B-LINE 4488-3RASCR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use this wireway reducer outdoors or in a wet location?
It is built to NEMA 3R, which covers outdoor use against falling rain, sleet and snow, and it is UL Listed. Aluminum construction suits exterior and damp industrial runs. NEMA 3R is not a washdown or submersion rating, so for hosedown or heavy water exposure you want a 4 or 4X rated raceway instead.
2) Is an aluminum wireway reducer okay to mix with a painted steel wireway run?
The 4488-3RASCR is aluminum, and aluminum bodies are normally matched to aluminum trough for a consistent NEMA 3R run and to avoid dissimilar metal contact at the bolted flanges. If the existing run is painted steel, order the steel equivalent of the reducer rather than mixing materials.
3) Is this reducer UL Listed for an inspected commercial job?
Yes, it carries a UL Listing, and it is rated NEMA 3R. That is the pairing an inspector looks for on an exterior or unprotected wireway transition.
4) How heavy is this reducer, and will one person handle it overhead?
At 2.083 lb it is a one-hand part. Aluminum keeps the weight down compared with a steel fitting of the same size, which matters when you are bolting a transition into an overhead trough run on a ladder.
5) Do I need anything else to install a wireway reducer, or is it a complete fitting?
The reducer is the transition body itself. Plan on the mating wireway sections and the usual flange hardware and gasketing your run uses to keep the 3R rating continuous at each joint; the reducer only maintains the enclosure rating if the joints it bolts to are made up the same way.
