B-LINE 6472 G NK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What are the actual cross-section dimensions of the B-Line 6472 G NK wireway, and how long is one section?
The Eaton B-Line 6472 G NK is a 6 inch by 4 inch trough running 72 inches long, so it gives you a 6 foot section per piece. That cross section is what you size your conduit stubs and fill calculation around, and the 6 foot length is the run increment you plan to, since longer runs are built by coupling sections end to end.
2) Does the B-Line 6472 wireway come with knockouts, or do I have to punch my own conduit openings?
No knockouts. The G NK designation means no knockouts, so the trough body ships solid and every conduit entry gets field-punched where you want it. That is the right choice when your conduit layout does not line up with a factory punch pattern, but budget shop time for a knockout punch or hole saw on the job.
3) Is this B-Line wireway rated for outdoor or wet locations?
No. The 6472 G NK is a NEMA 1 enclosure, which is general purpose indoor only. It gives you protection against incidental contact with the enclosed wiring and falling dirt, but no rain, sleet, or washdown protection. For an exterior wall, a loading dock, or anywhere subject to hose-down, you need a NEMA 3R or NEMA 4 raintight wireway instead.
4) How does the cover come off on the 6472 G NK, and can I get back into it after the wire is pulled?
The cover is a removable screw cover held on with plated screws along the length. Back the screws out and the full side of the trough opens up, which is how you lay wire in rather than pulling it. It is reopenable for future adds, but each access means running the screws out and back in, so if you expect frequent changes a hinged-cover trough is faster to work.
5) Is the B-Line 6472 G NK wireway third-party certified for an inspected commercial install?
It is CSA Certified. For a spec that calls for a listed general purpose wireway on a commercial or institutional job, that is the mark on the label, along with the NEMA 1 enclosure type.
6) What is the difference between the 6472 G NK and a wireway ordered with knockouts?
Same 6 by 4 by 72 inch NEMA 1 steel trough either way. The NK version is supplied blank so you punch conduit entries to suit the field layout; a knockout version arrives with a factory pattern of concentric knockouts along the sides and bottom. Pick knockouts when your conduit spacing is regular and you want to save labor, pick NK when the entries are custom or you want no unused openings in the enclosure.
7) What is the exact Eaton part number for this 6 inch by 4 inch by 72 inch screw cover wireway?
The catalog number is 6472 G NK from Eaton's B-Line series. In that number the 6 and 4 are the trough height and width in inches, 72 is the length, and G NK identifies the no-knockout screw cover version.
8) What gauge steel is the 6472 wireway and what is the finish?
Body and cover are 16 gauge steel finished in ANSI 61 gray. That is the standard gray on most switchgear and industrial control enclosures, so a run of this trough matches the panels and disconnects it feeds without repainting. The 16 gauge wall is what lets it hold shape over a 6 foot unsupported-ish span between mounting points.
