B-LINE 88-12LE45A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line 88-12LE45A elbow fit an 8 x 8 inch wireway run?
Yes. The 88-12LE45A is built for 8 inch by 8 inch wireway, with a stated product height of 8 inches and width of 8 inches. It bolts between two straight sections of the same 8x8 size to turn the run 45 degrees. If your trough is 4x4 or 6x6, this is the wrong size fitting.
2) Is this B-Line wireway elbow rated for a washdown or dusty plant environment?
It is a NEMA 12 fitting, so it is intended for indoor use against dust, falling dirt and dripping non-corrosive liquids. That covers most manufacturing floors and mechanical rooms. It is not a NEMA 3R or 4X rating, so do not use it outdoors or in a hose-down area.
3) Does the 88-12LE45A elbow let you lay conductors in, or do you have to pull them through?
Lay-in. The top of the elbow opens so conductors drop straight into the trough rather than being fished around the corner, which is the whole reason to use wireway instead of conduit on a congested run. The cover reattaches with the latches supplied.
4) Do I need to buy separate hardware to connect this wireway elbow to the straight sections?
No extra hardware kit is needed for the fitting itself. The 88-12LE45A ships with zinc plated hardware and latches, so the connection hardware and the cover latches are in the box. You will still need your own supports or hangers for the run.
5) Is this wireway elbow UL Listed for an inspected commercial job?
Yes, the 88-12LE45A carries a UL Listing, which is what an AHJ looks for on a lay-in wireway system. Keep the whole run in listed components so the inspection holds together.
6) How much space do I need to allow for a 45 degree turn in an 8x8 wireway?
Allow for the fitting's 5.23 inch depth plus the 8 inch trough profile when you lay out the offset. That is the number to work from when the turn is tight to a wall or has to clear other trades' work overhead.
7) Should I use a 45 degree elbow or a 90 degree elbow on my wireway run?
Use the 45 when you are jogging around an obstruction or easing a run into a panel at an angle, which keeps the bend radius on large conductors gentler than a hard corner. Use a 90 when the run has to turn square, such as dropping down a wall from a horizontal trough. Both are available as lay-in top opening fittings in the 8x8 size.
8) Is this elbow steel or aluminum, and how heavy is it to hang?
Steel construction, 8 pounds for the fitting. That is light enough for one person to hold in place while bolting up, but plan support spacing for a steel trough rather than an aluminum one.
