B-LINE 33 FL SIDE – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line 33 FL SIDE elbow fit my 3 x 3 wireway run?
Yes, it's sized for 3 inch by 3 inch lay-in wireway. The fitting's own body dimensions are 3 inches high by 3 inches deep, matching the trough cross section, so it mates to standard 3x3 straight sections of the same Eaton B-Line series. It will not work on 4x4 or larger wireway; you need the elbow built for that size.
2) 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 90 degree turn is made in the horizontal plane, with the removable cover on the side face of the fitting. Use it where a wireway run has to turn left or right along a wall. If your run has to turn up or down (changing elevation), you want a flat or vertical elbow instead. The 33 FL SIDE is the horizontal-turn version, lay-in style so conductors drop in rather than being pulled.
3) Is this wireway elbow rated for outdoor or wet locations?
No. It's a NEMA 1 (degree of protection 1) fitting, which is indoor general purpose only, giving protection against incidental contact and falling dirt but not water. For outdoor, washdown, or damp areas you need a NEMA 3R or 4 rated wireway and matching fittings, not this one.
4) Is the B-Line 33 FL SIDE elbow UL Listed for an inspected commercial job?
It is UL Listed. That covers the fitting as part of a listed lay-in wireway system, which is what an inspector will look for on a commercial or institutional install when the wireway carries branch circuit conductors.
5) What finish is the 3x3 side-opening wireway elbow, and will it match existing gray wireway in my plant?
Steel with an ANSI 61 gray painted finish, the standard gray used across Eaton B-Line wireway and most switchgear and enclosures. If the existing run is ANSI 61 gray, this elbow will blend with it. Painted steel means indoor dry locations, and any field cuts or scratches should be touched up to stop surface rust.
6) Does the 33 FL SIDE elbow come with a cover and the connecting hardware?
The elbow is supplied as a lay-in fitting with its own removable cover, which is what makes it a lay-in rather than a pull fitting. Connector plates and screws used to tie into the adjoining straight sections are ordered per the Eaton B-Line wireway system for 3x3 trough, so confirm you have the connectors for each joint in the run.
7) What part number do I order for the B-Line 3x3 90 degree side-opening lay-in elbow?
The manufacturer part number is 33 FL SIDE. Read it as 3x3 trough, flanged, side opening. That's the only configuration under this number, so there's no finish or size option to specify beyond it.
