B-LINE 16128 SCGV NK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can a NEMA 1 junction box like the B-Line 16128 SCGV NK be used outdoors or in a wet area?
No. The 16128 SCGV NK carries a NEMA Type 1 rating, which covers indoor use only and protects against incidental contact and falling dirt. It offers no protection against rain, dripping water, washdown, or dust ingress. For an outdoor wall, a damp mechanical room, or anywhere subject to hose-down, step up to a NEMA 3R or 4/4X enclosure instead.
2) Does the 16128 SCGV NK enclosure come with knockouts, or do I have to punch my own conduit holes?
It ships with no knockouts. NK in the model code means the body is blank, so every conduit entry gets located and punched in the field with a hole saw or knockout punch to suit your run. That is what you want on a pull box feeding multiple directions, but budget the labour and the punch set. If you would rather not drill, order a version with factory knockouts.
3) How does this junction box mount to a wall or to strut?
It is a surface mount enclosure with thru holes in the back pan, so it fastens flat against a wall, a plywood backboard, or Unistrut using your own bolts or lags. Fasteners are not part of the box, so pick anchors rated for 14.2 lb plus the weight of the wire it will carry. It is not a flush or recessed box, so it will sit proud of finished drywall.
4) What are the actual box dimensions on the B-Line 16128 SCGV NK junction box?
The box measures 16 inches high, 12 inches wide and 8 inches deep, which is the 16x12x8 in the model designation. The 8 inch depth is what matters most on a pull box, since it gives room for large conductors and bending radius behind the cover. Weight is 14.2 lb bare.
5) How does the cover attach on the B-Line SCGV screw cover box, and can one person hang it?
The cover is a screw-on type, not hinged, and it uses keyhole slots with plated screws. Back the screws out part way, hook the cover on the slots, then tighten, so you are not balancing the panel and starting threads at the same time. Practical for a single installer, but it does mean the cover comes fully off for access rather than swinging open, so leave clearance in front.
6) Is the B-Line 16128 SCGV NK painted, and will galvanized steel hold up in a plant or parking garage?
The box is galvanized steel, left unfinished, so the visible colour is the grey of the zinc coating rather than paint. Galvanized is the usual choice for indoor industrial and mechanical spaces where nobody cares about appearance and you want some corrosion resistance without a paint spec. It is a Type 1 enclosure though, so do not put it anywhere exposed to weather. If you need a finished white or ANSI grey box for a lobby or tenant space, specify a painted version.
7) Is a screw cover pull box like this the right choice, or should I use a hinged cover enclosure?
A screw cover box such as the 16128 SCGV NK suits splices, taps, and conduit pulls you open rarely, and the cover fully removes for wire pulling room. If you will be opening it routinely for terminations, metering, or troubleshooting, a hinged cover enclosure is the better pick since the door stays captive and you are not handling loose screws on a ladder. For a straight pull point above a ceiling or in a mechanical room, the screw cover is the simpler and cheaper prep.
8) What exactly do I order to get this Eaton B-Line box, and is there more than one configuration?
Order Eaton B-Line part number 16128 SCGV NK. It is a single configuration: 16 x 12 x 8 inches, galvanized, screw cover, no knockouts, thru mounting holes, NEMA 1. There is no finish or knockout choice to specify on this one, so the part number is the whole order.
