B-LINE 16166 SCGV – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Eaton B-Line 16166 SCGV junction box be used outdoors or in a washdown area?
No. The 16166 SCGV carries a NEMA Type 1 rating, which is indoor use only, for general-purpose protection against incidental contact and falling dirt. It offers no protection against rain, hose-down, dust, or corrosive environments. For a wet or outdoor location you need a NEMA 3R or 4 enclosure instead.
2) How many knockouts does the 16166 SCGV box have and where are they?
There are 7 knockouts on each side, 7 on the top and 7 on the bottom, so conduit can enter from any of the four edges without drilling. The back is solid, so plan your runs to come in through the perimeter rather than behind the box.
3) Is this junction box UL listed for a commercial electrical inspection?
The 16166 SCGV is built to UL 50, the standard covering enclosures for electrical equipment, and it is made in the US. Paired with its NEMA Type 1 rating, that is the documentation an inspector looks for on an indoor general-purpose pull or junction box.
4) What are the box dimensions on the B-Line 16166 SCGV enclosure?
It is a 16 x 16 x 6 inch box: 16 inch height, 16 inch width, and 6 inch depth. That 6 inch depth gives room for splices and pulls behind a flush-facing cover, and the 16 inch square face is the footprint you need to lay out on the wall before mounting.
5) How does this B-Line screw cover junction box mount to the wall?
Surface mount, using thru holes in the back of the box. You supply the fasteners and anchors to suit the substrate, whether that is block, drywall with backing, or steel. At 15.2 lb empty plus conductors, anchor into something solid rather than hollow drywall alone.
6) Is the cover on the 16166 SCGV hinged or does it come all the way off?
It is a screw cover, not a hinged door. The cover has keyhole slots, so once you back the plated screws out part way the cover lifts off without having to remove the screws entirely. That is a real time saver when you are working a box overhead alone.
7) What gauge steel is the B-Line 16166 SCGV box, and will it rust?
The body is 16 gauge galvanized steel, left unfinished with a grey appearance. The galvanizing gives corrosion resistance for normal indoor service, but there is no paint or powder coat over it, so it is not intended for damp or corrosive locations.
8) What part number do I order for the 16 x 16 x 6 B-Line screw cover box?
Order it as Eaton B-Line 16166 SCGV. The number reads as the dimensions, 16 high by 16 wide by 6 deep, followed by SCGV for screw cover galvanized. It ships as a single model with no finish or size options to specify.
