B-LINE 864 HC NK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can a B-Line 864 HC NK junction box be used outdoors or in a washdown area?
No. The 864 HC NK is a NEMA Type 1 enclosure, which is for indoor use only and offers no protection against rain, hose-down, or dust ingress. For outdoor or wet locations you need a Type 3R or Type 4 enclosure instead. Keep this one in dry indoor spaces like electrical rooms, mechanical rooms, and finished ceilings.
2) What are the actual box dimensions on the B-Line 864 HC NK?
It measures 8 inches high, 6 inches wide, and 4 inches deep. That 4 inch depth is the one to check against your conduit runs and wire bending space, since a hinged cover adds nothing to usable interior depth. Weight is 3.9 lb, light enough for a single-person surface mount.
3) How does the B-Line 864 HC NK mount to a wall?
Surface mount, using thru holes in the back of the enclosure. You fasten straight through the box body into the wall or strut, so the fasteners you use are yours to supply and should suit the substrate (anchors for masonry, screws into blocking or strut nuts for a Unistrut run). It is not a flush or recessed box, so the full 4 inch depth sits proud of the wall.
4) Is the Eaton B-Line 864 HC NK UL listed for an inspected commercial job?
It is built to UL 50, the standard covering enclosures for electrical equipment. Paired with the NEMA Type 1 indoor rating, that is what an inspector looks for on an indoor junction or pull box. Note that UL 50 covers the enclosure itself, so any field-modified conduit entries still need proper fittings to keep the installation compliant.
5) Is the cover on the 864 HC NK hinged or does it come all the way off?
Both, in effect. The cover is hinged as a small single door so it swings open for routine access without juggling loose screws, and it is also removable when you need the opening clear to pull wire or set devices. It has a recessed pull ring and a friction dimple that holds it closed, so there is no separate latch or lock to specify.
6) What is the B-Line 864 HC NK enclosure made of and what does it look like once installed?
Carbon steel at 16 gauge, painted in ANSI 61 grey, the standard grey that matches most industrial panelboards and control gear. It is a US-made enclosure. If you are standardizing a facility, the ANSI 61 finish will blend with existing B-Line and Eaton equipment already on the wall.
