B-LINE 88-12FN6 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size wireway does the B-Line 88-12FN6 nipple section fit?
The 88-12FN6 is an 8 x 8 inch nipple section, so it mates to 8 x 8 inch wireway runs. Height and width are both 8 inches and the section is 5.938 inches deep front to back.
2) Is this B-Line wireway nipple section rated for wet or oily locations?
It is a NEMA 12 enclosure, which is the dust, falling dirt and dripping non-corrosive liquid rating for indoor industrial use. It is not a NEMA 3R or 4X outdoor rating, so keep it inside and out of direct washdown or rain.
3) Can I use a NEMA 12 wireway nipple section on an outdoor NEMA 3R run?
No. The 88-12FN6 is built to NEMA 12, an indoor rating. Mixing it into an outdoor or washdown run breaks the enclosure rating of the whole system at that point. For exterior work you need a section rated 3R or better.
4) What does the 6-nipple feed through section actually do in a wireway run?
It is a junction piece that lets you break out of the main wireway into six separate nipple connections while carrying conductors straight through. The wiring method is feed through, so conductors pass on without terminating in the section itself. You use it where multiple conduits or panel feeds branch off a single 8 x 8 run.
5) What is the exact part number to order this 8x8 six-nipple feed through section?
Order it as Eaton B-Line 88-12FN6. The prefix reflects the 8 x 8 body and NEMA 12 rating, FN6 the six-nipple feed through configuration.
6) Is this nipple section steel or aluminum, and how heavy is it to hang?
Steel construction, at 6.081 pounds for the section. Light enough for one person to set in place on a trapeze or wall-mounted 8 x 8 run, but plan on normal steel wireway support spacing rather than treating it as a light fitting.
