B-LINE 2236 G NK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the Eaton B-Line 2236 G NK wireway, and how much conduit fill does a 2.5 x 2.5 inch trough give me?
It's a 2-1/2 by 2-1/2 inch cross section running 36 inches long. That's the smallest of the standard lay-in trough sizes, so it suits control panel gutter runs, small feeder taps and tidying up a group of branch circuits rather than large feeder pulls. If you need more cross sectional area for conductor fill, step up to a 4x4 or 6x6 trough of the same series.
2) Is the 2236 G NK wireway suitable for outdoor or wet locations?
No. The 2236 G NK is a NEMA 1 enclosure, which is indoor, general purpose only, giving protection against incidental contact and falling dirt. It has no gasketing and the cover is held on with plated screws, not a sealed clamp. For a wet or outdoor run you need a NEMA 3R raintight trough instead.
3) Does this B-Line wireway come with knockouts, or do I have to punch my own holes?
No knockouts. The 2236 G NK is supplied blank, so every conduit entry gets punched where you want it on the job. That's the usual choice when entry locations aren't fixed yet; if you want factory knockouts on the sides and ends, order the knockout version of the trough instead.
4) How does the cover come off on this wireway, and can I get at the conductors after install?
Screw cover design. The full length cover lifts off once you back out the plated screws, so the trough becomes a completely open lay-in channel for pulling and dressing conductors, then the cover goes back on. It is not a hinged cover, so plan for clearance in front of the trough to remove the cover and somewhere to set it down.
5) Is the Eaton B-Line 2236 wireway third party certified for a spec job?
It is CSA Certified, which is what most specs and inspectors in Canada and many US jurisdictions want to see on a metal wireway. The part number to submit is 2236 G NK, Eaton B-Line series.
6) Can I join several 2236 G NK sections together for a longer run?
Yes, troughs of this series are built to run end to end in 36 inch sections to make up whatever length the wall needs. The connecting hardware and any elbows, tees, end plates or hangers are separate items, so count those into the order along with the number of 36 inch bodies.
7) What gauge steel and what finish is the 2236 G NK wireway?
16 gauge steel, painted ANSI 61 gray. That's the standard gray used across industrial control gear, so a run of this trough matches the panels, disconnects and enclosures already on most plant and mechanical room walls. The cover screws are plated.
