B-LINE 36246 SC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can a NEMA 1 screw cover junction box like the B-Line 36246 SC be used outdoors or in a washdown area?
No. The 36246 SC carries a NEMA Type 1 rating, which is indoor, general purpose enclosure protection only. It guards against incidental contact with the enclosed equipment and falling dirt, with no sealing against water, oil, or dust. For a wet location, a rooftop, or anywhere subject to hose-down, you need a gasketed Type 3R, 4, or 4X enclosure instead.
2) Does this B-Line junction box come with knockouts already, or do I have to punch my own?
Knockouts are provided: 9 on the sides, 9 on the top, and 9 on the bottom. The back is left solid, so all your conduit entries come in from the perimeter. If your run needs a rear entry or a size the knockouts don't cover, you'll be punching the carbon steel body yourself.
3) How does the B-Line 36246 SC mount to a wall, and is mounting hardware included?
It's a surface mount enclosure with thru holes in the back for fastening straight to the wall or to Unistrut. The fasteners themselves are selected for your substrate (concrete anchors, lags into blocking, strut nuts) and are supplied by the installer, not with the box. The cover also has keyhole slots so one person can hang it on partially driven screws before tightening down.
4) What are the actual box dimensions on the B-Line 36246 SC junction box?
36 inches high, 24 inches long/deep, and 6 inches wide. That 6 inch depth is the wiring space behind the cover, so check your conduit bodies, breakers, or terminal blocks fit within it before committing. The whole assembly weighs 53.6 lb, which is a two-person lift for a wall mount at height.
5) What gauge steel is the B-Line 36246 SC, and will it hold up in a plant or mechanical room?
14 gauge carbon steel body, painted ANSI 61 grey. That's the standard weight for medium size industrial enclosures and it takes conduit loading and knockout punching without oil-canning. The painted finish is fine for dry indoor mechanical and electrical rooms; it is not a corrosion finish for chemical or coastal exposure.
6) I need to match the grey on existing enclosures in my building - what color is this one?
ANSI 61 Grey, the standard light grey used across most industrial panelboards and enclosures, applied as a painted finish. It will sit consistently alongside other ANSI 61 gear in the same room.
