B-LINE 88-12FN3 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does a wireway nipple section like the B-Line 88-12FN3 actually do in a run?
It's a short connector section that joins two wireway components or ties a wireway into an enclosure, letting conductors feed straight through. The 88-12FN3 is a feed-through section with three nipples, so it carries wire between bodies rather than serving as a pull box or fitting-less end. Steel construction, 8 x 8 inch cross section.
2) Is this nipple section rated for a wet or oily area like a machine shop or wash-down bay?
It's a NEMA 12 section, which is the rating for protection against dust, falling dirt and dripping non-corrosive liquids in indoor industrial spaces. That covers machine shops and plant floors. It is not a NEMA 3R or 4X rating, so don't use it outdoors or in a direct hose-down or corrosive area. It is UL Listed.
3) What is the correct part number to order for the 8x8 NEMA 12 three-nipple feed-through section?
Order Eaton B-Line 88-12FN3. That designation reads out as 8 x 8 inch, NEMA 12, feed-through nipple with 3 nipples, in steel.
4) Is the 88-12FN3 steel or stainless, and does that matter for a food plant?
Steel. For a washdown food-processing area where stainless and a NEMA 4X rating are specified, this NEMA 12 steel section is the wrong choice; specify a stainless wireway line instead.
5) How much does the B-Line 88-12FN3 wireway nipple section weigh for overhead support planning?
4.162 lb. Light enough that the support spacing for the wireway run itself, not the nipple section, drives your hanger layout.
