Milbank 16168-SC1-NK – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can a Milbank 16168-SC1-NK screw cover enclosure be mounted outdoors or in a wet location?
No. The 16168-SC1-NK is a NEMA 1 enclosure, which covers general-purpose indoor use only, guarding against incidental contact and light dust. It has no rating for rain, washdown, or dust-tight service. For an exterior wall, a feeder pull box on a loading dock, or anywhere subject to hose-down, you need a NEMA 3R or 4 enclosure instead.
2) Does the Milbank 16168-SC1-NK come with conduit knockouts already punched?
It does not. The NK suffix means without knockout, so the box arrives blank on all sides. You field-locate and punch every conduit opening yourself, which is why electricians pick it when the conduit layout does not line up with a factory punch pattern. Budget time for a hole saw or knockout punch set sized to your conduit, since no openings are provided.
3) What size is the Milbank 16168-SC1-NK enclosure, and how much wall space do I need for it?
The box measures 16 x 16 x 8 inches. That is a square 16 by 16 face with an 8 inch depth, so plan on a 16 inch square mounting footprint plus room to swing the cover off and clearance ahead of the 8 inch projection off the wall.
4) Is a screw cover enclosure the right choice, or should I use a hinged cover box?
A screw cover like the 16168-SC1-NK is for enclosures you open occasionally, not daily. The cover panel is fastened with screws and lifts completely off for wiring and inspection, which gives you clear access to the whole interior but means you are handling loose screws and a loose 16 inch panel at a ladder. For a box you expect to open routinely, such as a control or terminal enclosure checked on a maintenance schedule, a hinged cover is the easier arrangement. For junction boxes, pull boxes, and panel housings that get closed up after install, the screw cover is the normal choice.
5) What is the exact part number to order for the 16 x 16 x 8 Milbank NEMA 1 screw cover box with no knockouts?
Order Milbank 16168-SC1-NK. The number reads out as the size and configuration: 16168 for 16 x 16 x 8 inches, SC1 for screw cover NEMA 1, and NK for without knockout. If your drawing calls for a factory knockout pattern, that is a different catalog number, so match the suffix carefully.
6) Will the Milbank 16168-SC1-NK house a small panel or control components, or is it only for wire splices?
Both uses are within scope. The 16 x 16 x 8 inch interior is called out for wiring, terminations, and small components, and the box is listed for commercial and industrial panel housings and control or terminal enclosures as well as plain junction work. Note that no interior mounting panel, DIN rail, or terminal blocks are described as part of the enclosure, so plan on providing the interior mounting hardware your components need.
7) Can the Milbank 16168-SC1-NK replace an existing 16 x 16 x 8 junction box on a retrofit?
It can, and retrofit electrical projects are a stated application. Because it comes blank with no factory knockouts, you can punch the new box to match the conduit stubs already in the wall rather than fighting a fixed punch pattern, which is the main reason the NK version gets specified on replacements. Confirm the old box was indoor NEMA 1 service, since this one is not rated for anything wetter.
