Eaton Specification Sheet - B12A-120AL
Dura-Green finish overview
Feature → Business Impact → Application: Aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance and reduced weight, enabling easier handling during site installation and lowering manual handling risk on the shop floor. This translates to faster commissioning and lower labor costs, especially in constrained or elevated work areas where crane or lift time is limited. Application: electrical and mechanical support in data centers, manufacturing lines, or building automation enclosures where durable, lightweight channel is advantageous. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Back-to-back configuration supports continuous mounting across modules, reducing the need for intermediate connectors and improving structural rigidity. Result: faster assembly, fewer misalignments, and more predictable load paths in rack and panel arrangements. Application: uprights, cross-members, and multi-module supports in industrial enclosures. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 12 gauge aluminum with precise 12 in length, 4.875 in height, and 1.625 in width ensures a standardized footprint. Benefit: compatibility with a wide range of fittings and accessories, simplifying spec alignment and inventory management. Application: retrofit projects where existing B-Line components are used to extend or reconfigure layouts. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Clear cataloging (B12A-120AL) and UPC enable accurate procurement, traceability, and stock control. Benefit: faster reordering, reduced counterfeit risk, and improved audit readiness for regulated environments. Application: large facilities and projects with strict procurement controls. Note: Always confirm accessory compatibility and installation guidance with Eaton’s specification sheet to address any unique project constraints.
