B-LINE 12128 RTSC NK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Eaton B-Line 12128 RTSC NK junction box be mounted outdoors?
Yes. The 12128 RTSC NK is a NEMA 3R enclosure, which covers outdoor use against falling rain, sleet and external ice formation. It ships with a rain hood and plated screws for that service, and it is UL 50 listed. It is not a washdown or hosedown rating, so for direct spray or heavy dust you want a Type 4 or 4X box instead.
2) What are the actual box dimensions on the B-Line 12128 RTSC NK?
12 inches high, 12 inches wide and 8 inches deep. The model number reads the same way: 12 x 12 x 8. Allow extra clearance above the box for the rain hood and enough room in front to pull the screw cover straight off.
3) Does this B-Line enclosure come with knockouts for conduit?
No. The NK in 12128 RTSC NK means no knockouts, so every conduit entry gets punched or hole-sawed in the field. That is the point of the NK version: you place the holes where your runs actually land. If you want factory conduit openings, order the knockout version of the RTSC instead.
4) How does the 12128 RTSC NK box fasten to a wall?
Surface mount, using embossed thru holes in the back of the enclosure. The embossed holes keep the fastener standoff off the mounting surface so water does not track in at the screw. Mounting fasteners are not part of the box, so pick anchors to suit the wall, and plan for 11.5 pounds of empty enclosure plus whatever you put in it.
5) Is the cover hinged or does it come off completely?
It is a screw cover, flanged, held by plated screws. It lifts off completely rather than swinging on a hinge, so you need free space in front of the box to remove and set it aside. For an opening you will be into regularly, a hinged-door enclosure is the easier choice; the screw cover suits pull boxes and terminations you rarely revisit.
6) What gauge steel is the B-Line RTSC junction box, and will it hold up outside?
Carbon steel at 16 gauge, painted ANSI 61 grey. That is the standard grey used across industrial gear, so it matches typical panelboards and control cabinets on the same wall. Painted carbon steel is right for normal outdoor and industrial exposure; for coastal salt air or chemical exposure, specify stainless or a 4X polycarbonate box.
7) I need to match an existing enclosure on site. What exact part number is this?
Eaton B-Line part number 12128 RTSC NK, made in the US. The designation breaks down as 12 x 12 x 8 inches, RTSC for the rainproof screw cover style, NK for no knockouts. Quote all of it when matching a fleet of boxes, because the same size exists with knockouts and that version is a different part.
8) Is the B-Line 12128 RTSC NK a single door enclosure?
It is a small single door style with one screw-on cover over the full 12 by 12 inch face. One opening, one cover, nothing to latch or lock as supplied.
