B-LINE 88-12LE45B – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line 88-12LE45B elbow fit 8 x 8 wireway?
Yes. The Eaton B-Line 88-12LE45B is sized for 8 inch by 8 inch wireway, with a stated 8 inch height and 8 inch width, and a depth of 5.81 inches. It is a 45 degree elbow with the opening on the inside of the turn. Match it to 8x8 trough of the same NEMA 12 series so the flanges and covers line up.
2) Is this elbow rated for a dusty or oily plant environment?
It is a NEMA 12 rated steel fitting, which is the enclosure type used indoors against falling dirt, circulating dust, lint and dripping non-corrosive liquids. It is UL Listed. NEMA 12 is not a washdown or outdoor rating, so for hosedown areas or exterior runs you want a NEMA 3R or 4 wireway system instead.
3) What does inside opening mean on a 45 degree wireway elbow, and when do I need the outside version instead?
Inside opening means the access opening and cover sit on the inner radius of the 45 degree turn. Pick it when the wireway bends toward the wall or equipment and you need to reach the conductors from the short side of the turn. If your run turns the other way and the accessible face is on the long side of the bend, you need the outside opening version of the same 8x8 NEMA 12 fitting. Order by which face you can physically get a hand and a cover into after it is mounted.
4) Can I lay conductors into this elbow instead of pulling them through?
Yes, it is a lay-in fitting. The cover comes off and the conductors drop straight into the trough at the 45 degree turn, so you are not pulling cable around a bend. That is the reason to use a lay-in elbow rather than making the turn with conduit and a pull box.
5) How heavy is the 88-12LE45B and do I need extra support at the bend?
The fitting weighs 8 lb on its own, before conductors. It is steel, 8 by 8 inches with a 5.81 inch depth. On a horizontal run, hang support close to each side of the elbow rather than relying on the straight sections to carry the turn plus the weight of the cable sitting in it.
