B-LINE 22-12LE45C – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is this wireway elbow rated for dusty or dripping indoor areas?
The 22-12LE45C is a NEMA 12 fitting and is UL Listed. NEMA 12 covers indoor use against falling dirt, circulating dust, lint and dripping non-corrosive liquids. It is not a washdown or outdoor rating, so for wet or rain-exposed locations you want a NEMA 3R wireway system instead.
2) What does "top opening" mean on a 45 degree lay-in wireway elbow?
Top opening means the removable cover is on the upper face of the elbow, so you drop conductors straight down into the fitting instead of pulling them through. That is the lay-in wiring method this fitting uses. Practically, it means you need clearance above the elbow to get the cover off; if your run turns where the accessible face is the side, a side-opening elbow is the one to order.
3) What is the overall depth of this 45 degree wireway elbow so I can lay out the turn?
The fitting measures 2.5 in height, 2.5 in width and 2.65 in length/depth. Use the 2.65 inch figure when you are dimensioning the turn on the drawing so the cut lengths of the straight wireway sections either side of the elbow come out right.
4) How heavy is the 2.5 inch B-Line 45 degree wireway elbow for overhead support planning?
The elbow weighs 2.895 lb on its own. That is light enough that it does not usually drive the hanger spacing by itself, but on a suspended run the fitting plus the conductors laid into it still wants a support near the direction change rather than letting the elbow carry the cantilever of the adjoining sections.
5) Is the B-Line 22-12LE45C elbow steel or aluminum, and can I paint it to match a run?
It is steel. Steel construction is what the NEMA 12 enclosure rating on this line is built around, and it takes field paint the same way the mating wireway body does. If your environment calls for corrosion resistance beyond a painted steel finish, a stainless or aluminum wireway system is the better path.
6) Does the Eaton B-Line wireway elbow come with the cover and hardware?
The 22-12LE45C is supplied as a complete lay-in elbow fitting with its removable top cover. The screws or clamps that join it to the adjoining wireway sections follow whatever the B-Line 22 series trough you are tying into uses, so match the connection hardware to the straight sections already on the job.
