B-Line Eaton series wiring trough, 8" height, 24" length, 8" width, 12WT wiring trough, Welded external mounting feet, Hinged cover, 12, Steel, Seaml

The 8824-12WT is an 8 x 8 inch cross section, 24 inches long. That 8 by 8 opening is what determines how many conductors you can pull through and how much bend radius you get at the gutter, so size your run off the cross section rather than the length. Body is 14 gauge steel finished in gray.

It is built to the NEMA 12 wiring trough type, which is the indoor enclosure type for protection against falling dirt, circulating dust, lint and dripping non-corrosive liquids. That covers most plant floors and shops. It is not a wet-location or washdown enclosure, so for outdoor or hosedown areas you want a NEMA 3R or 4 gutter instead.

Welded external mounting feet are part of the body, so it bolts straight to a wall or strut without buying a mounting kit. The feet are external, which keeps your fastener heads outside the wiring space instead of in the path of the conductors.

Yes. The cover is hinged and held closed with heavy-duty hinges and screw clamps, so it swings open for pulling and landing wire and never has to be set down or lost during service. A screw-cover gutter of the same size would require removing every screw and handling the loose lid, which is why hinged covers get specified where panels are opened often.

No. The seal is a seamless poured in-place gasket, formed directly on the enclosure so there are no butt joints at the corners to shrink or leak. That is what holds the NEMA 12 dust and drip rating over repeated openings of the hinged cover.

21.282 lb empty. That is a single-person lift on a ladder, but with 14 gauge steel and a hinged cover the weight shifts when the lid swings, so get your mounting fasteners started before releasing it.

Wiring troughs in the 12WT line are built to be ganged end to end, and this one is a standard 8 x 8 cross section at 24 inches long, so it lines up with other 8 x 8 sections in the series. Knockouts or field-cut openings at the ends are what tie the runs together, and the seamless poured gasket and hinged cover are unaffected by ganging.
