B-LINE 88-12LBC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the B-Line 88-12LBC box connector actually do in a wireway run?
The 88-12LBC is a box connector fitting for Eaton B-Line 8 x 8 inch wireway. It makes the transition from a run of wireway into an enclosure or junction box, so the wiring stays inside a continuous NEMA 12 raceway path instead of leaving it exposed at the box wall. It is a fitting, not a length of trough, so it is ordered in addition to the wireway sections.
2) Will this box connector fit a 6x6 or 4x4 wireway?
No. The 88-12LBC is sized for 8 inch by 8 inch wireway and its opening will not mate with a 4x4 or 6x6 trough. For those runs you need the box connector built for that cross section. The fitting itself measures 8 in height, 9.74 in width, and 9.375 in length/depth.
3) Is the 88-12LBC rated for a washdown or oil-splash area, or is it indoor dry only?
It is a NEMA 12 fitting, which covers indoor protection against dust, falling dirt, and dripping or splashing non-corrosive liquids such as coolant and oil. It is not a NEMA 4 or 4X rating, so it is not intended for hosedown or outdoor exposure. The connector is UL Listed.
4) Does the 88-12LBC keep the NEMA 12 rating of the wireway where it meets the enclosure?
Yes, that is the point of it. The connector is built as a NEMA 12 component so the dust-tight, drip-tight integrity of an 8 x 8 wireway run carries through the transition into the box, provided the gasketing and all fasteners are installed as intended. It is UL Listed.
5) Is this box connector steel or aluminum, and what is the finish?
Steel, with an ANSI 61 gray painted finish, which is the standard gray Eaton B-Line uses across the wireway line. That means the fitting matches the color of the 8 x 8 trough and existing B-Line sections in the same run rather than standing out as a patch.
6) How heavy is the 88-12LBC for overhead mounting?
The connector weighs 2.22 lb, so it adds almost nothing to an overhead wireway run. Support spacing is governed by the wireway sections and the enclosure it lands on, not by this fitting.
