B-LINE 8812-12FW – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Eaton B-Line 8812-12FW wireway rated for wet or washdown areas?
No. The 8812-12FW is a NEMA 12 wireway, which covers indoor protection against dust, falling dirt and dripping non-corrosive liquids. It is not a NEMA 3R or 4X enclosure, so keep it out of outdoor, hosedown or washdown locations. The seal is a seamless poured-in-place gasket and the cover clamps down with heavy-duty hinges and screw clamps, which is what gets it to that dust-tight rating.
2) What size is the 8812-12FW wireway body, and is 12 inches the length of the trough?
The 8812-12FW measures 8 in height, 8 in width and 12 in length, so it is an 8 x 8 cross section in a 12 inch long section. That is a short straight length, commonly used as a filler piece or a pull section between longer runs rather than as the main raceway span. It weighs 11.12 lb.
3) Does this Eaton B-Line wireway come with mounting hardware, or do I need hangers separately?
Mounting is by wireway hanger. The hangers, plus any connectors, closing plates or couplings needed to tie this 12 inch section into the rest of your run, are separate items. Order the accessories for an 8 x 8 NEMA 12 trough so the gasketed joints stay dust-tight.
4) Hinged cover or screw cover wireway, which should I use?
The 8812-12FW has a hinged cover. Hinged is what you want where you will be pulling or re-pulling conductors regularly, or where the trough is mounted high and a loose cover would be a nuisance to handle on a ladder. Screw-cover troughs are the cheaper choice for a run you close once and rarely open. Here the cover swings on heavy-duty hinges and is secured with screw clamps, so it still clamps down on the gasket when closed.
5) Is the 8812-12FW certified for use in Canada?
It is certified to CSA C22.2, which is the Canadian standard set for electrical enclosures, so it is acceptable for Canadian installs. Material is 14 gauge steel with an ANSI 61 gray finish.
6) What is the exact part number to order this 8 x 8 hinged NEMA 12 wireway?
Order Eaton B-Line part number 8812-12FW. The number reads as an 8 x 8 body, 12 inches long, 12FW type (NEMA 12, hinged cover).
7) Will this wireway match the gray of the panels and gutter already in my electrical room?
It is finished in ANSI 61 gray, the standard gray used on most commercial panelboards, enclosures and wireway, so it lines up with existing equipment in a typical electrical room. Body is 14 gauge steel.
