B-LINE 44 L SIDE – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line 44 L SIDE elbow fit 4 x 4 wireway?
Yes. The Eaton B-Line 44 L SIDE elbow is built for 4 inch by 4 inch lay-in wireway, matching the 4 in height and 4 in width of standard 4x4 trough. It will not mate with 6x6 or 8x8 runs, which need an elbow sized to those cross sections.
2) What does side opening mean on a 90 degree wireway elbow, and when should I use it instead of a top or bottom opening elbow?
Side opening means the 90 degree turn is made in the horizontal plane, with the removable cover on the side of the fitting so conductors lay in from the side. Use it where a horizontal wireway run has to turn left or right along a wall. If your run has to change elevation, turning up or down, you want a top or bottom opening elbow instead. The 44 L SIDE is a lay-in fitting, so wires drop in rather than being pulled through.
3) Is this B-Line wireway elbow rated for outdoor or wet locations?
No. It is a NEMA 1 rated fitting, which is indoor, general purpose enclosure protection only, with no gasketing against water. For outdoor, washdown, or damp areas you need a NEMA 3R or 4 rated wireway and matching fittings throughout the run, since the whole system is only as tight as its weakest fitting.
4) How much space do I need to allow for this 90 degree wireway elbow in my layout?
Allow for a fitting measuring 4 x 4 x 7.09 inches, with the 7.09 inch dimension given as the length or depth. Lay that against your wall or ceiling layout before you cut wireway lengths, since the elbow consumes run length at the corner.
5) What part number do I order for a B-Line 4x4 side opening 90 degree wireway elbow?
Order Eaton B-Line model 44 L SIDE. That is the 4 inch by 4 inch, NEMA 1, galvanized steel, lay-in 90 degree elbow with the side opening.
6) What material and finish is the 4x4 lay-in wireway elbow, and will it hold up in a mechanical room?
It is galvanized steel, so it handles indoor industrial and mechanical room service and normal handling without the corrosion issues of bare steel. It is still a NEMA 1 fitting, so keep it out of wet or corrosive environments.
7) How heavy is the 44 L SIDE elbow, and does it need its own support?
The fitting weighs 2.916 lb, light enough that it does not need dedicated support on its own account. Support the adjoining wireway lengths per the run's normal spacing and the corner carries fine.
