B-LINE 44-12LN1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a wireway nipple section used for on a 4x4 lay-in wireway run?
A nipple section is the short connector piece that joins two wireway components or ties a wireway directly to an enclosure or panel. The B-Line Eaton 44-12LN1 is only .938 in deep, so it closes a short gap between adjacent bodies or fittings rather than carrying conductors any distance. Its cross section matches 4 in by 4 in wireway, and it is a lay-in design, meaning the cover comes off and wires drop in rather than being pulled.
2) Will the B-Line 44-12LN1 nipple fit a 6x6 or 8x8 wireway?
No. It is sized 4 in high by 4 in wide and only mates with 4 x 4 wireway bodies and fittings. For a 6 x 6 or 8 x 8 run you need the nipple section built for that trough size.
3) Is this wireway nipple rated for a wet or washdown area?
It carries a NEMA 12 rating, which covers dust, falling dirt and dripping non-corrosive liquids in indoor industrial spaces. That is not a wet-location or hosedown rating, so for outdoor or washdown work you need NEMA 3R or 4/4X wireway instead. The 44-12LN1 is UL Listed.
4) Can I mix this NEMA 12 nipple with NEMA 1 screw-cover wireway?
Don't. NEMA 12 lay-in wireway uses a gasketed cover and matching flange detail to hold the dust-tight seal; bolting it to NEMA 1 screw-cover trough gives you a NEMA 1 run at best and usually a poor mechanical fit. Keep the whole run in the same NEMA 12 lay-in family so the 44-12LN1's seal is doing something.
5) What material and finish is the 4x4 B-Line wireway nipple, and will it match the rest of my gray trough?
Steel construction with an ANSI 61 gray painted finish, which is the standard light gray used across industrial enclosures and wireway, so it matches typical B-Line and other ANSI 61 panels and trough already in place.
6) How heavy is the 44-12LN1 nipple section, and does it need its own support?
It weighs 1.787 lb, light enough that it adds nothing meaningful to your hanger spacing. Support the wireway bodies on either side of it per code and the nipple itself needs no dedicated hanger.
