B-LINE 12124 RTHC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the B-Line 12124 RTHC junction box be mounted outdoors?
Yes. The 12124 RTHC carries a NEMA 3R rating and includes a rain hood, so it is built for outdoor wall mounting where falling rain, sleet and ice are the concern. NEMA 3R is not a washdown or hosedown rating, so skip it for pressure-wash areas or anywhere it would see direct spray.
2) What are the actual box dimensions on the B-Line 12124 RTHC enclosure?
12 inches high, 12 inches wide and 4 inches deep, in 16 gauge carbon steel. The 4 inch depth is the number to check first: it sets how much room you have behind the cover for wire bending space, terminal blocks or a small din rail assembly.
3) Does the B-Line RTHC junction box come with knockouts, or do I have to punch my own conduit holes?
It ships with 5 knockouts already provided, so for a straightforward feed-through you may not need to punch anything. Anything beyond that, or a different conduit size, you punch yourself in the 16 gauge carbon steel body.
4) Can I padlock this B-Line outdoor enclosure shut?
Yes, the 12124 RTHC has a padlock provision on the door. The cover is hinged on a formed top hinge and is removable, so a tech can lift it off entirely during rough-in and hang it back for final inspection.
5) How does this B-Line box mount to the wall, and is it a one-man hang?
Surface mount through embossed thru holes in the back panel, which keep the fastener heads from breaking the enclosure's rain integrity the way an open drilled hole would. At 8.4 lb empty it is a one-person hang on masonry anchors or lag screws into structure.
6) Is the B-Line 12124 RTHC UL listed, and is it made in the USA?
It is built to UL 50, the standard covering enclosures for electrical equipment, and country of origin is the United States. That combination is usually what an institutional or government spec is asking for on a junction box submittal.
7) Should I use a hinged cover box like the RTHC or a screw-cover junction box?
Pick the hinged RTHC when the box gets opened more than once: terminations you will re-land, controls you will troubleshoot, anything you want to padlock. A screw cover is fine for a buried-in-the-wall splice you never touch again, but a 12 x 12 outdoor box on a wall almost always ends up being opened, and a hinged top-hinge cover means nothing gets dropped off a ladder.
8) Is carbon steel the right choice for a coastal or chemical environment?
The 12124 RTHC is painted carbon steel, which suits general outdoor and industrial walls. For salt air, wash chemicals or corrosive process areas, step up to a stainless or non-metallic 4X enclosure instead, since paint over carbon steel will eventually undercut at any scratch or field-punched knockout.
9) Will the 12124 RTHC match the grey enclosures already on my building?
It is painted ANSI 61 grey, the standard light grey used across most industrial electrical enclosures, so it will read as a match next to typical panel and pull box finishes on the same wall.
