B-LINE 888 SC NK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Eaton B-Line 888 SC NK junction box be used outdoors or in a wet location?
No. The 888 SC NK is a NEMA Type 1 enclosure, which is for indoor, dry locations only. It gives protection against incidental contact and falling dirt, with no rating against rain, washdown, dust or oil. For an outdoor wall or a damp mechanical room you need a NEMA 3R or 4 enclosure instead.
2) Does the B-Line 888 SC NK box come with knockouts for conduit?
No knockouts. It ships blank on all sides, so you punch your own openings where the conduit actually lands. That is the reason to pick the NK version, you set the hole locations and sizes yourself with a hole punch or step bit. If you want factory conduit openings, order a knockout version rather than this one.
3) Is the 888 SC NK UL listed for an inspected commercial job?
It carries UL 50, the standard for enclosures for electrical equipment, and it is rated NEMA Type 1. That is the pairing an inspector expects on an indoor surface-mounted steel pull or junction box. It is also made in the US, which matters if your spec carries a domestic-content requirement.
4) What size is the 888 SC NK junction box inside?
It is an 8 x 8 x 8 inch cube, listed as 8 inch height, 8 inch width and 8 inch length/depth. The 8 inch depth is what makes it usable as a pull box for larger conductors rather than just a splice point, and the screw cover comes off completely so you have full access to all four walls while pulling.
5) How does this B-Line box mount to a wall or a strut channel?
Surface mount, using thru holes in the back of the enclosure. You run fasteners straight through the back into the wall, plywood backboard or strut. Note that thru holes break the interior surface, which is fine for a Type 1 indoor box but worth knowing if you are laying out the inside for terminal blocks.
6) Is the cover on the 888 SC NK hinged or does it come all the way off?
It is a screw cover, not a hinged door, so it lifts off entirely once the screws are out. B-Line puts keyhole slots in the cover, so you can back the screws off partway and slide the cover free instead of chasing loose screws into the box. The screws are plated. For an enclosure you open routinely, a hinged-door enclosure is the better choice.
7) What exact part number do I order for the Eaton B-Line 8x8x8 no-knockout screw cover box?
The manufacturer part number is 888 SC NK. The digits are the dimensions (8 x 8 x 8), SC is screw cover and NK is no knockout. If you standardize on this box across a facility, that suffix pattern is how you order the same style in other sizes.
8) How heavy is the 8x8x8 B-Line screw cover box, and do I need blocking behind the drywall?
6.8 lb empty. Once you add conduit, conductors and splices it gets heavier, so fasten through the thru holes into studs, a plywood backboard or strut rather than drywall anchors alone.
