B-LINE 2212 HSNK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size wireway is the B-Line 2212 HSNK, and how much wire will a 2.5 x 2.5 inch trough carry?
The Eaton B-Line 2212 HSNK is a 2.5 inch by 2.5 inch cross section trough, 12 inches long. That is the small end of the lay-in wireway range, so it suits short jumps between panels, control cabinets, or gutter extensions rather than a heavily filled feeder run. If you are pulling a large bundle, step up to a 4 x 4 or 6 x 6 trough instead of trying to fill this one.
2) Is the 2212 HSNK wireway rated for outdoor or wet locations?
No. The 2212 HSNK is a NEMA 1 enclosure, which is indoor, dry location only, intended to keep out falling dirt and incidental contact. For a rooftop, washdown, or exterior run you need a NEMA 3R or 4 raintight trough instead.
3) Does this B-Line wireway come with knockouts for conduit, or do I have to drill it?
No knockouts. The 2212 HSNK body is blank, so every conduit entry gets field punched where you want it. In 16 gauge steel that is a standard hole saw or knockout punch job. If you would rather not punch, order a knockout-style wireway body instead.
4) How does the cover open on the 2212 HSNK, and can I lay conductors in from the side?
It has a hinged cover, so the lid swings open and stays with the body rather than coming off in your hand on a ladder. Conductors lay in from the open side once the cover is swung back. The cover is secured to the body with plated screws when closed.
5) How is this 12 inch wireway section mounted to a wall or backpan?
Mounting is through holes in the body, so it fastens flat to a wall, strut, or backpan with your own screws or bolts. Fasteners and mounting hardware are not part of the trough, so pick them to match the substrate. At 2.258 pounds for the 12 inch section, it is light enough that a pair of anchors per section is typically all the support it needs.
6) Is the 2212 HSNK wireway approved for Canadian work?
It carries CSA C22.2 certification, so it can be specified on Canadian jobs under the CEC as well as on US work.
7) What exact part number do I order for the 2.5 x 2.5 inch, 12 inch hinged B-Line wireway?
Order Eaton B-Line 2212 HSNK. That number covers the 2.5 by 2.5 inch, 12 inch long steel trough with the hinged cover, no knockouts, thru-hole mounting, ANSI 61 gray.
8) Will this wireway match the gray on my existing panels and gutter?
The finish is ANSI 61 gray, the standard gray used on most commercial electrical enclosures and switchgear, so it lines up with existing ANSI 61 panelboards and troughs on the same wall. Steel body, 16 gauge.
