B-LINE 12106 RTHC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the B-Line 12106 RTHC enclosure be mounted outdoors?
Yes, outdoors is what the RTHC box is built for. It carries a NEMA 3R rating, which covers falling rain, sleet and snow, and it includes a rain hood over the door opening. Wet-location service only, though, NEMA 3R is not a washdown or hosedown rating, so keep it off surfaces that get pressure washed.
2) What are the actual box dimensions on the 12106 RTHC junction box?
12 inches high, 10 inches wide, and 6 inches deep. The model designation follows those numbers: 12 x 10 x 6. Shipping-wise it is a 9 lb box, so a single installer can hang it without help.
3) How does the 12106 RTHC mount to a wall, and do I need to drill the back of the box?
No drilling in the back panel. It is a surface-mount enclosure with embossed thru holes already formed for the mounting fasteners. Embossed holes keep the fastener heads off the flat of the back and preserve the 3R integrity, so you should not add your own penetrations through the enclosure wall.
4) Does the 12106 RTHC come with knockouts or do I have to punch my own conduit entries?
Five knockouts are provided. For anything beyond those you will be punching your own, and on an outdoor 3R box any field-made opening needs a rated fitting and should be on the bottom or sides rather than the top so water does not track in.
5) Can I padlock this B-Line junction box shut?
Yes. The RTHC has a padlock provision on the door, so you can secure it in a tenant space, a mechanical yard or anywhere the panel needs to stay closed to unauthorized hands. The padlock is not included, so add one to the order.
6) Is the cover hinged or a loose screw-on lid?
Hinged, with a formed top hinge, and the cover is also removable. That means you can swing it open one-handed while terminating conductors, then lift the cover off entirely if you need clear access to pull wire or work the interior.
7) What gauge steel is the 12106 RTHC, and will the finish hold up outside?
16 gauge carbon steel body, painted ANSI 61 grey. That is the standard grey used across commercial electrical gear, so it matches adjacent panelboards and disconnects in a mechanical room or on a rooftop. Being painted steel rather than stainless, it is for general outdoor and industrial use, not coastal salt spray or chemical exposure, where a stainless or non-metallic 4X box is the right call.
8) Do I get a mounting panel or terminal strip inside the 12106 RTHC?
This is a junction box in the small single door style, so what you are buying is the enclosure with its hinged rain-hooded cover and five knockouts. Any back panel, DIN rail, terminal blocks or grounding kit is ordered separately.
9) What is the exact part number to order this B-Line box by?
Order it as B-Line (Eaton) 12106 RTHC. The RTHC suffix identifies the rain-tight hinged cover enclosure line, and the leading digits are the 12 x 10 x 6 inch size.
