B-LINE 8818 G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Eaton B-Line 8818 G wireway rated for outdoor or wet locations?
No. The 8818 G is a NEMA 1 enclosure, which means general purpose indoor use only, with no protection against rain, dust or washdown. For an outdoor run or a damp mechanical room you need a NEMA 3R raintight wireway instead. The 8818 G is CSA Certified.
2) What are the actual cross section and length of the 8818 G wireway?
It is an 8 x 8 inch trough, 18 inches long. The 8 by 8 cross section is the usable gutter size for calculating your conductor fill, and the 18 inch length makes it a short section, commonly used as a pull or junction box between longer runs rather than as the run itself. Shipping weight is about 10.153 lb.
3) How do you open this wireway cover to pull wire, and do you need tools?
The cover is a screw cover secured with plated screws, so you need a driver to open it. That is fine for a junction point you rarely touch, but if you are going to be pulling and re-pulling conductors regularly, a hinged cover wireway is faster to work in. Screw covers do hold the gasket line tighter and are less likely to be left open on a job.
4) How does the 8818 G wireway mount, and is mounting hardware included?
It mounts by thru holes in the body, so you fasten it directly to a wall, strut or backboard with your own screws, bolts or lag hardware sized for the substrate. Nothing in the trough listing supplies those fasteners, and hangers or strut for a suspended run are separate items.
5) Does this 18 inch section come with knockouts already, or do I have to punch my own?
There are 5 knockouts on the top and 5 on the bottom, so conduit can enter and leave the section without field punching. Side and end connections into adjoining trough sections still need to be made with the appropriate connector or coupling, which is ordered separately.
6) What is the exact part number to order for an 8 x 8 x 18 inch NEMA 1 screw cover wireway from B-Line?
Order Eaton B-Line model 8818 G. The number follows the trough convention: 8 by 8 inch cross section, 18 inch length, G series screw cover NEMA 1 steel wireway.
7) What gauge steel is the B-Line 8818 wireway, and will the gray finish match the panels already on the wall?
The body is 14 gauge steel finished in ANSI 61 gray, the standard gray used on most switchgear, panelboards and industrial control enclosures, so it will read as a match alongside existing electrical equipment in a plant or mechanical room.
