B-LINE 886 RTSCGV – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Eaton B-Line 886 RTSCGV junction box be mounted outdoors?
Yes. The 886 RTSCGV is a NEMA Type 3R enclosure built from galvanized steel with a rainhood over the cover, so it is intended for outdoor use where falling rain, sleet and ice are the concern. Type 3R protects against falling water and external ice formation, not hosedown or dust-tight service. If you need washdown or dust-tight, you want a Type 4 or 12 box instead.
2) What are the box dimensions on the B-Line 886 RTSCGV enclosure?
It measures 8 inches height, 8 inches width and 6 inches depth, and weighs 5.7 lb. The 6 inch depth is what usually decides it: allow for your conduit fittings and wire bending space inside that depth before you commit.
3) Does the 886 RTSCGV junction box have knockouts, and where are they?
There are 4 knockouts, all in the bottom of the box. There are none in the sides, back or top, which is normal for a 3R enclosure since penetrations above the wiring would let water in. Plan your conduit entries to come up from below, or you will be field-drilling and voiding the rain protection.
4) How does the B-Line 886 RTSCGV mount to a wall?
Surface mount, using embossed thru holes formed into the back of the box. The embossed mounting provisions keep the fastener holes raised off the mounting surface so water does not track in behind. Mounting screws for the wall are not part of the enclosure; pick fasteners to suit your substrate. The cover screws are plated and come with the box.
5) Is the cover on this B-Line 3R box hinged or screw-on?
Screw cover, secured with plated screws. There is no hinge and no latch, so it is meant for enclosures you open occasionally, not for anything you need to get into daily. If you want regular access, look for a hinged-cover Type 3R enclosure instead.
6) Is this B-Line junction box UL listed for a commercial job?
The enclosure is built to UL 50, the standard covering enclosures for electrical equipment. That, with the Type 3R rating, is what most specs on an outdoor junction box call out. It is made in the US if your project carries a domestic sourcing requirement.
7) What part number do I order for this 8 x 8 x 6 B-Line screw cover enclosure?
The catalog number is 886 RTSCGV from Eaton's B-Line series. The 886 reads as the size, 8 inch height by 8 inch width by 6 inch depth, and RTSCGV is the screw cover galvanized rainproof enclosure designation. Quote that full number so you do not get the same dimensions in a different cover or finish.
8) What gauge steel is the 886 RTSCGV made from, and is it painted?
16 gauge galvanized steel, left unfinished, so the visible color is the grey of the galvanizing rather than a paint coat. If the box will be seen on a finished elevation and the owner expects a painted enclosure, this is not the one, or plan to prime and paint it in the field.
