B-LINE 1212 HST – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line 1212 HST tee fit my 12 x 12 wireway run?
Yes. The Eaton B-Line 1212 HST tee fitting is built for 12 inch by 12 inch wireway, with a 12 in height and 12 in length/depth matching the trough cross section. Overall width across the fitting is 16.306 in, so allow for that extra spread where the branch comes off when you lay out the run against a wall or ceiling.
2) Is this wireway tee suitable for outdoor or washdown use?
No. The 1212 HST tee is NEMA 1 rated, which is indoor, general purpose enclosure protection only. It guards against incidental contact with the enclosed wiring and falling dirt, not rain, hose-down, or dust. For an outdoor run or a wet location you need a NEMA 3R or 4 rated wireway fitting instead.
3) What does lay-in mean on this B-Line tee, and does it change how I pull wire?
Lay-in means the cover comes off and conductors drop straight into the trough rather than being pulled through a closed body. On a tee that matters: you can set the cable in the branch and the through run in one pass, then close the cover, instead of fishing around the corner. It is the standard method for a wireway system and is what makes a tee faster than pulling through conduit elbows.
4) What is the exact part number to order this B-Line wireway tee?
Order Eaton B-Line model 1212 HST, the 12 inch by 12 inch NEMA 1 steel lay-in wireway tee in ANSI 61 gray. There is one configuration, so size, finish, and rating are fixed with that number.
5) Do I need a tee or a cross where three wireway runs meet?
A tee is the right fitting for a three-way junction: a through run plus one branch. The 1212 HST handles that in 12 by 12 wireway. If you have four legs coming together at one point, that is a cross, not a tee, and the 1212 HST will not make that connection.
6) What is this tee made of and how is it finished?
Steel body with an ANSI 61 gray painted finish, the standard gray used across most industrial electrical enclosures and wireway, so it matches adjacent panels and trough sections without touch-up. Steel construction means an indoor mechanical or electrical room; in a corrosive or coastal environment look for a stainless or coated alternative.
7) How heavy is the 1212 HST tee, and can one person hang it?
It weighs 15.536 lb. That is a one-person lift on the ground, but at 12 by 12 inches with a 16.306 in overall width it is awkward overhead, so plan on supports set and a second set of hands when you land it on a wall or trapeze between two trough runs.
