12WT wiring trough
The 6 in height, 6 in width, and 48 in length define a compact yet roomy channel for routing power and control cables. This 14-gauge steel trough provides structural rigidity and long-term durability in demanding environments, reducing impedance and deformation under load. Use in Eaton B-Line series installations for large control panels and machine enclosures where space and capacity matter. The NEMA 12 rating and hinged cover with heavy-duty hinges and screw clamps protect conductors from dust and moisture, lowering maintenance costs and supporting regulatory compliance during routine inspections. The welded external mounting feet enable fast, secure installation on walls or backplanes, while the seamless poured-in-place construction minimizes seams where dirt can accumulate, improving reliability in harsh factory conditions. Compatibility with standard B-Line framing and accessories simplifies expansion, minimizes field fabrication, and accelerates project timelines. A gray finish hides dirt and corrosion cues, while 14 gauge steel delivers a proven lifecycle for high-cycle industrial use, reducing replacement intervals and total cost of ownership. This wiring trough is specifically designed for 12WT applications and supports scalable wiring management as systems evolve, making it a practical fit for growing automation projects and multi-line power distribution.
