B-LINE 66-12FN3 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a wireway nipple section used for on a 6x6 wireway run?
A nipple section is the short connector piece that joins two wireway bodies or ties a wireway to an enclosure. The B-Line 66-12FN3 is a feed-through nipple sized for 6 x 6 inch wireway, so conductors pass straight through from one section or box into the next without a splice or a pull point. It is not a length of wireway for routing a run; use standard straight sections for that and the nipple only at the joint.
2) Can I use the B-Line 66-12FN3 nipple in a washdown or dusty plant area?
It is NEMA 12 rated, which covers indoor protection against falling dirt, circulating dust, lint and dripping non-corrosive liquids. That suits machine shops, food plant dry areas and general industrial interiors. It is not a NEMA 3R or 4X part, so do not use it outdoors, in direct hose-down washdown, or in corrosive atmospheres.
3) How long is the B-Line 66-12FN3 nipple section, and will it close a short gap between two enclosures?
The nipple measures 2.938 inches in the length/depth dimension, with a 6 inch height and 6 inch width to match 6 x 6 wireway. That makes it the piece for tying two adjacent boxes or sections separated by roughly three inches or less. For anything longer you need a straight wireway section cut or ordered to length.
4) Will the 66-12FN3 work on 4x4 or 8x8 wireway?
No. This nipple is built to the 6 x 6 inch wireway cross section, so the flange pattern and opening match 6 x 6 bodies only. On a 4 x 4 or 8 x 8 system you need the nipple sized for that system, or a reducer fitting at the transition.
5) Is the B-Line 66-12FN3 wireway nipple UL Listed for an inspected commercial job?
Yes, it carries a UL Listing, which is what most inspectors and spec writers want to see on wireway components in commercial and industrial installations.
6) Is this nipple steel or aluminum, and how much does it weigh for overhead work?
Steel construction, at 3.205 lb. Light enough for one person to hold in place on an overhead run while the connection hardware is started, and steel rather than nonmetallic means it stays in the equipment grounding path when properly bonded.
