B-Line Eaton series wiring trough, 8" height, 12" length, 8" width, 12LW wireway, Wireway hanger, Hinged cover, 12, Steel, Oil-resistant gasket, Hing

The 8812-12LW is a 12-inch long section with an 8 inch by 8 inch cross section (8 in height, 8 in width, 12 in length). It weighs 10.732 lb, so a single hanger point handles it easily. Short sections like this are normally used as pull or junction boxes between longer runs rather than as the run itself.

No. The 8812-12LW is a NEMA 12 enclosure with an oil-resistant gasket, which covers dust, falling dirt, and dripping non-corrosive liquids in an indoor industrial space. It is not a NEMA 3R, 4 or 4X product, so do not use it outdoors, in hose-down washdown areas, or where corrosive chemicals are present. For those openings you want a gasketed 4 or 4X stainless or coated wireway instead.

It is a hinged cover, carried on heavy-duty butt hinges with quick-release latches. That matters in a tight electrical room: you swing the cover open to pull or land conductors instead of juggling a loose screw-on cover and a handful of fasteners overhead. No tools needed to open the latches.

The 8812-12LW is set up for wireway hanger mounting, so it is supported from a hanger rather than bolted flat through the back. Hangers, trapeze hardware, or strut for the run are bought separately from the trough section.

Yes, the 12LW wiring trough carries CSA C22.2 certification, which is what an inspector in Canada will look for on a wireway. It is the same part number, 8812-12LW, on either side of the border.

Yes, that is the usual job for a short 8 x 8 section like the 8812-12LW. At 12 inches long it acts as a pull point, tee, or transition between longer lengths of the same 8 x 8 wireway, and the hinged cover means you can get into the splice later without pulling the whole cover line apart. Any connectors, closing plates, or elbows needed to join sections are ordered separately.

Body and cover are 14 gauge steel finished in ANSI 61 gray, the standard gray used on most industrial control enclosures, so a section will match panels and gutters already in the room. Being painted steel, it is for dry indoor use, not corrosive or outdoor locations.
