Rectangular galvanised steel wiring trough 48 in long by 6 in square with screw-on cover

Wiegmann

Wiegmann RSCG060648GNK electrical box 6x6x48 in galvanised steel

SKU CH-8E50-SKZQK

Galvanised steel wiring trough measuring 6 by 6 by 48 inches with screw-on cover and drip shield, rated NEMA 3R and cULus listed

  • Galvanised steel body resists corrosion for long outdoor life
  • NEMA 3R rating protects wiring from rain and sleet
  • Drip-shield top sheds water away from the enclosure opening
  • Embossed mounting holes simplify wall installation without extra brackets
  • 48 in length provides extended cable routing space

Galvanised Steel Wiring Trough

The Wiegmann RSCG060648GNK is a NEMA 3R rated electrical box built from 16-gauge galvanised steel with a silver finish. It provides a solid, screw-on cover with a drip shield top for wall-mounted wire management in damp or outdoor locations.

Thermals Noise and Power Draw

As a passive metal enclosure it generates no heat, produces no noise and draws no electrical power during normal operation. The galvanised steel body simply houses and protects the wiring installed inside it.

48 Inch Depth and 6 Inch Profile

The trough measures 48.0 inches deep with a 6.0 inch height and width, giving a usable opening depth of 5.88 inches for cable fill. Installers needing a shorter run or a larger cross-section must select a different model.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the 48 in galvanised steel wiring trough to a wall without drilling extra holes?

Use the embossed mounting holes already formed in the 16-gauge galvanised steel back; they align with standard wall anchors and keep the NEMA 3R drip-shield top oriented correctly.

What part of the enclosure will need attention first if the gasket dries out?

The screw-on solid cover relies on its gasket for the NEMA 3R seal; when the gasket hardens, water can enter the 5.88 in usable opening depth, so plan to replace the gasket during routine inspections.

At what point does the 16-gauge steel body become the limiting factor during a cable pull?

The 6.0 in by 6.0 in cross-section and 48.0 in length give a fixed fill capacity; once the conductor count reaches the NEC limit for that volume, the trough itself is the bottleneck — not the cover screws or drip shield.
