B-LINE 8848 HSNK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the Eaton B-Line 8848 HSNK wireway, and how much trough space does it give me?
The 8848 HSNK is an 8 inch by 8 inch cross section running 48 inches long. That 8x8 interior is what you size against your conductor fill when you are laying out a gutter run between panels or troughing above a control section.
2) Is the B-Line 8848 HSNK wireway suitable for outdoor or washdown locations?
No. The 8848 HSNK is a NEMA 1 enclosure, which is indoor general purpose only. It gives protection against incidental contact and falling dirt, not rain, sprayed water, or corrosive washdown. For a wet or outdoor run you need a NEMA 3R or 4 rated wireway instead.
3) Does the 8848 HSNK wireway come with knockouts already punched?
No knockouts. The 8848 HSNK ships as a blank 14 gauge steel trough, so every conduit entry gets field punched or hole sawed where you need it. That is the usual choice when the run is being coordinated on site rather than off a fixed drawing.
4) How does the cover open on the B-Line 8848 wireway, and can I get to the conductors after it is installed?
The cover is hinged along the length, so it swings open for pulling and dressing conductors without lifting a separate lid off the wall. Plated screws secure the cover to the body when it is closed. Hinged covers are the practical pick for a trough mounted high or over equipment where a loose cover is awkward to handle.
5) How does the 8848 HSNK wireway mount to a wall or strut?
It mounts through holes in the trough body, so you fasten it directly to the wall, backboard, or strut with your own hardware. No mounting brackets or fasteners are part of the wireway, so plan the anchors for a 28.28 lb empty trough plus conductor weight.
6) Is the Eaton B-Line 8848 HSNK wireway approved for use in Canada?
It is certified to CSA C22.2, so it is acceptable for Canadian installations as well as US work. Worth noting on submittals for cross border projects.
7) What part number do I order for the 8 x 8 x 48 inch hinged cover B-Line wireway?
The catalog number is 8848 HSNK from Eaton B-Line. The number reads out of the dimensions: 8 inch height, 8 inch width, 48 inch length, hinged screw cover with no knockouts.
8) Do I need connectors or end plates to build a run with the 8848 HSNK?
The 8848 HSNK is a single 48 inch trough section with its hinged cover. Closing plates, connectors, elbows, and hangers are separate items, so count how many sections your run takes and add the fittings for each joint and each open end before you order.
9) Will the 8848 HSNK match the gray finish on my existing panels and gutter?
It is painted ANSI 61 gray, the standard light gray used across most industrial panelboards, control enclosures, and gutter, so it blends with a typical electrical room lineup. Body is steel at 14 gauge.
