B-LINE 16126 HC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can a NEMA 1 junction box like the B-Line 16126 HC be used outdoors or in a washdown area?
No. The 16126 HC carries a NEMA Type 1 rating, which is indoor use only, for protection against incidental contact with the enclosed equipment and falling dirt. It offers no protection against rain, hose-down, dust, or corrosive environments. For a wet or outdoor location you need a Type 3R, 4, or 4X enclosure instead.
2) Does this B-Line HC enclosure come with knockouts, or do I have to punch my own conduit holes?
Knockouts are already provided: 5 in the top, 5 in the bottom, and 7 on the sides. That gives you straight-through vertical runs plus side entries without pulling out a punch set. If your conduit layout does not line up with those locations you would still need to punch the shell, which is 16 gauge carbon steel.
3) How does the 16126 HC mount to the wall?
It is a surface-mount enclosure with thru holes in the back pan, so it fastens flat to a wall, backboard, or strut with your own screws or bolts. Mounting hardware is not part of the box, so pick anchors suited to the substrate and the 12.5 lb empty weight plus whatever you fill it with. It is not designed to be recessed into a wall cavity.
4) Is this junction box UL listed for an inspected commercial job?
The 16126 HC is built to UL 50, the standard covering enclosures for electrical equipment, and it is made in the US. Combined with the Type 1 indoor rating, that is what an inspector looks for on an interior surface-mounted pull or junction box.
5) What are the actual box dimensions on the B-Line 16126 HC junction box?
It measures 16 inches high, 12 inches wide, and 6 inches deep, so plan a wall footprint of 16 by 12 inches and 6 inches of clearance off the wall plus swing room for the hinged door. Fabricated weight is 12.5 lb empty, which matters when you are picking anchors for drywall or block.
6) Is the cover on this B-Line junction box hinged or screw-on?
Hinged, and it is also removable. The door has a recessed pull ring and a friction dimple to hold it closed, so a technician can open it one-handed for routine inspection without chasing loose cover screws, and lift the door off entirely when pulling wire.
7) What color is the B-Line 16126 HC, and will it match enclosures already on our wall?
It ships painted in ANSI 61 grey, the standard gray used across most industrial panelboards and control enclosures, so it lines up visually with existing ANSI 61 gear in a mechanical or electrical room. The shell underneath is carbon steel.
8) Is 16 gauge steel heavy enough for a box this size in a commercial building?
Yes for typical indoor pull box and wiring-trough duty. The 16 gauge carbon steel wall is the usual weight for a 16 by 12 by 6 inch Type 1 enclosure and keeps the shell rigid enough that the hinged door stays aligned after mounting. For impact-prone or corrosive areas, step up to a gasketed Type 4 or stainless Type 4X instead of relying on a painted Type 1.
