B-LINE 1212 L SWEEP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line 1212 L SWEEP elbow fit my 12 x 12 wireway run?
Yes. The Eaton B-Line 1212 L SWEEP is built for 12 inch by 12 inch lay-in wireway, with a 12 inch height and 12 inch width at the openings. It carries the run around a 90 degree turn in the same cross section, so no reducer is needed if your straight sections are 12 x 12.
2) How much space do I need to allow for a 12 x 12 sweep elbow on the wall?
Allow 16.09 inches of depth for the elbow body beyond the 12 inch opening face. That extra length is what makes it a sweep rather than a square corner, giving conductors a gentler bend radius at the turn. Lay out your straight sections and supports with that dimension in hand before you drill the wall.
3) Is this B-Line elbow suitable for outdoor or washdown areas?
No. The 1212 L SWEEP is a NEMA 1 enclosure rating, which is indoor use only and offers no protection against falling water, dust ingress, or corrosive washdown. For wet or outdoor locations you need a NEMA 3R or 4 rated wireway fitting instead.
4) What is a sweep elbow for compared with a standard 90 degree wireway elbow?
A sweep opening elbow turns the run with a curved back instead of a tight square corner. That matters where you are pulling large or stiff conductors, since the sweep keeps the bend easier on the insulation and makes the pull less punishing. A square 90 takes up less wall, so use that where space is tight and the conductors are small enough to lay in comfortably.
5) What does lay-in mean on this wireway elbow, and how are conductors installed?
Lay-in means the cover comes off so conductors are set into the trough from the side rather than pulled through a closed body. On a 90 degree turn that is the practical difference: you lay the wire into the sweep and replace the cover, instead of fighting a pull around a corner.
6) Will this elbow match the gray finish on the rest of my wireway run?
It is painted steel in ANSI 61 gray, which is the standard gray used across B-Line wireway straight sections and fittings, so a run assembled from that family will read as one continuous color. If your existing trough is a different gray or a powder coat from another maker, expect a visible difference.
