B-LINE 664 RTHC NK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the B-Line 664 RTHC NK junction box be mounted outdoors?
Yes. The 664 RTHC NK carries a NEMA 3R rating, which covers outdoor use against falling rain, sleet and ice formation, and it includes a rain hood over the door. It is UL 50 listed. It is not a washdown or hosedown enclosure, so if the location sees direct spray or pressure washing you need a Type 4 or 4X box instead.
2) Does this B-Line enclosure come with knockouts for conduit?
No. The NK in 664 RTHC NK means no knockouts, so the box ships blank and you punch your own conduit openings where the run actually lands. If you want factory knockouts, order a knockout version of the RTHC instead of the NK.
3) How does the 664 RTHC NK cover open, and can it be locked?
The door is a hinged cover on a formed top hinge, so it swings up and stays with the box rather than coming off in your hand. There is a padlock provision on the door for a standard shackle padlock, which is what most facilities use to keep an outdoor pull box closed to unauthorized hands. The cover is also removable if you need the box fully open to pull wire.
4) How does this junction box mount to a wall?
Surface mount only. The back of the box has embossed thru holes, meaning the mounting holes sit in raised dimples so the fastener heads hold the box slightly off the wall and water does not track into the hole. Hardware is not part of the box, so pick anchors to suit the substrate. It is not a flush or recessed enclosure.
5) Will the finish on this B-Line box match the other gray enclosures on my site?
It is painted ANSI 61 gray, the standard light gray used across most industrial electrical enclosures, so it will read the same as other ANSI 61 gear on the wall. The substrate is carbon steel, not stainless or aluminum, so touch up any field-drilled conduit openings to keep rust out of the cut edge.
6) Is a hinged 3R box like this better than a screw-cover pull box?
Depends how often you go back into it. A screw-cover box is cheaper and fine for a splice you will never touch. The 664 RTHC NK hinged type earns its place where a tech opens the box regularly, because the door stays captive on its formed top hinge and there are no cover screws to drop off a ladder, and the padlock provision lets you secure it between visits. For an indoor-only splice with no weather exposure, a Type 1 box does the same job for less.
7) What is the exact part number to order this B-Line enclosure?
Order Eaton B-Line part number 664 RTHC NK. It is a small single door style box made in the US.
