B-LINE 88 L SIDE – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line 88 L SIDE elbow fit my 8 x 8 wireway run?
Yes, the B-Line Eaton 88 L SIDE elbow is built for 8 by 8 inch wireway, with a stated 8 inch height and 8 inch width to match that trough size. Its overall length/depth is 12.09 inches, so leave room for that leg dimension where the run turns. It will not mate with 4 x 4, 6 x 6, or 12 x 12 wireway.
2) What does the side opening on this 90 degree wireway elbow mean for how the conductors run?
The opening is on the side, so the 88 L SIDE turns the run in the horizontal plane (left or right) rather than up or down. If you need the run to change elevation, you want a top or bottom opening elbow instead. The cover is lay-in style, so conductors drop into the fitting and get covered rather than being pulled through.
3) Is this wireway elbow rated for outdoor or wet locations?
No. The 88 L SIDE is a NEMA 1 (Degree of Protection 1) fitting, which is indoor, general purpose only, providing protection against incidental contact and falling dirt. For outdoors, washdown, or damp areas you need a NEMA 3R or 4 rated wireway fitting. Its galvanized steel construction resists corrosion, but the enclosure rating still governs where it can be installed.
4) Is the B-Line 88 L SIDE elbow UL Listed for inspection sign-off?
Yes, it is UL Listed, which is what an electrical inspector will look for on a wireway fitting in a commercial or institutional install. It is a NEMA 1 listing, so keep it in indoor, dry locations.
5) What is the exact part number I should order for the B-Line 8 x 8 lay-in side opening 90 degree elbow?
Order Eaton B-Line part number 88 L SIDE. That designation breaks down as the 8 x 8 inch trough size with a lay-in side opening 90 degree body in galvanized steel, NEMA 1.
6) How heavy is this 8 x 8 wireway elbow, and will one person hang it?
It weighs 9.147 lb, so a single installer can set it, though on an overhead run you will want the adjoining wireway sections supported before you bolt the elbow in. It is galvanized steel, not aluminum or plastic.
7) Does this elbow come with the cover and the connecting hardware?
The 88 L SIDE is a lay-in fitting, meaning it ships as the elbow body with its removable cover so conductors can be laid in. Splice plates, hangers, and any conduit hubs for entering the trough are separate items you order to suit the run.
