B-LINE 88-12FBC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size wireway does the Eaton B-Line 88-12FBC box connector fit?
The 88-12FBC box connector is built for 8 x 8 inch wireway. The fitting itself is listed at 8 in height and 8 in length/depth, with a 9.75 in width, so it mates to an 8 by 8 trough run and should not be used on 4 x 4 or 6 x 6 wireway.
2) Is the 88-12FBC rated for a dusty or dripping industrial environment?
It is a NEMA 12 fitting, which is the rating for indoor protection against falling dirt, circulating dust and dripping non-corrosive liquids. It is UL Listed. NEMA 12 is not a washdown or outdoor rating, so for hosedown or exterior runs you want NEMA 4 or 4X wireway and fittings instead.
3) What does a box connector do in a wireway run?
A box connector is the transition piece that joins a length of wireway to an enclosure or junction box, keeping conductors enclosed where the trough terminates at the cabinet. The Eaton B-Line 88-12FBC is the 8 x 8 inch NEMA 12 version, so the trough, the connector and the box it lands on all need to carry the same environmental rating for the run to hold NEMA 12.
4) Is the Eaton B-Line 88-12FBC steel or nonmetallic?
Steel. That makes it a match for painted steel NEMA 12 wireway systems and it can be bonded as part of the raceway. For corrosive or wet areas where you would want stainless or a nonmetallic trough, this is the wrong fitting.
5) How heavy is the 88-12FBC box connector, and will one person handle it overhead?
It weighs 3.296 lb, so a single electrician can hold it in place while starting the hardware on an overhead 8 x 8 run. It is a fitting only, ordered under model 88-12FBC, so the wireway sections, covers and any connecting hardware for the enclosure come separately.
