B-LINE 8866-12LR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Eaton B-Line 8866-12LR wireway reducer do in a wireway run?
It's a reducer fitting that transitions one wireway trough size to another so the run can continue without splicing in field-fabricated sheet metal. The 8866-12LR is the NEMA 12 version, built in steel with an ANSI 61 gray painted finish, and the mounting hardware comes with the fitting.
2) Is the 8866-12LR reducer rated for a dusty or oily plant environment, or is it only for clean indoor use?
It carries a NEMA 12 rating, which is the indoor enclosure type for dust, falling dirt, and dripping non-corrosive liquids. That covers most manufacturing floors and mechanical rooms. It is not a wet-location or outdoor rating, so a washdown area or any exterior run needs a NEMA 3R or 4 wireway system instead. The fitting is also UL Listed.
3) Can I use a NEMA 12 wireway reducer like the 8866-12LR on a NEMA 1 screw-cover wireway?
Mixing types is not how these systems are built. A NEMA 12 fitting is gasketed and bolted to keep dust and drips out, and dropping it into a NEMA 1 screw-cover run gives you no better than the NEMA 1 rating of the surrounding trough. If the run is NEMA 1 throughout, buy the matching NEMA 1 reducer; if the area needs NEMA 12 protection, the whole run including the reducer needs to be NEMA 12.
4) Do I need to order gaskets or screws separately for a B-Line NEMA 12 wireway reducer?
The mounting hardware ships with the 8866-12LR reducer, so there's no separate hardware kit to add to the order. What you still need to confirm is that the wireway sections on each side of the reducer match its trough sizes and that you have the covers and any hangers or supports the run calls for.
5) Will the ANSI 61 gray finish on this B-Line reducer match my existing wireway run?
ANSI 61 gray is the standard gray used across B-Line wireway and most industrial enclosure lines, so the 8866-12LR blends with an existing painted steel trough run of the same series. The body is steel under the paint, so touch up any field cuts or scratches to keep corrosion off in a plant environment.
6) What is the exact part number to order this Eaton B-Line wireway reducer?
Order it as Eaton B-Line 8866-12LR. That single catalog number covers the steel NEMA 12 reducer fitting in ANSI 61 gray with hardware included.
7) How much does the 8866-12LR wireway reducer weigh and how big is the fitting?
It weighs 2.924 lb and measures 5.94 in height, 5.88 in width, and 5.88 in length/depth. That's light enough for one person to hold in place while the bolts go in, and small enough to fit between hangers on a tight trough run.
