B-LINE 6644-12FRC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Eaton B-Line 6644-12FRC wireway reducer actually do?
It's a transition fitting that steps a run of lay-in wireway down from one trough size to a smaller one, so 6 x 6 inch wireway can continue into a smaller section without cutting and field-fabricating a plate. Steel construction, NEMA 12 rated, and UL Listed.
2) Is the 6644-12FRC a center reducer or an offset one?
Center. The smaller opening sits on the centerline of the larger trough, so the two wireway runs stay aligned on both axes. If your smaller run has to line up flush with the top or one side of the larger trough, a center reducer is the wrong fitting and you want an offset style instead.
3) Can I use this wireway reducer in a washdown or dusty plant area?
NEMA 12 is the rating on this fitting, which covers indoor use against falling dirt, circulating dust, lint, and dripping non-corrosive liquids. It is not a washdown or outdoor rating. For hosedown areas or anything exposed to weather you need NEMA 4 or 4X wireway and fittings throughout, since the enclosure rating of a run is only as good as its weakest fitting.
4) What size wireway does this B-Line reducer fit?
The large end matches 6 x 6 inch lay-in wireway. The fitting's own flange face measures 7.75 by 7.75 inches, which is the bolt-up footprint you need clearance for against a wall, strut, or adjacent gutter.
5) What part number do I order for the B-Line 6 x 6 center wireway reducer?
Order Eaton B-Line 6644-12FRC. That is the full catalog number for the NEMA 12 steel center reducer on 6 x 6 inch wireway.
6) Will an inspector accept this fitting on a UL listed wireway run?
The reducer is UL Listed, so it can be used as part of a listed wireway system without a field evaluation. Keep the rest of the run, covers and fittings included, within the same listed system and the same NEMA 12 rating so the assembly stays as specified.
7) How heavy is the 6644-12FRC and do I need support at the reducer?
The fitting weighs 3.725 lb on its own, so it is a one-hand lift. The weight that matters is what's on either side of it: a reducer is a joint in the run, and wireway supports should fall near it rather than letting a loaded trough hang off the fitting's flanges.
8) Is this steel reducer painted or raw, and will it hold up in a damp mechanical room?
Body material is steel with a NEMA 12 indoor rating. Steel NEMA 12 wireway components are for dry to damp indoor locations only. In an area that sees standing moisture, condensation drip you cannot control, or chemical exposure, specify stainless or a NEMA 4X system rather than dropping a painted steel fitting into the run.
