B-LINE 44 FL SIDE – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line 44 FL SIDE elbow fit 4x4 wireway?
Yes. The B-Line Eaton series 44 FL SIDE is a 4 inch by 4 inch lay-in wireway elbow, so it mates to standard 4x4 trough. Overall the fitting measures 8.306 inches across, which is the space you need to allow at the corner for the body of the elbow itself.
2) Is this wireway elbow rated for outdoor or wet locations?
No. It carries a NEMA 1 degree of protection, which is indoor, general purpose enclosure only, with no protection against rain, dripping water or washdown. For outdoor or wet areas you need a NEMA 3R or 4 rated raceway and fittings throughout the run.
3) What does side opening mean on a 90 degree wireway elbow, and when do I use it instead of a flat elbow?
Side opening means the removable cover is on the side face of the elbow, so the turn is made in the horizontal plane, left or right along a wall. Use it where the run changes direction across the wall. If your run has to turn up or down, that is a flat or top opening elbow instead. The 44 FL SIDE is the side opening version.
4) What finish is the B-Line lay-in wireway elbow, and will it match the rest of my trough?
Steel with an ANSI 61 gray painted finish, which is the standard gray used across B-Line lay-in wireway and most competing steel trough, so it blends with existing runs and panel gear in the same gray. Painted steel is for dry indoor service, consistent with its NEMA 1 rating.
5) Can I lay conductors into this elbow instead of pulling them through?
Yes, that is the point of the lay-in design. Take the side cover off, drop the conductors into the open channel and around the turn, then replace the cover. No pulling through a closed fitting, which is why lay-in wireway is used for feeder and control wiring that gets added to over time.
6) What part number do I order for the B-Line 4x4 side opening 90 degree lay-in elbow?
Order manufacturer part number 44 FL SIDE, Eaton B-Line series. The 44 in the designation refers to the 4 inch by 4 inch cross section it fits.
7) How heavy is the 44 FL SIDE elbow, and do I need extra support at the corner?
The elbow weighs 3.619 lb on its own. Light enough for one person to hold in place while bolting up, but the corner is still where a run wants to sag, so support the trough on both sides of the fitting rather than hanging the elbow off the straight sections.
