B-LINE 886 RTSCGV NK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Eaton B-Line 886 RTSCGV NK junction box be mounted outdoors?
Yes. The 886 RTSCGV NK is a NEMA 3R enclosure, which means it is built for outdoor use where falling rain, sleet and external ice formation are the concern. It has a rainhood over the cover and is made from galvanized steel. NEMA 3R is not a washdown or hosedown rating, so if the box will see direct pressure spray or heavy dust ingress you want a 4 or 4X box instead.
2) What are the inside dimensions of the 886 RTSCGV NK enclosure, and will a run of conduit and splices fit?
The box measures 8 inches high, 8 inches wide and 6 inches deep. That 6 inch depth is what usually decides the job: it gives room for conduit hubs, connectors and wire splices behind the cover rather than forcing you to stack conductors against the door. Body is 16 gauge galvanized steel and the whole unit weighs 5.7 lb.
3) Does this B-Line 886 box come with knockouts already punched?
No. The NK in 886 RTSCGV NK means no knockout, so every wall arrives solid. You drill or punch your own openings exactly where the conduit lands, which is the reason most spec writers pick a no-knockout box for a 3R application: an unused knockout on an outdoor box is a leak path. Plan on a step bit or knockout punch and the right rated hubs or fittings to keep the 3R rating intact.
4) How does the 886 RTSCGV NK enclosure attach to a wall?
It is a surface mount box with embossed thru holes formed into the back. The embossed bosses hold the box body off the mounting surface so water can drain behind it, and you fasten straight through them with your own anchors or screws sized to the substrate. No separate mounting feet or back panel brackets are involved.
5) Is the cover on the 886 RTSCGV NK hinged or does it come off completely?
It is a screw cover, not a hinged door, so the cover lifts away once the plated screws are backed out. That is fine for a pull box or splice point you rarely open. If the box is a point maintenance staff will be opening routinely, a hinged-door enclosure is the easier choice, since a loose screw cover has to be held or set down while you work.
6) Does this galvanized junction box need to be painted?
No paint is required. The 886 RTSCGV NK ships unfinished in galvanized steel, which reads grey, and the zinc coating is the corrosion protection. If the install has to match a painted equipment scheme you can prime and topcoat it, but the box functions as delivered outdoors without any added finish.
