B-LINE 2236 HS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size wireway is the B-Line 2236 HS and how long is a stick?
It's a 2.5 x 2.5 inch cross section running 36 inches long. That's the smallest common lay-in trough size, so it suits short gutter runs between panels, control cabinets, or a row of disconnects where you only need to carry a modest bundle of conductors. Weight is about 6.879 lb per section.
2) Is the B-Line 2236 HS wireway rated for outdoor or wet locations?
No. It's a NEMA 1 enclosure, which is indoor general purpose only, protecting against incidental contact and falling dirt. For an exterior wall, a wash-down area, or anywhere water can hit it, you need a NEMA 3R or NEMA 4 raintight/watertight wireway instead.
3) Is a 2.5 inch square wireway big enough for my feeder pull?
A 2.5 x 2.5 inch trough gives roughly 6.25 square inches of interior area before deductions, and conductor fill in a wireway is limited to 20 percent of the cross section. That makes it a control and branch-circuit gutter, not a feeder trough. If you're pulling large feeders or splicing heavy conductors, step up to a 4 x 4 or 6 x 6 wireway.
4) Does the 2236 HS wireway cover hinge open, or do I have to lift it off?
Hinged cover. You swing it open to lay conductors in rather than lifting a screw-on cover free and balancing it, which matters in tight rooms and on overhead runs. The cover is secured to the body with plated screws once it's closed.
5) How many knockouts does this 36 inch B-Line wireway have and where are they?
Eleven knockouts along the top and eleven along the bottom of the 36 inch body, so you can drop conduit in and out at regular intervals down the run without drilling. Sides are not knocked out.
6) How does the 2236 HS wireway mount to a wall or backboard?
Through holes in the back of the trough, so it bolts flat to a wall, plywood backboard, or Unistrut with your own fasteners. Mounting hardware isn't part of the trough, so pick anchors to suit the substrate and the weight of the filled run (the empty section is about 6.879 lb).
7) Is this B-Line wireway approved for use on a job in Canada?
It carries CSA C22.2 certification, so it's recognized for Canadian installations as well as US work. Confirm the NEMA 1 indoor rating suits the location, since that's the limiting factor on where it can go, not the certification.
8) What do I order to extend a 2236 HS wireway run past 36 inches or turn a corner?
The 2236 HS is a straight 36 inch trough section only. To lengthen a run you add more 2.5 x 2.5 sections and join them with connectors; for direction changes you need matching 2.5 x 2.5 elbows, tees, or end plates from the same series. Fittings are separate items, so size them to the same 2.5 inch square cross section or they won't line up.
9) What gauge steel and what finish is the B-Line 2236 HS wireway?
16 gauge steel, painted ANSI 61 gray. That's the standard gray used on most switchgear and panelboards, so a run of this trough matches existing gear in a typical electrical room rather than standing out.
