16 gauge steel construction with ANSI 61 gray finish delivers rugged protection and corrosion resistance, reducing replacement costs in harsh environments. The result is longer service life and lower maintenance for critical facility wiring, especially in outdoor or damp locations where exposure is common. The 8 x 8 x 48 inch footprint provides ample capacity while fitting standard rack spaces, enabling clean, organized cable routes without compromising accessibility. Embossed thru holes enable quick, secure mounting with common hardware and eliminate the need for field knockouts, speeding installation and reducing field modification risk. A screw-cover design secured by a flange and plated screws ensures a durable, tamper-resistant closure that stays in place through vibration and routine servicing. With NEMA 3R protection and CSA UL certifications, the trough supports regulatory compliance and reduces lifecycle risk. Compatibility with Eaton B-Line accessories simplifies expansion and upgrades, enabling scalable power distribution along with predictable maintenance intervals.
