B-LINE 2248 HSNK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the B-Line 2248 HSNK wiring trough, and how much wire can a 2.5 x 2.5 inch trough carry?
The 2248 HSNK is a 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 inch cross section, 48 inches long. That is the smallest common trough size, so it suits feeder taps, control wiring and short gutter runs between panels rather than heavy multi-circuit pulls. If your fill calculation needs more cross-sectional area, step up to a 4 x 4 or 6 x 6 trough instead.
2) Is the B-Line 2248 HSNK trough rated for outdoor or wet locations?
No. It is a NEMA 1 enclosure, which is indoor general purpose only. Use it in dry interior spaces such as electrical rooms and mechanical rooms. For outdoor, washdown or damp locations you need a NEMA 3R or 4 rated raintight trough.
3) Does the B-Line 2248 HSNK come with knockouts for conduit?
No knockouts. The body is supplied blank, so every conduit entry gets field punched where you want it. That is an advantage when you are landing fittings on a tight wall, and extra work if you were counting on factory holes.
4) How does the hinged cover on this Eaton B-Line wireway open, and do I still need to remove screws?
The cover is hinged, so it swings open rather than lifting off, and it is secured to the body with plated screws. You back the screws out and the cover stays attached instead of dropping into the room or getting lost, which is the reason most electricians pick hinged over a screw cover on a run they expect to open again.
5) What gauge steel and finish is the B-Line 2248 wireway, and will it match my existing panels?
16 gauge steel finished in ANSI 61 gray, the standard switchgear and panelboard gray, so it blends with most commercial electrical equipment already on the wall.
6) Is this B-Line wiring trough certified for use on a Canadian job?
It is certified to CSA C22.2, so it is acceptable for Canadian installations as well as US work.
7) What is the exact part number to order this 48 inch hinged cover trough?
Eaton B-Line part number 2248 HSNK. The number reads as the cross section and length: 2 x 2 (nominal) by 48 inches, HSNK for hinged cover, no knockouts.
