B-LINE 1010 FL SIDE – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is this a side opening or top/bottom opening 90 degree wireway elbow?
Side opening. The 1010 FL SIDE turns the run horizontally, so it is the fitting you use when the trough changes direction across a wall rather than up or down. If your run needs to climb or drop, you want a top/bottom opening (up/down) 90 degree elbow instead in the same 10 x 10 size.
2) Can I use this B-Line elbow outdoors or in a washdown area?
No. It is a NEMA 1 (Degree of Protection 1) enclosure fitting, which means general purpose indoor use only, protecting against incidental contact and falling dirt. For outdoor, rain, or hosedown locations you need a NEMA 3R or NEMA 4 rated wireway elbow.
3) What does lay-in mean on this wireway elbow, and why does it matter for pulling wire?
Lay-in means the cover comes off so conductors drop straight into the trough instead of being pulled through. At a 90 degree turn that saves you the hardest pull on the job: you set the wire into the elbow by hand and replace the cover. It is the reason lay-in wireway is used for panel gutters and feeder distribution rather than conduit at tight corners.
4) What is the manufacturer part number for this B-Line side opening elbow?
Order it as Eaton B-Line 1010 FL SIDE. That designation carries the size (10 x 10), the flanged lay-in style, and the side opening direction, which is what distinguishes it from the up/down version of the same 90 degree elbow.
5) Will the gray finish match the rest of my existing B-Line wireway run?
The elbow is painted ANSI 61 gray, the standard industrial gray used across Eaton B-Line lay-in wireway, so it matches straight sections and other fittings in the same finish. If your existing trough is a different color or a galvanized/unpainted finish, expect a visible difference.
6) How heavy is this 10x10 wireway elbow, and does it need its own support?
It weighs 12.974 lb, and with an overall width of 14.31 inches it is a substantial steel fitting. At a change of direction like this, support the elbow itself rather than cantilevering it off the adjoining trough sections, especially with conductors laid in.
7) Is steel or aluminum better for a wireway elbow in my facility?
This fitting is painted steel, which is the normal choice for indoor industrial and commercial distribution: stronger, cheaper, and it takes the ANSI 61 gray paint system. Aluminum or stainless wireway is what you move to for corrosive or wet process areas, and that also means stepping up from NEMA 1 to a sealed rating.
