B-Line Eaton series wireway cross fitting, Lay-in, Wireway cross fitting, 1 rated, Steel, ANSI 61 gray painted

No. The 22 LTX cross fitting is NEMA 1 rated, which is indoor, general-purpose enclosure protection only. It keeps fingers and falling dirt out but offers no protection against rain, washdown, or dust ingress. For an outdoor run or any location exposed to water you need a NEMA 3R or 4 rated wireway and matching fittings instead.

It is sized for 2-1/2 inch square lay-in wireway. The fitting measures 2.5 in height by 2.5 in width with a 4.5 in length/depth, so it mates with 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 trough on all four legs of the cross.

Lay-in means the cover comes off and conductors drop straight into the trough rather than being pulled through. On a four-way intersection that is the difference between laying cable in by hand and fishing it around two corners. The 22 LTX is a lay-in fitting, so an electrician can route wire through the cross, then close the cover.

Yes, the 22 LTX carries a UL Listed marking, which is what most inspectors and institutional specs look for on wireway and its fittings.

Where four runs actually meet at one point, a single cross like the 22 LTX is the cleaner call: one fitting, four connections, one cover to open. Two tees back to back adds a short length of trough between them, another pair of joints, and more length to your run. Use tees only where the branch lines are offset from each other rather than intersecting at a single point.

Steel construction with an ANSI 61 gray painted finish, which is the standard gray used across most industrial electrical enclosures and wireway, so it matches adjacent panels and trough on a typical plant or mechanical room install.

The fitting weighs 1.495 lb on its own, so the fitting itself is light enough for one hand. Support still comes from the wireway runs and hangers on either side of it; a cross is not a substitute for hanging the trough per the run's support spacing.
