B-LINE 1212 TCF – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Eaton B-Line 1212 TCF telephone cabinet a flush mount or surface mount box?
Flush mount. The 1212 TCF is built to recess into the wall cavity, so you need a framed opening between studs rather than a surface-mounted backplate. If the wall is finished block or you need it hung on the face, a flush cabinet is the wrong choice.
2) What size rough opening do I need for the B-Line 1212 TCF utility cabinet?
The cabinet measures 8 x 8 x 8 inches (height, width, and depth all stated at 8 in), so it drops between standard 16 inch on center studs with room to spare and needs a wall cavity at least 8 inches deep front to back. At 6 lb it does not need blocking beyond normal framing.
3) Is a NEMA 12 telephone termination cabinet OK outdoors or in a wet area?
No. NEMA 12 is an indoor rating covering dust, falling dirt, and dripping noncorrosive liquids. For a loading dock, exterior wall, or washdown area you want a NEMA 3R or 4X enclosure instead. Keep the 1212 TCF to indoor telecom closets, corridors, and equipment rooms.
4) What gauge steel is the B-Line 1212 TCF cabinet and what finish does it come in?
14 gauge steel, painted ANSI 61 gray. That is the standard gray used across most electrical gear, so it blends with panelboards and other enclosures already in a telecom or electrical room without repainting.
5) What is a Type 1 telephone termination cabinet actually used for?
It houses low voltage telephone and communications terminations behind a closed steel door, keeping the punch blocks and wiring out of reach. The stated application is protecting against contact with the enclosed equipment, not weather protection or load-bearing duty.
6) How do I order the right B-Line telephone cabinet, and what is the part number for the 8 inch flush version?
Order by catalog number 1212 TCF from Eaton's B-Line series. There is one configuration: 8 x 8 x 8 inches, NEMA 12, ANSI 61 gray, flush mount. There are no finish or size options to specify on this model.
