B-LINE 8836 HSNK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the Eaton B-Line 8836 HSNK wiring trough, and how much pull space does it give me?
The 8836 HSNK is an 8 x 8 inch cross section, 36 inches long. That 8 by 8 interior is the number that matters when you are sizing wire bending space and fill for a gutter run, and the 36 inch length is a standard stick that lines up with cabinet and panel spacing. Steel body, 14 gauge.
2) Is the 8836 HSNK trough rated for outdoor or wet locations?
No. It is a NEMA 1 enclosure, which is indoor general purpose only, protecting against incidental contact and falling dirt. It is not rainproof and should not go outside, in a washdown area, or anywhere subject to dripping. For an exterior gutter run you need a NEMA 3R rated wireway instead.
3) Does this B-Line wireway come with knockouts, or do I have to punch my own holes?
No knockouts. The 8836 HSNK ships blank, so every conduit entry gets field punched where you want it. That is normal for a gutter, it lets you land conduits to match the panels you are feeding, but budget for a knockout punch set on the job.
4) How do you mount an 8836 HSNK wiring trough to the wall?
Through holes in the back of the body. You fasten it straight to the structure with your own hardware, sized to the wall type, since mounting fasteners are not part of the trough. At 21.19 lb empty before conduit and conductors, it needs to land on studs, strut, or solid backing, not drywall anchors.
5) Should I use a hinged cover trough like the 8836 HSNK or a screw cover type?
Pick the hinged version when the trough gets opened more than once, feeder taps, control wiring, anything you will revisit. A screw cover style means fully removing the lid each time. On a 36 inch section overhead that difference is real. If the run is buried above ceiling and never touched again, the extra cost of hinging buys you nothing.
6) What color and finish is this wiring trough, and will it match my existing panels?
ANSI 61 gray, the standard gray used on most commercial switchgear, panelboards, and enclosures, so a run of these will match typical gear already in an electrical room. Body is steel at 14 gauge.
