B-LINE 6648-12FW – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Eaton B-Line 6648-12FW wireway rated for wet or washdown areas?
The 6648-12FW is a NEMA 12 wireway, which is a dust-tight and drip-tight enclosure for indoor industrial use, not a wet-location or washdown rating. It uses a seamless poured in-place gasket and a hinged cover pulled down by screw clamps to make that seal. For hosedown or outdoor runs you want a NEMA 3R or 4 wireway instead.
2) What size trough is the B-Line 6648-12FW and how long a section is it?
It is a 6 x 6 inch cross section, 48 inches long, so it gives you 36 square inches of interior area per section before derating. Sections are joined end to end to build out the run. Shipping weight is 28.73 lb per section, which is a one-man lift but plan hanger spacing for a steel trough of that mass.
3) How does a hinged cover wireway differ from a screw cover type, and which should I use?
On the 6648-12FW the cover is hinged and held closed by screw clamps, so it swings open and stays attached to the trough. That matters where you pull or re-pull conductors often, or where the run is overhead and a loose cover would be dropped. A screw cover version comes fully off, which can be easier for a one-time pull in tight overhead space but leaves you handling a separate 48 inch panel and a row of screws each time.
4) Does this wireway carry a CSA listing for a Canadian job?
The 6648-12FW is certified to CSA C22.2, so it can be specified on work requiring CSA-certified wireway.
5) What gauge steel and finish is the 6648-12FW wireway?
14 gauge steel, finished in ANSI 61 gray. That is the same gray used on most industrial panelboards and control enclosures, so a run will match existing switchgear in a plant or mechanical room without repainting.
