B-LINE 8872-12WT – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the cover on this Eaton wiring trough come off completely or swing open?
It swings. The 8872-12WT uses a hinged closure, with the cover held by heavy-duty hinges and screw clamps. That matters when you are pulling conductors overhead by yourself, since the cover stays captive on the body instead of needing to be set down or handed off, and you reclose it with the clamps rather than chasing loose screws.
2) Is the B-Line 8872-12WT certified for use in Canada?
It carries CSA C22.2 certification, so it is recognized under the Canadian standard for electrical enclosures and wireway. If you are submitting on a Canadian job or an institutional spec that calls for CSA-marked raceway, this one meets that line item.
3) How heavy is the 14 gauge steel on this trough and is that enough for a commercial install?
The body is 14 gauge, which is the heavier end of what gets used for wireway and is stiffer over a 72 inch unsupported span than the lighter gauges. Finish is gray. For a contractor hanging this on trapeze or strut between panelboards, the 14 gauge wall is what lets the hinged cover stay in alignment after the run is loaded.
4) Will the 8872-12WT mate up with other 8 x 8 wireway sections and fittings?
The cross section is 8 inches by 8 inches, so it lines up with other 8 x 8 wireway bodies, elbows, tees and end plates of the same series. Sizing your connectors and closure plates to 8 x 8 is the thing to check; the length, 72 inches, only affects how many sections you need for the run, not what fits the ends.
5) Can I use this trough outdoors or in a washdown area?
Treat the 8872-12WT as a general-purpose indoor wireway. It is a hinged-cover, screw-clamped gray steel trough certified to CSA C22.2, and no weatherproof or raintight rating is carried with it, so for exterior or wet locations you want a wireway specifically rated for that environment instead.
