B-LINE 6648-12LW – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Eaton B-Line 6648-12LW wireway rated for wet or oily areas?
The 6648-12LW is a NEMA 12 wireway with an oil-resistant gasket under the cover, so it is built for indoor areas with dust, falling dirt, and dripping non-corrosive liquids such as machine shops and process floors. NEMA 12 is not a wet-location or outdoor rating, so if the run is exposed to rain, washdown, or hose-directed water you need a NEMA 3R or 4 type trough instead.
2) How do you mount a 6 x 6 B-Line wireway to a wall or ceiling?
This trough is set up for wireway hangers, so the run is carried on hangers rather than bolted flat to a surface. Hangers are ordered separately from the trough section. At 28.43 lb per 48 inch section before conductors, plan hanger spacing and anchors for the loaded weight of the full run.
3) Is this Eaton B-Line wireway approved for use in Canada?
The 12LW wireway carries CSA C22.2 certification, which is what an inspector looks for on a Canadian job. Note the enclosure type is NEMA 12, indoor only.
4) Do I need fittings or elbows to connect wireway sections together?
A 6648-12LW section is the straight 48 inch trough body only. Connectors, end plates, elbows, tees, and the wireway hangers used to support it are separate items, so take off the full run including every change of direction and both end closures before you order.
5) What gauge steel is the 6648-12LW wireway and what color does it come in?
Steel body in 14 gauge, finished in ANSI 61 gray. That is the standard gray used on most switchgear, panelboards, and control enclosures, so a run of this trough matches existing gear in an industrial plant room without repainting.
