B-LINE 44-12FN1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size wireway does the B-Line 44-12FN1 nipple section fit?
The Eaton B-Line 44-12FN1 nipple is sized for 4 x 4 inch wireway. It measures 4 inches high by 4 inches wide, so it mates to the standard 4x4 trough cross section. If your run is 6x6 or 8x8, this is the wrong nipple.
2) How long is the 44-12FN1 nipple section between boxes?
It is a short connector, .938 inch (just under an inch) in depth. That is the gap it closes, so it is meant for butting one enclosure or wireway section directly against the next, not for spanning a run.
3) Can I use a NEMA 12 wireway nipple in a wet or outdoor location?
No. The 44-12FN1 is NEMA 12 rated, which covers indoor use against dust, falling dirt and dripping non-corrosive liquids. Outdoor or washdown openings need a NEMA 3R or NEMA 4 rated raintight wireway and fittings instead.
4) Is the Eaton B-Line 44-12FN1 UL Listed?
Yes, it carries a UL Listed mark, which is what most inspectors and institutional specs call for on wireway components.
5) What is a feed through nipple section used for in a wireway run?
A feed through nipple joins two adjacent enclosures or wireway sections so conductors can pass straight from one to the other without a separate conduit run. The 44-12FN1 is the feed through style, so it is a pass-through connection, not a fitting that terminates or redirects the run.
6) How do I order the right B-Line nipple, what is the part number?
The part number is 44-12FN1 from the Eaton B-Line series. The 44 refers to the 4 x 4 inch wireway size, 12 to the NEMA 12 rating, and FN to the feed through nipple style.
7) Is the 44-12FN1 nipple steel or aluminum?
Steel. That matches the standard painted steel 4x4 lay-in wireway used in most indoor industrial and commercial work. For corrosive or washdown areas you would be looking at stainless instead.
