Eaton 8812GRT Nema 3R Wiring Trough

Product Description

The EATON 8812GRT is a NEMA 3R rated wiring trough designed to organize and protect electrical conductors in exposed or semi-protected outdoor and indoor installations. NEMA 3R enclosures resist rain, sleet, and ice formation, making this trough suitable for locations where weather exposure is a concern. Electricians use wiring troughs to extend conductor capacity beyond what a panelboard or disconnect can accommodate internally, routing multiple circuits cleanly and safely. At 9.6 pounds, the unit is built with the structural integrity expected in commercial and light industrial electrical work.

This wiring trough is appropriate for residential service entrances, commercial distribution panels, and industrial control installations where additional conductor routing space is required. It is typically installed adjacent to panelboards, meter centers, or disconnect switches to manage incoming and outgoing conductors. The NEMA 3R rating makes it a common choice for outdoor service equipment installations and covered utility areas where the enclosure may see limited weather exposure.

Key Features

• NEMA 3R rated for rain, sleet, and ice resistance in outdoor or semi-protected locations
• Provides additional conductor routing space for panelboards, disconnects, and meter centers
• Designed for use in commercial, industrial, and residential service entrance applications
• Weighs 9.6 pounds for a solid, durable construction suitable for permanent installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style wiring trough for use with panelboards, disconnect switches, and meter centers requiring external conductor management in NEMA 3R rated installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits and verify with a voltage tester before working inside or connecting to any adjacent equipment. Ensure the trough is securely mounted to a structural surface capable of supporting the unit and the weight of installed conductors. Do not exceed the conductor fill capacity as determined by NEC Article 376 for metal wireways.
