B-LINE 8896 GRTGV NK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Eaton B-Line 8896 GRTGV NK wiring trough be installed outdoors?
It's built to NEMA 3R, so it's rated for outdoor use against falling rain and sleet. The body is galvanized steel in gray with a screw-on cover held by a flange and plated screws, which is what keeps water out of the raceway. It is not a washdown or hose-down enclosure, so keep it off applications that need 4 or 4X.
2) What size is the 8896 GRTGV NK trough and how much conductor fill space does that give me?
The cross section is 8 inches by 8 inches and the section runs 96 inches long, so you get a full 8 foot run with a 64 square inch interior cross section to work with when you're sizing conductor fill and bend radius at the gutter.
3) Does this B-Line trough come with knockouts for conduit entry?
No. The NK in 8896 GRTGV NK means no knockouts, so every conduit entry has to be field punched or hole sawed where you want it. That's the usual choice on a job where the conduit layout isn't standard, but if you want factory openings you need the knockout version instead. Plan on a punch and the right connectors before the trough goes up.
4) How does this wiring trough mount to a wall or strut?
Mounting is through embossed thru holes in the back of the trough body, so it fastens flat to a wall, backboard, or strut with your own hardware. The embossing keeps the fastener heads from bearing directly on the sheet. Mounting fasteners and anchors are not part of the trough, so pull those from your own stock to suit the substrate.
5) Is the cover on this trough hinged or screw-on?
Screw cover. The lid is retained by a flange and plated screws along the edge, which is what holds the 3R rating. It means you'll be backing out screws every time you open the run, so if you're pulling and repulling frequently, a hinged-cover gutter is the easier product to live with.
6) What gauge steel is the 8x8x96 B-Line gutter, and how heavy is a section to hang?
16 gauge galvanized steel, and a section weighs 55.133 lb. At eight feet and that weight it's a two-man lift to set on the wall, and your mounting points need to be into structure or strut, not just drywall anchors.
7) Is this B-Line trough acceptable for a Canadian jobsite?
It carries CSA C22.2 certification, so it's recognized for installation under the Canadian Electrical Code as well as on US work.
