B-Line Eaton series wireway, 2.5" height, 60" length, 2.5" width, HS wireway, Thru holes, 19 top knockouts, 19 bottom knockouts, Hinged cover, 1, Ste

The 2260 HS is a 2-1/2 by 2-1/2 inch cross section, 60 inches long, so it gives you 6.25 square inches of interior area. Standard NEC practice is to fill a wireway to no more than 20 percent of its cross sectional area with conductors, which works out to about 1.25 square inches of conductor fill here. It is the small trough size, meant for control panel gutter runs and short feeder taps rather than heavy multi-circuit distribution.

No. The 2260 HS is a NEMA 1 enclosure, which is indoor, dry location only, general purpose protection against incidental contact and falling dirt. It has no gasketing. For outdoor, washdown, or damp areas you need a NEMA 3R or NEMA 4 raintight or watertight trough instead.

The cover is hinged along the length, so it swings open in place without lifting a separate lid off the trough, and it is secured to the body with plated screws. That matters on a panel backboard where there is no clearance above the trough to lift a screw cover clear. Loosen the screws, swing it open, and the full 60 inch run is accessible for adding or re-landing conductors.

It mounts with thru holes in the back of the trough, so you fasten straight through the body into the backboard, strut, or wall anchors. No separate mounting bracket or standoff kit is part of the trough; you supply the fasteners suited to your surface. At 11.493 lb for the 60 inch section, two people are not needed, but support it at both ends before you land the screws.

It comes with 19 knockouts on the top and 19 on the bottom, so for most conduit entries along a panel run you punch out what you need rather than drilling and deburring 16 gauge steel in place. Side and end penetrations beyond those locations would have to be field cut.

It is certified to CSA C22.2, the Canadian standard set for electrical enclosures, so it is acceptable for Canadian installations as well as US work. Confirm the NEMA 1 indoor rating suits the location either way.

Yes, wireway is built to be run in sections and coupled end to end, so a longer run is a matter of ordering additional 60 inch lengths of the same 2-1/2 by 2-1/2 inch size plus the matching couplers, elbows, and end plates from the same B-Line series. Mixing trough sizes in one run means you need a reducer fitting at the transition, so keep the cross section consistent where you can.

Pick hinged, like the 2260 HS, where you expect to get back into the trough: control panels, terminal gutters, anywhere circuits get added or re-landed. The cover stays captive to the body on its hinge so nothing gets set down or lost, and it still clamps shut on plated screws. A plain screw cover trough makes sense on a run that gets wired once and closed, or where you want the lowest profile. Both are the same NEMA 1 indoor duty.

Steel at 16 gauge, painted ANSI 61 gray. ANSI 61 is the standard gray used on most industrial control panels, disconnects, and enclosures, so a run of this trough will sit against existing switchgear without standing out. For a facility standardizing on one look across panel rooms, that is the color you are already living with.
