B-LINE 1212 T – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line 1212 T tee fit my 12 x 12 wireway run?
Yes, the B-Line Eaton 1212 T is sized for 12 inch by 12 inch lay-in wireway, and it will not mate with 4x4, 6x6 or 8x8 trough. Its own body measures 12 in height, 12 in width and 20 in length/depth, so you need roughly 20 inches of clear space along the branch leg when you lay it out on the wall or ceiling.
2) Is this wireway tee rated for outdoor or wet locations?
No. The 1212 T is NEMA 1 (degree of protection 1), which is indoor, dry location only, with no gasketing against dust, dripping water or washdown. For a rooftop, exterior wall or wet process area you need a NEMA 3R or 4 raintight wireway tee instead.
3) What does "lay-in" mean on this tee, and does it make pulling conductors easier?
Lay-in construction means the cover comes off the full length of the fitting so conductors drop straight into the trough rather than being pulled through. At a tee that matters: you set the wire into the branch and the through run by hand instead of fishing around a corner, which is why lay-in wireway is used for feeder and control wiring that gets re-worked.
4) What is the part number to order this B-Line 12x12 tee?
Order it by model 1212 T from Eaton's B-Line series. The number reads directly off the trough size: 12 x 12 inch wireway, T for tee.
5) Do I need a tee fitting, or can I just cut into a straight wireway section?
Use the tee. A 1212 T gives you a listed, factory-formed three-way branch with the cover access maintained on all legs, so the wiring stays in a UL Listed enclosure. Field-cutting a straight section leaves an unlisted, unprotected opening with bare steel edges on the conductors.
6) What finish does this wireway tee come in, and will it match existing B-Line trough and panelboards?
It is steel, painted ANSI 61 gray. ANSI 61 is the standard gray used across most switchgear, panelboards and wireway, so a 1212 T dropped into an existing gray run will match visually without field painting.
