B-LINE 1212 TCS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Eaton B-Line 1212 TCS telephone termination cabinet rated for a washdown or dusty plant area?
The 1212 TCS carries a NEMA 12 rating, so it is built for indoor use against falling dust, dirt, and dripping non-corrosive liquids, and it is UL Listed. NEMA 12 is not a washdown or hosedown rating, so if the box will be sprayed directly or sits outdoors, you need a NEMA 4 or 4X style enclosure instead.
2) What are the inside dimensions of the B-Line 1212 TCS cabinet, and will it hold a 66 block?
The cabinet measures 8 by 8 by 8 inches (height, width, and depth all 8 in), which is a small junction-size box. That footprint suits a single small termination point or a splice; a standard 66 block backboard will not drop into an 8 inch square box, so step up to a larger cabinet in the series for full block terminations.
3) Does this Eaton B-Line utility cabinet surface mount, or is it flush mount?
Surface mount. The 1212 TCS is a surface-mount Type 1 telephone termination cabinet, so it hangs on the face of a wall or backboard rather than recessing into the wall cavity. If the spec on your drawing calls for a flush or recessed cabinet, this is the wrong version.
4) What gauge steel is the 1212 TCS telephone cabinet, and what is the finish?
Body is 16 gauge steel with an ANSI 61 gray painted finish, the standard gray used across commercial electrical gear so it matches adjacent panels and pull boxes. At 3.8 lb it is light enough for one person to hold and fasten on a wall.
5) What part number do I order for the 8 x 8 x 8 B-Line gray telephone termination cabinet?
Order Eaton B-Line model 1212 TCS. That is the single model in this configuration: NEMA 12, ANSI 61 gray, 16 gauge steel, surface mount telephone termination cabinet.
6) Will this cabinet keep maintenance staff from touching live terminations?
That is what it is for. The enclosure protects against contact with the enclosed equipment, so terminations and splices inside are shielded from incidental contact in a corridor, closet, or plant walkway. It is an enclosure only, so any blocks, terminal strips, or mounting plate you need inside are ordered separately.
