B-LINE 12106 RTHC NK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the B-Line 12106 RTHC NK enclosure be mounted outdoors?
Yes, for outdoor use where falling rain and dripping water are the concern. The 12106 RTHC NK carries a NEMA 3R rating and includes a rain hood over the door. It is not a washdown or hosedown box, so if you need protection against directed water spray or dust ingress you want a Type 4 or 12 enclosure instead.
2) Does this B-Line enclosure come with knockouts for conduit?
No. The NK in 12106 RTHC NK means no knockout, so the carbon steel body ships blank and you drill or punch your own conduit openings where the run actually lands. That is the usual choice for field-routed work; if you want factory holes you need a knockout version of the enclosure.
3) What are the box dimensions of the B-Line 12106 RTHC NK junction box?
12 inches high, 10 inches wide, and 6 inches deep, which is the 12106 part of the model designation. That gives you a 12 x 10 back panel area with 6 inches of depth for terminal blocks, small relays, or wire gutter. Shipping weight on the unit is 7.7 lb.
4) Can I padlock this outdoor junction box shut?
Yes. The single door has a padlock provision, so a standard shackle padlock secures it in a tenant space, parking structure, or any exterior location you need locked down. The door is hinged on a formed top hinge and the cover is removable if you want to work the box on the bench.
5) How does the 12106 RTHC NK mount to a wall?
Surface mount, using embossed thru holes in the back of the enclosure. The holes are formed so the fasteners land on raised bosses rather than flat sheet, which keeps the mounting screws out of the wet interior path. Mounting hardware for your wall type is not part of the enclosure, so anchors or bolts get specified separately.
6) What gauge steel is the B-Line 12106 RTHC NK, and is it painted?
16 gauge carbon steel, painted ANSI 61 grey. That is the standard industrial control enclosure finish, so it will match existing B-Line and other ANSI 61 panels already on a facility wall. Being painted carbon steel rather than stainless, it is not the pick for coastal salt spray or chemical exposure.
