Hammond Manufacturing CWSC812NK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the Hammond CWSC812NK wireway straight section?
The CWSC812NK is an 8 x 8 x 12 straight section, so an 8 inch by 8 inch cross section running 12 inches long. Shipping weight is 8 lbs. If you need a longer run, order multiple sections and couple them, or step up to a longer section in the same 8 x 8 size.
2) Does the Hammond CWSC812NK come with knockouts for conduit?
No. The NK suffix on CWSC812NK means without knockouts, so the body is blank on all sides. You drill or punch your own openings exactly where the conduit lands. If you want factory holes on standard centers, you need the knockout version of the same 8 x 8 section instead.
3) Why would I pick a wireway section with no knockouts instead of one with knockouts?
Blank sections like the CWSC812NK are what you want when the conduit entries do not line up with factory knockout patterns, or when you are feeding from an odd angle and want full control over hole placement. The tradeoff is field work: you supply the hole saw or punch and the connectors. Knockout versions save install time when your runs follow standard spacing, but any unused knockout has to be plugged.
4) Can I use the CWSC812NK 8 x 8 wireway outdoors or in a washdown area?
This is an SC screw cover straight section, which is a general purpose indoor style enclosure body. It is not described as raintight or gasketed, so for wet, outdoor, or washdown locations you should specify a gasketed raintight wireway rather than this one.
5) Is the Hammond CWSC812NK RoHS and REACH compliant for an institutional spec?
Yes on both. The CWSC812NK is RoHS compliant and REACH compliant, and it is USMCA compliant, which matters on public and federally funded work where origin documentation is required. It is made in Canada.
6) Do I need anything else to put an 8 x 8 wireway run together with this section?
A single CWSC812NK gives you 12 inches of 8 x 8 raceway body and cover only. A complete run also needs connectors or couplings between sections, end plates to close the run, hangers or brackets to support it, and conduit hubs or connectors at each entry, plus the hole cutting since this section ships blank. Order those separately in matching 8 x 8 size.
7) How does the cover come off on a Hammond SC wireway section?
SC stands for screw cover. The cover is fastened with screws along the length rather than hinged or latched, so you back the screws out to open the run for pulling or splicing. Plan for screwdriver access along the full 12 inch length of the CWSC812NK once it is mounted.
