B-LINE 16166 SCG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the 16166 SCG come with mounting feet or brackets for surface mounting?
No. The 16166 SCG is a surface-mount enclosure with no mounting provisions, meaning no factory feet, brackets or mounting holes in the back. You either order B-Line mounting feet or panel brackets separately, or drill the back yourself, and if you drill it you have to reseal those penetrations to keep the Type 3R rating. Plan for that before the box goes on the wall.
2) What part number do I order for the 16 x 16 x 6 B-Line screw cover box?
Order Eaton B-Line 16166 SCG. The number reads as the dimensions, 16 high by 16 wide by 6 deep, with SCG identifying the screw-cover galvanized enclosure. It is a small single-door style body, so if a spec sheet calls for a hinged or window cover version you are looking at a different B-Line designation.
3) What are the actual box dimensions of the 16166 SCG enclosure?
16 inches high by 16 inches wide with a 6 inch depth, which is where the 16166 designation comes from. At 6 inches deep it gives room for splices, terminal strips or small din-rail blocks behind the cover, but it is a junction/pull box rather than a deep control enclosure.
4) Is the cover hinged or does it screw on?
Screw cover, not hinged. The cover lifts off completely and is secured with gasketed screws around the perimeter, which is what maintains the seal. That is fine for a pull or splice box you open rarely, but if crews need to get in weekly for troubleshooting, a hinged-door enclosure is the easier choice since a loose screw cover has to be held or set down on every entry.
5) How heavy is the 16166 junction box, and is it a one-person install?
22.2 pounds empty. Mounted at height on an unloaded wall that is a two-person lift in practice, and because there are no factory mounting provisions you are supporting the full weight through whatever feet or brackets you add. Size your anchors to the substrate accordingly.
6) Does the 16166 SCG enclosure come with knockouts or do I drill my own conduit entries?
It ships as a blank box, so you locate and punch your own conduit entries. That is normal for a Type 3R screw-cover enclosure, and it is the right approach on a gasketed box because every opening you make has to be closed with a raintight fitting or sealing washer to keep the 3R rating intact. Bottom or lower-side entries are the usual choice on outdoor installs.
7) Is this B-Line box UL listed, and where is it made?
The 16166 SCG is built to UL 50, the standard covering enclosures for electrical equipment, and it is made in the US. That combination is what most institutional and government specs are looking for when they call for a listed, domestically produced enclosure.
8) What gauge steel is this enclosure, and is it heavy enough for industrial use?
14 gauge galvanized steel body, which is the standard weight for commercial and industrial junction and pull boxes of this size and is stiff enough that the flange holds the gasket flat when the cover screws are torqued down. Finish is unfinished galvanized, grey in appearance, so it can be left as-is or field painted.
