B-LINE 24186 HC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the B-Line 24186 HC junction box be used outdoors or in a washdown area?
No. The 24186 HC is a NEMA Type 1 enclosure, which is for indoor use only, protecting against incidental contact 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 NEMA 3R or 4 rated enclosure instead.
2) What are the actual box dimensions on the B-Line 24186 HC enclosure?
It measures 24 inches high, 18 inches wide and 6 inches deep. The 6 inch depth is the number to check first if you are stacking a terminal block or a DIN rail assembly inside, and the 24 x 18 face determines the wall space you need to lay out.
3) Does the B-Line 24186 HC come with knockouts or do I have to punch my own conduit entries?
Knockouts are already provided: 9 on the top, 9 on the bottom and 9 on the sides. That covers most multi-conduit pulls without field punching. The back is not knocked out, so the box is intended for conduit entering from the top, bottom or sides.
4) How does this B-Line junction box mount to the wall?
It is a surface mount enclosure with thru holes in the back pan, so it bolts or lags flat to a wall, strut or backboard. It is not designed to be flush or recessed into a finished wall. At 23.2 pounds empty, plan anchors accordingly if you are fixing to drywall or block rather than to structure.
5) Is the cover on the 24186 HC hinged or screw-on?
Hinged, and it is also removable. There is a recessed pull ring and a friction dimple to hold it shut, so the door stays closed without a separate latch kit and you can lift the cover off entirely when you need clear access during rough-in.
6) What gauge steel is the B-Line 24186 HC made from, and what is the finish?
The body is 16 gauge carbon steel with a painted finish in ANSI 61 grey, the standard gear grey used across most industrial panel and switchgear installations, so it will match adjacent equipment in a plant or mechanical room.
7) What is the part number and manufacturer for this hinged cover enclosure?
It is Eaton B-Line series, catalog number 24186 HC, an HC style hinged cover enclosure in the medium single door configuration. Made in the US.
