B-LINE 88-12LJB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Eaton B-Line 88-12LJB junction box mate with 8 x 8 inch wireway?
Yes. The 88-12LJB is an 8 inch by 8 inch junction box built for Eaton B-Line series wireway of the same 8 x 8 cross section, so the openings line up with matching lay-in wireway runs. It is a side opening fitting, meaning the conductors enter through the sides rather than the ends.
2) Is the 88-12LJB rated for a dusty or oily plant floor?
It is a NEMA 12 enclosure, which is the indoor rating for protection against falling dirt, circulating dust, lint, fibers, and dripping non-corrosive liquids. That covers most manufacturing and process floors. It is not a washdown or outdoor rating, so for hosedown or exterior locations you want a NEMA 4 or 4X enclosure instead.
3) Is this B-Line wireway junction box UL Listed?
Yes, the 88-12LJB carries a UL Listing, which is what most AHJs and spec writers look for on wireway fittings in commercial and industrial installs.
4) What is the 88-12LJB made of and how is it finished?
Steel body with an ANSI 61 gray painted finish. ANSI 61 gray is the standard industrial control equipment color, so it matches typical panelboards, control enclosures, and the rest of a B-Line wireway run without repainting.
5) How heavy is the 88-12LJB junction box, and can one person hang it?
It ships at 36.94 lb. That is a two-hand lift on a ladder, so plan on a helper or a lift when tying it into an elevated wireway run, and size the supporting strut and anchors for the loaded weight plus the conductors landing in it.
6) What footprint should I leave for the 88-12LJB in my wireway layout?
The catalog dimensions are 8 in height, 17.59 in width, and 22 in length/depth. Lay the run out with that envelope in mind plus clearance to remove the cover, since this is a side opening box and you need access to the side faces to pull and land conductors.
7) Do I use a side opening junction box or an end opening fitting on my wireway run?
Use a side opening box like the 88-12LJB where conductors branch off laterally, or where you need to pull and splice from the side of the run rather than straight through the ends. If your run is a straight in-line pull with conductors entering and leaving on the same axis, an end opening fitting is the simpler choice. The 88-12LJB is specifically the side opening version.
8) What part number do I order for the 8x8 NEMA 12 B-Line side opening junction box?
Order Eaton B-Line 88-12LJB. That single model number covers the 8 x 8, NEMA 12, steel, ANSI 61 gray painted side opening junction box. There are no finish or size options to specify on it.
