B-LINE 1286 SCGV NK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the B-Line 1286 SCGV NK junction box be used outdoors or in a washdown area?
No. The 1286 SCGV NK carries a NEMA Type 1 rating, which is indoor use only for protection against incidental contact and falling dirt. It offers no protection against rain, hose-down, or dust ingress, so for exterior walls, mechanical rooms with washdown, or damp locations you need a Type 3R or Type 4 enclosure instead.
2) What are the actual box dimensions on the B-Line 1286 junction box?
It measures 12 inches high, 8 inches wide, and 6 inches deep, with a 16 gauge galvanized steel body. The 6 inch depth is the number that usually decides it, since that is what gives you room for conduit bodies, splices, and wire bending space behind the cover.
3) Does this B-Line enclosure come with knockouts already punched?
No. The SCGV NK is the no-knockout version, so every conduit entry gets field punched where you want it. That is an advantage when you are running several sizes or entering from an odd face, but it means you need a knockout punch set on site. If you would rather have factory openings, order a knockout version of the same box instead.
4) How does the 1286 SCGV NK mount to a wall, and is mounting hardware included?
It is a surface mounted box with thru holes in the back for lagging or bolting straight to the wall or a strut run. Fasteners are not part of the box, so pick anchors to suit your substrate. The empty box weighs 7.6 lb, so drywall alone is not enough once it is loaded with conduit and conductors.
5) Is this a screw cover or a hinged door box?
Screw cover. The cover lifts off entirely and fastens with plated screws, and it has keyhole slots so you can back the screws out part way and lift the cover clear without losing them. It is catalogued as a small single door style, but there is no hinge, so plan on having the cover in your hands during work inside the box.
6) Is the B-Line 1286 junction box UL listed for a spec job?
Yes, it is built to UL 50, the standard covering enclosures for electrical equipment, and it is made in the US. That combination is what most institutional and government specs are looking for on a junction box submittal.
7) What part number do I order for this B-Line box?
Order it as Eaton B-Line 1286 SCGV NK. The number reads as the size and type: 12 by 8 by 6 inch screw cover galvanized, no knockouts. There is a single configuration, so there is no finish or size option to specify with it.
