B-LINE 6618 GRT NK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the B-Line 6618 GRT NK wiring trough be used outdoors?
It's built to NEMA 3R, so it handles rain, sleet and snow in an outdoor location, and it is CSA Certified. NEMA 3R is a raintight-style rating, not watertight and not dusttight, so keep it out of washdown areas and off sites where hose-directed water or heavy airborne dust is a factor. The steel body carries an ANSI 61 gray finish.
2) What are the actual cross-section and length of the 6618 GRT NK trough?
6 inch height by 6 inch width, 18 inches long. That 6 x 6 cross-section is what governs your wire fill and how many conduits you can land on a side, and the 18 inch run length decides how many sections and couplings you need to span a wall. It weighs 9.065 lb, light enough to hang one-handed while you start the fasteners.
3) Does this B-Line trough come with knockouts for conduit?
No. The 6618 GRT NK is the NK (no knockouts) version, so every conduit entry gets punched or drilled in the field. That's an advantage when your raceway layout doesn't line up with a factory pattern, and extra work when it does. If you want pre-punched entries, order a knockout version of the same size instead of this one.
4) How does the cover come off on the 6618 GRT NK, and is it a screw cover or hinged?
Screw cover, not hinged. The cover seats on a flange and is held by plated screws, so you need clearance in front of the trough to lift the cover straight off and somewhere to set it while you work. For a panel you open weekly, a hinged-cover trough is the friendlier choice; for a wire-pull raceway you close and forget, the screw cover keeps things tight outdoors.
5) How do you mount a B-Line 6618 wiring trough to a wall or strut?
Mounting is through embossed thru holes in the back of the enclosure, so it bolts flat to a wall, backboard or strut run without drilling the body. The embossing keeps the fastener heads off the sheet metal face. Fasteners and any strut hardware are a separate purchase, sized to what you are anchoring into.
6) Is 16 gauge steel heavy enough for a commercial wiring trough?
16 gauge is the standard commercial body thickness for a trough this size and it's what keeps a 6 x 6 section from oil-canning when you pull wire through it or hang it off strut. With the flange-and-screw cover it makes a rigid box once closed. Heavier gauge is generally reserved for larger cross-sections and industrial duty.
7) Will the gray finish on this trough match the other B-Line enclosures on my job?
It's finished in ANSI 61 gray, the standard industrial gray used across most B-Line and Eaton enclosures and panelboards, so it lines up visually with the rest of a typical gear room or backboard. Screws are plated.
