B-LINE 24186 WPSC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the B-Line 24186 WPSC junction box be mounted outdoors?
Yes. The 24186 WPSC is a Type 3/3R enclosure, so it is built for outdoor use against rain, sleet and windblown dust. It uses an oil-resistant gasket and gasketed screws on a flanged screw cover to keep water out, and it is UL 50 listed. The carbon steel body is painted ANSI 61 grey.
2) What are the actual box dimensions on the B-Line 24186 WPSC enclosure?
24 inches high, 18 inches wide and 6 inches deep. That 6 inch depth is what decides most jobs: it gives you room for terminal blocks, wire gutter space or a small DIN rail assembly, but it is shallow for deep-bodied components. The box weighs 24.1 lb empty.
3) Is this junction box also rated NEMA 12 for indoor dusty plant areas?
The 24186 WPSC is described as NEMA 3 and 12, so it suits indoor industrial spaces with circulating dust, falling dirt and dripping non-corrosive liquids as well as outdoor Type 3R service. The oil-resistant gasket is the reason it holds a 12 rating in a machine shop or wash-down-adjacent area.
4) Does this box come with mounting brackets, or do I have to buy feet separately?
External mounting feet are part of the enclosure, so it goes straight onto a wall, strut or backplane without ordering a separate bracket kit. Mounting is surface type, and because the feet are external the cover gasket seal is never broken by mounting fasteners. You supply the anchors for your wall material.
5) Screw cover vs hinged door enclosure, which should I use for a junction box?
A screw cover like the 24186 WPSC is the right pick for a pull box or splice point you open rarely, since the flanged cover comes off completely and every screw is gasketed for a better seal. If the enclosure houses controls, breakers or anything needing regular access or a panel-mounted device, choose a hinged door version instead so the cover stays captive when open.
6) Does the B-Line 24186 WPSC come with conduit holes punched?
No. It is supplied as a blank screw cover enclosure, so you drill or punch your own conduit entries where the run lands. Body and cover are 16 gauge carbon steel, which punches cleanly with a standard knockout punch, and any entry you make needs a Type 3R rated hub or fitting to keep the outdoor rating.
7) Is a painted carbon steel enclosure OK for a coastal or chemical site?
Carbon steel with an ANSI 61 grey painted finish holds up in most outdoor and industrial settings, but it is not the choice for salt spray, wash-down chemicals or corrosive process areas. For those, go to a Type 4X stainless or non-metallic enclosure. Painted steel is standard for wall-mounted pull and splice boxes on general commercial work.
8) Will this hold up as a standardized pull box across a facility?
It is a reasonable standard for outdoor and dusty-area pull points: single door, medium single door style, 16 gauge steel, UL 50 listed, one part number (24186 WPSC) in a single 24 x 18 x 6 size. Buying the same box repeatedly means one gasket and one cover screw pattern across the site. Larger or deeper runs need a different size in the same WPSC family.
