, painted in ANSI 61 grey. That is the standard grey used across most electrical gear, so it blends with panelboards and control cabinets in the same room. Painted carbon steel is fine for dry indoor service but is not a stainless or corrosion-resistant choice.
8) When should I order the hinged-cover HC version instead of a plain screw-cover junction box?
Pick the HC when the box will be opened repeatedly, at a splice point you troubleshoot or a device you service, because the hinged cover stays attached and you never chase loose screws or a dropped lid on a ladder. A screw-cover box is the cheaper choice for a splice you close up once and leave. The 1284 HC is a small single-door style, sized for splices and small terminal blocks rather than mounted gear.
