B-Line Eaton series Type 3/3R junction boxes, 8" height, 6" length, 8" width, 3 and 12, Screw cover, SCG enclosure, Surface mounted, Small single doo

The 886 SCG measures 8 inches high, 8 inches wide and 6 inches deep, so it gives you a full 6 inches of gutter depth behind the cover for splices, terminal blocks or a small relay. It weighs 7.8 lb empty, light enough for one person to hold against a wall while anchoring.

No. The 886 SCG has no mounting provisions, meaning no factory mounting feet, brackets or back-panel studs. It is a surface mount enclosure, so you supply the mounting hardware and drill your own holes. Drill through the back, not through a gasketed side, and seal any penetration you make on the exterior if the box is outdoors.

A screw cover like the 886 SCG suits a box you open rarely: pull boxes, splice points, junction points where the cover comes off during install and stays put after. The gasketed screws around the perimeter are what hold the seal, and you handle a loose cover every time you open it. If someone will be in the box regularly for resets, testing or terminations, a hinged door version is easier to live with. The 886 SCG is a small single door style.

It ships as a blank galvanized steel enclosure with no knockouts specified, so plan on drilling or punching your own conduit entries where your run lands. Wall thickness is 14 gauge, which is heavy enough to want a step bit or a knockout punch rather than a twist drill. Use sealing hub fittings or gasketed connectors on any penetration if the box is mounted outdoors, since only the cover joint is factory gasketed.

The 886 SCG has no mounting provisions, so there are no factory panel studs or back-panel mounting points inside. Anything you mount internally has to be attached to the 14 gauge steel yourself, and drilling the back wall of an outdoor box means sealing that penetration. If you need a captive sub-panel, an enclosure supplied with panel mounting studs is the cleaner starting point.

The 886 SCG is galvanized steel with an unfinished, grey mill surface, so the zinc coating is the corrosion protection and no paint is required. If you want it painted to match a building, prime for galvanized substrate first or the topcoat will not hold. For washdown, coastal or chemical exposure, a stainless or painted enclosure is the better call.

Country of origin on the 886 SCG is the United States, which matters if you are buying on a government, institutional or federally funded job with domestic sourcing requirements on the submittal.
