B-LINE 18186 SCGV – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can a B-Line 18186 SCGV junction box be used outdoors or in a washdown area?
No. The 18186 SCGV carries a NEMA Type 1 rating, which is indoor use only, protecting against incidental contact with the enclosed equipment and falling dirt. It gives no protection against rain, hose-down, dust ingress, or corrosive atmospheres. For a wet or outdoor location you need a Type 3R or Type 4 enclosure instead.
2) What are the actual box dimensions on the B-Line 18186 SCGV enclosure?
It is 18 inches high, 18 inches wide, and 6 inches deep. That 6 inch depth is what matters most on a pull box job, since it sets your bend radius and how much wire you can bank in the back. The box weighs 18.2 lb bare.
3) Does this B-Line screw cover box come with knockouts, or do I have to punch my own?
Knockouts are already provided: 9 on each side, 9 on the top and 9 on the bottom. The back is not knocked out, so if you need a rear entry you will be punching it yourself.
4) Is this B-Line junction box UL listed for a commercial spec job?
Yes. The 18186 SCGV is built to UL 50, the standard covering enclosures for electrical equipment, and it is made in the US. That plus the NEMA Type 1 rating is usually what a spec sheet or inspector is looking for on an indoor junction box.
5) How does the 18186 SCGV mount to a wall, and is hardware included?
It is a surface mount box with thru holes in the back panel, so you fasten it straight to the wall or to Unistrut with your own anchors or bolts. Mounting fasteners are not part of the box, so pick anchors suited to the substrate and to an 18.2 lb enclosure plus whatever conductors you land in it.
6) Is a screw cover pull box the right choice, or should I use a hinged door enclosure?
A screw cover box like the 18186 SCGV suits junction and pull box duty where you open it rarely: splices, conduit pulls, and taps that get inspected and closed back up. The cover comes off entirely and has keyhole slots so you can back the plated screws out partway and lift the cover clear without dropping every screw. If you are mounting devices, terminal strips, or anything that gets serviced regularly, a hinged cover enclosure is easier to live with because the cover stays attached.
7) What gauge steel is the B-Line 18186 SCGV, and is it painted?
The body is 16 gauge galvanized steel, left unfinished in its natural grey. There is no paint or powder coat, so if the box will be visible in a finished space and needs to match a color scheme, you will be painting it on site or specifying a painted enclosure instead.
8) What part number do I order for the 18 x 18 x 6 Eaton B-Line screw cover box?
Order it as B-Line 18186 SCGV. The number reads as the dimensions first (18 high, 18 wide, 6 deep) then SCGV for screw cover galvanized. That is the only configuration this box comes in, so there is no finish or cover option to specify.
