B-LINE 121248 G NK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the Eaton B-Line 121248 G NK wireway, and how much wire can it carry?
It's a 12 inch by 12 inch cross section, 48 inches long. The 12 x 12 opening is the number that governs your fill calculation, and the 48 inch length is a standard straight section you couple end to end to make longer runs.
2) Is this wireway rated for outdoor or wet locations?
No. The 121248 G NK is a NEMA 1 enclosure, which is indoor, general purpose only. It gives protection against incidental contact with the enclosed conductors and falling dirt, not against rain, washdown or corrosive atmospheres. For an outdoor or damp run you need a NEMA 3R gasketed wireway instead.
3) Does the 121248 G NK wireway come with knockouts for conduit?
No knockouts. The NK in the model designation means the body ships blank, so you lay out and punch your own conduit entries wherever the run needs them. If you want factory knockouts on standard centers, order the knockout version rather than the NK.
4) How does the cover come off for pulling wire?
The cover is a screw cover secured with plated screws, so it lifts off completely once the screws are out. That gives you a fully open trough the whole 48 inch length for laying in conductors, which is easier on a long pull than a hinged cover but means you are handling loose screws on a ladder.
5) What gauge steel is this wireway and will the gray finish match my existing gear?
14 gauge steel with an ANSI 61 gray finish. ANSI 61 is the standard gray used on most industrial panelboards, control enclosures and gutter, so a run of this will match adjacent switchgear rather than standing out.
6) Is the Eaton B-Line 121248 G NK wireway approved for use in Canada?
It's CSA Certified, so it's acceptable for Canadian installations as well as US work.
7) Can I use this 48 inch wireway section as a junction or pull box for conduit runs?
That's a common use. With a 12 x 12 cross section and no factory knockouts, you punch entries where your conduits land and use the trough as a gutter for splices and taps, then screw the cover back on. Because it's NEMA 1, keep that application indoors and dry.
8) What is the difference between the G NK wireway and a knockout version?
Same 12 x 12 by 48 inch steel trough, same NEMA 1 screw-cover construction. The difference is purely the body: G NK ships with no knockouts so you drill to suit, while the knockout version arrives with pre-punched conduit entries on set centers. Pick NK when your conduit layout is custom or when you want no unused openings in the enclosure.
