B-LINE 2260-12LW – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Eaton B-Line 2260-12LW wireway a 2-1/2 inch square trough?
Yes. The 2260-12LW is a 2.5 by 2.5 inch cross section running 60 inches long, so it is the small square trough size used for short feeder runs and panel-to-panel gutter work where a 4 by 4 would be oversized. Body is 14 gauge steel in ANSI 61 gray.
2) Can this B-Line wireway be used in a wet or washdown area?
No. The 2260-12LW is a NEMA 12 enclosure with an oil-resistant gasket, which covers dust, falling dirt, and dripping non-corrosive liquids on indoor industrial floors. It is not rated for hosedown, outdoor exposure, or wet locations. For those you need a NEMA 3R or 4 raintight trough instead.
3) How does the cover open on the 12LW wireway, and do I need tools?
The cover is hinged, hung on butt hinges with quick-release latches, so it swings open by hand without removing screws. That matters on a maintenance run where you are pulling and re-terminating conductors repeatedly. Plan clearance on one side of the trough for the cover to swing clear.
4) How is this wireway supported, and how much weight will the hangers carry?
It mounts with a wireway hanger rather than direct bolting through the back, so it is designed to be suspended or bracket-supported along the run. The 60 inch section weighs 16.669 lb empty, so hanger spacing has to carry that plus the conductor fill.
5) Is this B-Line trough approved for a Canadian job?
The 2260-12LW carries CSA C22.2 certification, which is what an inspector on a Canadian installation will be looking for on a wireway.
6) Will 14 gauge steel hold up in a plant environment?
14 gauge is the heavier end of the range used for lay-in wireway, and the ANSI 61 gray finish is the standard industrial gray that matches most panelboards and control enclosures, so a run of 12LW trough blends with existing gear in a plant or MRO setting.
