B-LINE 44-4XSFN2 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line 44-4XSFN2 nipple section fit a 4 x 4 wireway run?
Yes. The Eaton B-Line 44-4XSFN2 nipple is a 4 inch by 4 inch cross section, so it mates to 4 x 4 wireway trough and fittings of the same series. Its length is 1.938 inches, so it is a short coupling piece for joining two sections or feeding between an enclosure and a trough, not a run length.
2) Can this wireway nipple be used outdoors or in a washdown area?
It is built to NEMA 4X, which is the rating used for wet, outdoor and corrosive or washdown locations, and the body is stainless steel with a brushed finish. That combination is what food plants, car washes and coastal exterior runs specify. It is also UL Listed.
3) What is a wireway nipple section actually used for?
A nipple section is a short closure piece that bridges two wireway troughs or ties a trough to an enclosure so conductors pass straight through. This one is a feed-through configuration, meaning wires run through it without turning, and at 1.938 inches long it closes a gap rather than adding usable run length.
4) Does the stainless B-Line nipple keep the NEMA 4X rating of my wireway system?
It is rated NEMA 4X itself, so used with 4X-rated 4 x 4 stainless wireway and gasketed covers the joint stays within the same environmental class. Mixing it onto painted steel NEMA 1 or NEMA 3R trough drops the assembly to the lowest-rated component.
5) Is the B-Line 44-4XSFN2 stainless or just a coated steel nipple?
Solid stainless steel with a brushed finish, not painted or plated carbon steel. That matters where cut edges and fastener points would otherwise start rusting in a washdown or coastal install.
6) Do I need a different B-Line fitting if my wireway has to turn a corner?
Yes. This piece is a feed-through nipple, straight through only. For a change of direction you need an elbow or tee fitting in the same 4 x 4 size and NEMA 4X stainless family; a nipple will not make the turn.
7) How heavy is the 44-4XSFN2 nipple for overhead mounting?
1.668 pounds. Light enough that a nipple joint adds effectively nothing to a supported overhead 4 x 4 stainless run.
