B-LINE 6648 G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the Eaton B-Line 6648 G wireway and how much wire can it carry?
The 6648 G is a 6 x 6 inch cross section, 48 inches long. That gives a nominal 36 square inch internal area before deductions, and NEC practice limits fill to 20 percent of the cross section for conductors running straight through. It is a screw-cover trough, so the cover comes fully off for laying conductors in rather than pulling them.
2) Is the B-Line 6648 wireway rated for outdoor or wet locations?
No. It is a NEMA 1 enclosure, which is indoor, dry location only, protecting against incidental contact and falling dirt. It is not sealed against rain, washdown, or dust. For an exterior run or a wet area you need a NEMA 3R raintight trough instead.
3) Do I need anything else to join two 48 inch sections of this wireway together?
Yes. A 6648 G is a straight 48 inch trough section only. Connectors, couplings, end plates, elbows, and tees are separate items, and so are the mounting fasteners. Plan the run so every joint, corner, and termination has its own fitting on the order.
4) How is the cover removed on the 6648 G wireway, and should I use hinged instead?
The cover is secured with plated screws and lifts completely off once they are out. That is the right choice for a run you lay up once and rarely reopen. If you are in a panel room where the trough gets opened repeatedly for adds and moves, a hinged-cover wireway saves the screw handling, at the cost of needing swing clearance in front of the trough.
5) Does the 6648 G wireway come with knockouts already punched?
Yes, 15 knockouts on the top and 15 on the bottom, so conduit can land on either face without field drilling along most of the 48 inch length. The sides and ends are not pre-punched for those, so any side entries are field work.
6) Is the Eaton B-Line 6648 G wireway certified for a job that requires listed electrical enclosures?
It is CSA Certified. That is the certification carried on the trough itself; specify accordingly if your submittal calls out a particular listing agency.
7) What gauge steel is the 6648 wireway and what color does it come in?
16 gauge steel, finished in ANSI 61 gray, which is the standard gray used on switchgear and panelboards, so a run will match adjacent electrical equipment in a typical commercial room.
