B-LINE 44-12LE45A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line 44-12LE45A elbow fit a 4 x 4 wireway run?
Yes. Model 44-12LE45A is sized for 4 inch by 4 inch wireway, with a 4 inch height and 4 inch width at the openings and a 3.7 inch length/depth on the body. It is a 45 degree elbow, so it turns a 4 x 4 trough run through a half-right angle rather than a full 90.
2) Is this wireway elbow rated for a dusty or dripping industrial area?
It is a NEMA 12 fitting, which covers indoor protection against falling dirt, circulating dust, lint and dripping non-corrosive liquids. It is not a wet-location or outdoor rating, so for washdown or exterior runs you want a NEMA 3R or 4 wireway system instead. The elbow is also UL Listed.
3) What does "top opening" mean on a 45 degree wireway elbow, and does it change how I mount it?
Top opening means the removable cover is on the top face of the elbow, so conductors lay in from above once the cover is off. Mount it with that face accessible, otherwise you lose the lay-in advantage and have to pull wire through. On the 44-12LE45A the wiring method is lay-in, which is what makes it quick to dress conductors around the bend.
4) Does the 44-12LE45A come with connectors or hardware to join it to the wireway sections?
What you receive is the 45 degree top-opening elbow body with its lay-in cover. Joining hardware and connectors for the adjoining 4 x 4 trough sections are separate items, so order those alongside the elbow to finish the run.
5) Is this B-Line elbow steel or aluminum, and will it hold up in a plant environment?
The body is steel. Paired with the NEMA 12 rating it suits indoor industrial spaces, plant floors, and mechanical rooms where dust and incidental dripping are the concern. For corrosive or chemical exposure, steel wireway is not the right choice.
6) How heavy is the 4 x 4 lay-in 45 degree wireway elbow for overhead support planning?
3 lb. Light enough that support spacing for the run itself, not the fitting, drives your hanger layout on a 4 x 4 trough.
