B-LINE 8872 HSNK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the B-Line 8872 HSNK wireway rated for outdoor or wet locations?
No. The Eaton B-Line 8872 HSNK wiring trough is a NEMA 1 enclosure, which means indoor use only, for general-purpose protection against incidental dust and contact. Do not use it outdoors, in washdown areas, or anywhere it can be rained on or hosed down. For those openings you need a NEMA 3R or NEMA 4 gasketed trough instead.
2) Does this B-Line trough come with knockouts for conduit, or do I have to punch my own?
There are no knockouts. The 8872 HSNK ships as a blank 8 x 8 body, so every conduit entry gets punched or drilled on site where you want it. That is the reason a lot of contractors prefer the no-knockout version: you place the holes to match your actual panel layout instead of working around factory locations. Plan on a set of punches or a hole saw for the 14 gauge steel wall.
3) What gauge steel is this trough, and will the finish match the panels already in my electrical room?
Body and cover are 14 gauge steel finished in ANSI 61 gray, which is the standard gray used on most commercial panelboards, disconnects, and gutters, so it will read as a match alongside existing gear. The 14 gauge wall is heavier than the light-gauge troughs sold for residential work and holds its shape when you punch conduit entries.
4) What is the exact part number to order this 8 x 8 x 72 hinged-cover B-Line trough?
Order Eaton B-Line 8872 HSNK. The number decodes to the size: 8 inch height, 8 inch width, 72 inch length, with HSNK meaning hinged cover and no knockouts. If you need a lift-off screw cover or factory knockouts instead, that is a different suffix in the same family.
5) Do I need fittings or connectors to join two of these troughs together?
Yes, and they are separate items. The 8872 HSNK is a straight 72 inch section only; joining two sections end to end, or turning a corner, calls for the matching 8 x 8 connectors, elbows, or tee fittings plus the hardware to land them. Budget those in when you lay out the run rather than assuming the trough ships complete.
