B-LINE 88-12FN2 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a wireway nipple section used for, and where does the B-Line 88-12FN2 go in a run?
A nipple section is a short connector piece that joins two wireway bodies or ties a wireway to an enclosure so conductors can pass straight through. The B-Line 88-12FN2 is a feed-through section with two nipples, so wires enter one side and continue out the other with no pull or splice point built in. Depth is only 1.938 in, so it is a coupling length, not a pull box.
2) Will the 88-12FN2 nipple section mate with 8 x 8 wireway?
Yes. The 88-12FN2 measures 8 in by 8 in, matching standard 8 x 8 wireway trough cross-section. It will not adapt between sizes, so both bodies being joined need to be 8 x 8.
3) Is this B-Line nipple section rated for wet or washdown locations?
No. The 88-12FN2 carries a NEMA 12 rating, which covers dust, falling dirt, and dripping noncorrosive liquids in indoor industrial areas. It is not a NEMA 3R or 4X part, so keep it out of outdoor, hose-down, or corrosive service.
4) Is the B-Line 88-12FN2 wireway nipple UL Listed for inspection?
It is UL Listed, which is what most AHJs look for on a wireway assembly. The rest of the run needs to be the same NEMA 12 listed system for the enclosure rating to hold at the joint.
5) Can I use the 88-12FN2 to make a pull or splice point in an 8 x 8 wireway run?
No. It is a feed-through section only, meant to pass conductors straight between two points. For splicing or pulling, you want a wireway body length or a pull box section instead. At 1.938 in deep, there is no working room inside it.
6) What exact part number do I order for the Eaton B-Line 8 x 8 NEMA 12 two-nipple feed-through section?
Order Eaton B-Line 88-12FN2. The 88 denotes the 8 x 8 cross-section, 12 the NEMA 12 rating, and FN2 the two-nipple feed-through configuration.
7) What material and weight is the 8 x 8 B-Line nipple section, for mounting and support planning?
It is steel and weighs 3.522 lb. Light enough that a single fitter can set it in place, but it is a rigid steel part, so the adjoining wireway lengths still need their own hangers rather than leaning on the nipple to carry load.
