B-LINE 18128 SC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can a NEMA 1 screw cover junction box like the B-Line 18128 SC be used outdoors or in a washdown area?
No. The 18128 SC carries a NEMA Type 1 rating, which is indoor, general purpose enclosure protection only, against incidental contact and falling dirt. It is not rated for rain, hose down, dust-tight service, or corrosive areas. For outdoor or wet locations you need a NEMA 3R, 4 or 4X enclosure instead.
2) What are the actual box dimensions of the B-Line 18128 SC junction box?
18 inches high, 12 inches wide, and 8 inches deep, which is where the 18128 designation comes from. Plan on clearance behind and around the conduit entries as well, since it is a surface mount box with knockouts on nine side locations plus five top and five bottom.
3) Does this Eaton B-Line box come with knockouts already, or do I have to punch my own conduit holes?
Knockouts are factory provided: nine on the sides, five on the top and five on the bottom. That covers most feed and branch runs without pulling out a punch set, though you can still add your own openings where the layout does not line up.
4) How does the 18128 SC mount to a wall, and is mounting hardware included?
It is a surface mount enclosure with thru holes in the back for fasteners straight into the wall or a strut run. Anchors and screws are not part of the box, so pick fasteners to suit the substrate. At 15.1 pounds empty, block or concrete needs proper anchors rather than drywall plugs.
5) Screw cover or hinged door enclosure, which should I use for a junction box I rarely open?
A screw cover box like the 18128 SC is the right call for pull points and splice boxes you open occasionally. The cover comes fully off, so you get unobstructed access to all four corners for pulling and dressing conductors. Keyhole slots on the cover let you hang it on loosened screws while you work. If the box is a control enclosure you open daily, a hinged door version saves time instead.
6) What gauge steel is this enclosure, and will it hold up in a mechanical room or plant?
The body is carbon steel at 16 gauge, painted ANSI 61 grey, with plated cover screws. That is standard commercial weight for a wall mounted pull box and stiff enough to carry conduit entries without oil-canning. Since it is painted carbon steel and NEMA 1, keep it out of damp or corrosive rooms where it would rust.
7) Will this box match the grey finish on the panels and gutter already installed in my building?
The finish is ANSI 61 grey paint, the same industry standard grey used on most switchgear, panelboards and wireway, so it will read as a match alongside existing gear. Good choice if you are standardizing enclosure appearance across a facility.
