B-LINE 12128 SC NK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can a NEMA 1 screw cover junction box like the B-Line 12128 SC NK be used outdoors or in a wash-down area?
No. The 12128 SC NK carries a NEMA Type 1 rating, which is indoor, general purpose enclosure protection against incidental contact and falling dirt only. It offers no protection against water, oil, or dust ingress, so keep it out of exterior walls, mechanical rooms with hose-down cleaning, and food processing areas. For those locations you need a NEMA 3R, 4, or 12 enclosure instead.
2) Does this Eaton B-Line junction box come with knockouts, or do I have to punch my own conduit openings?
It ships with no knockouts. The 12128 SC NK is the NK (no knockout) version, so every conduit entry gets punched in the field exactly where your runs land. Plan on a knockout punch set or hole saw sized to your conduit trade size. If you want factory openings, order a knockout version of the screw cover box instead.
3) What are the actual box dimensions of the B-Line 12128 SC NK junction box?
It measures 12 inches high, 12 inches wide, and 8 inches deep. The 8 inch depth is what matters most on a wiring pull, since it gives you room to make up conductors and still get the screw cover back on flat. Weight is 11.6 lb, so one person can hang it.
4) How does this screw cover box mount to a wall, and is mounting hardware included?
Surface mount, using thru holes in the back of the enclosure. You supply the anchors or fasteners to suit the substrate, whether that is toggle bolts in drywall, sleeve anchors in concrete, or screws into blocking. The cover itself also has keyhole slots, which lets you hang the cover on partly driven screws while you seat the rest.
5) What gauge steel is the B-Line 12128 SC NK, and will the finish hold up in a mechanical room?
The body is 16 gauge carbon steel with a painted finish in ANSI 61 grey, the standard grey used across industrial control enclosures so it blends with existing panels. Cover screws are plated. It is a dry indoor finish, not a corrosion package, so it suits electrical and mechanical rooms that stay dry rather than damp or chemically exposed.
6) Should I use a screw cover junction box or a hinged door enclosure?
A screw cover box like the 12128 SC NK is the right call where the box gets opened rarely, such as a pull point or splice box, because the cover is fully removable and gives you clear access from every side. Where a tech opens the box routinely for terminations, metering, or troubleshooting, a hinged door enclosure is easier to live with since the cover stays attached. Both are Type 1 indoor products; the difference is access frequency, not protection.
