B-LINE HWK1612 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size window opening does the B-Line HWK1612 hinged window kit cover?
The HWK1612 is a 16 inch by 12 inch hinged window kit. The kit itself measures 16.5 in by 12.5 in by 16.5 in as supplied, so the enclosure door needs enough flat area around the cutout to take the frame. Order it against a 16 x 12 window cutout, not an enclosure size.
2) Will adding the HWK1612 window kit keep my enclosure rated for a dusty plant floor?
Yes. The HWK1612 window and door kit is rated NEMA 12, which is the rating for indoor protection against falling dirt, circulating dust, lint and dripping non-corrosive liquids. It is also UL Listed. Installed on a NEMA 12 enclosure it keeps the opening to that same rating.
3) What is the window in the B-Line HWK1612 made of, glass or plastic?
Polycarbonate, not glass. That matters on a plant floor or in a machine room where a panel can take a knock, and it keeps the weight down. The full kit weighs 8.699 lb.
4) Will the HWK1612 window kit match the gray finish on my existing Eaton B-Line enclosures?
The frame is ANSI 61 gray polyester powder coat, the same standard gray used on Eaton B-Line industrial enclosures, so it blends with a wall of existing panels rather than standing out.
5) Why put a hinged window kit on a control panel instead of just opening the door?
A window lets an electrician or operator read meters, HMI screens, breaker positions and indicator lights without opening the enclosure and exposing live components. The HWK1612 gives a clear view of mounted components, and because it is hinged you can still swing the window open for access to what is behind it.
6) Is the HWK1612 a complete kit or just the window pane?
It ships as a kit, described by Eaton B-Line as a drop shield kit under part number HWK1612, so you get the window assembly rather than a loose sheet of polycarbonate. The cutout in the enclosure door is field work on your end.
