The 8 in H x 8 in W x 72 in L footprint provides ample space for dense cable runs while maintaining a compact enclosure profile, reducing panel footprint and installation time. The 16 gauge steel construction delivers durable mechanical protection against impacts and abrasion, which translates to lower lifecycle costs and fewer field repairs. Embossed thru holes offer predictable, repeatable mounting alignment with standard panels, speeding assembly and minimizing misalignment risks during installation. The option to rely on plated screws and a flange-secured screw cover ensures the cover remains in place, reducing maintenance calls and rework. No knockouts inside the trough preserve enclosure integrity for controlled, sealed environments, while still allowing customization where needed. Finishes in ANSI 61 gray provide corrosion resistance and a professional, code-compliant appearance, supporting long-term compliance and safer maintenance. The combination of NEMA 3R readiness, CSA Certified and UL Listed credentials, and a proven mounting method makes this wiring trough an efficient fit for industrial automation projects while remaining compatible with a wide range of Eaton B-Line accessories and standard hardware.
