B-LINE 4418-4XSWT – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the Eaton B-Line 4418-4XSWT wiring trough?
The 4418-4XSWT is a 4 x 4 x 18 inch trough: 4 inch height, 4 inch width, 18 inch length. It weighs 8.89 lb. That 4 x 4 cross section is the common size for splicing and pull points feeding panels and machine control cabinets, and the 18 inch run keeps it short enough to mount between conduit stubs without a long unsupported span.
2) Is this stainless wiring trough suitable for a washdown or outdoor location?
It is built to NEMA 4X in 304 stainless steel with a seamless poured in-place gasket, which is the construction used for hosedown, wet, and corrosive areas such as food processing, car washes, and coastal exterior walls. The #4 brushed finish is the standard sanitary mill finish for those environments. It also carries CSA C22.2 certification.
3) Does the trough mount flat to a wall, and do I need separate brackets?
It has welded external mounting feet, so it bolts straight to a wall or strut with no add-on brackets. Because the feet are external and welded, the fasteners stay outside the wiring space, which keeps the NEMA 4X enclosure integrity intact, no drilling through the body.
4) How does the cover open on the B-Line 4418-4XSWT trough, and can one person work it?
The cover is hinged, so it swings open and stays with the body instead of coming loose while you are pulling conductors. It is held by semi-hinges, screw clamps and stainless steel hardware, so a single electrician can open it, land the splices, and re-clamp without a second set of hands or loose screws hitting the floor.
5) Does the 4418-4XSWT come with knockouts for conduit?
It is supplied as a seamless 4X enclosure body, so conduit openings are field-drilled to suit your run. Use watertight hub fittings rated for wet locations so the NEMA 4X rating is maintained where you penetrate the 14 gauge stainless wall.
6) When should I choose a stainless 4X trough over a painted steel NEMA 1 wireway?
A NEMA 1 painted wireway is for dry indoor use only. Step up to the 4418-4XSWT 304 stainless 4X trough when the location sees washdown, rain, chemicals, or salt air, or when a sanitary #4 brushed finish is specified for food and pharma areas. If the run is in a clean dry electrical room, the 4X stainless is more enclosure than the job needs.
7) What gauge steel is this wiring trough, and is it stiff enough for a long unsupported run?
Body and cover are 14 gauge 304 stainless. At 4 x 4 x 18 inches and 8.89 lb, that is heavy-wall for a trough this size and it will not oil-can when you set conduit hubs into it or bolt it between two supports.
8) Which part number do I order for this 4 x 4 x 18 stainless hinged trough?
Order Eaton B-Line 4418-4XSWT. The number reads as the size and type: 4 inch by 4 inch cross section, 18 inch length, 4X stainless wiring trough with hinged cover.
