B-LINE 18186 RTSC – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the B-Line 18186 RTSC junction box be mounted outdoors?
Yes. The 18186 RTSC carries a NEMA 3R rating, which covers outdoor use against falling rain, sleet and external ice formation. It adds a rain hood over the cover and uses plated screws to hold up outside. It is not a washdown or dust-tight enclosure, so if you need hosedown or oiltight protection you want a Type 4 or 4X box instead.
2) Does this B-Line 3R enclosure come with knockouts or do I have to punch my own?
There are 9 knockouts in the bottom of the box. The other walls and the cover are blank, so any side or back entry has to be punched in the field. Bottom entry is the correct approach on a 3R enclosure anyway, since top or side penetrations compromise the rain rating unless you use listed 3R fittings.
3) How does the 18186 RTSC mount, and will I need extra brackets?
It is a surface mount enclosure with embossed thru holes in the back pan for fasteners. The embossed feature keeps the mounting holes sealed against the back wall so water does not track in through them. Fasteners and anchors are not part of the box; pick them for your wall type and for a unit that weighs 18.4 lb empty before conductors.
4) Is the B-Line 18186 RTSC enclosure UL listed for a spec job?
It is built to UL 50, the standard covering enclosures for electrical equipment. Paired with the Type 3R construction, that is what an inspector or spec writer is looking for on an outdoor or damp-location junction box. It is made in the US if your project carries a domestic content requirement.
5) Is this a hinged door box or a screw cover?
Screw cover, not hinged. The cover is a flanged type secured with plated screws, which means you take the whole cover off to work inside. For a box you open routinely, a hinged-door enclosure is easier to live with; a screw cover suits pull boxes, splice points and terminations you rarely revisit.
6) Does the 18186 RTSC come with a back panel for mounting components?
The 18186 RTSC is a screw cover junction box, supplied as the enclosure and cover. Inner panels are a separate item on B-Line RTSC boxes, so if you plan to mount terminal blocks, relays or a DIN rail inside, order the matching panel for an 18 x 18 box along with it.
7) What part number do I order for the 18 x 18 x 6 B-Line 3R screw cover box?
Eaton B-Line part number 18186 RTSC. The digits read as height, width, then depth: 18 high, 18 wide, 6 deep, with RTSC identifying the rainproof screw cover style. Ordering by those digits alone risks pulling a different depth, so keep the full designation on the PO.
8) What gauge steel is the B-Line 18186 RTSC junction box, and is it painted?
Carbon steel at 16 gauge, painted in ANSI 61 grey. That is the standard grey used across most industrial control gear, so it will match adjacent panels and disconnects on a typical plant or mechanical room wall.
