Dura-Green finish overview
Galvanized back-to-back welded channel delivers corrosion resistance and structural rigidity, reducing maintenance cycles and unexpected downtime. This translates to longer service life for electrical framing in manufacturing plants and data centers, where vibration and humidity are common. The back-to-back weld configuration supports mounting of accessories on both faces, enabling more versatile layouts in cramped spaces. 12 inch product length paired with a precise 4.875 inch height and 1.625 inch width ensures predictable fit in standard racking and enclosure footprints. This dimensional stability improves alignment during panel installation and cable routing, reducing field rework. Compatibility with the B-Line series hardware and standard slotted channel allows fast integration with existing support systems. Weight of 4.94 lb provides a balance of strength and manageability on-site, aiding in manual handling and reducing crane or forklift dependence for small projects. The catalog number B12A-240GLV and UPC 781011839994 streamline procurement and traceability, while the galvanized finish supports corrosion protection in moderate to severe environments. For projects with strict certification demands, verify regional requirements with Eaton to ensure alignment with your end-use standards.

FAQs
The B12A-240GLV is designed to work with standard B-Line slotted channel accessories and framing hardware, enabling straightforward integration into existing support systems. Its back-to-back welded configuration supports mounting on both faces, which simplifies layout planning in tight spaces. This compatibility minimizes custom fabrication and accelerates project timelines while maintaining alignment and load paths for electrical gear and containment.
Cataloged as a 12 inch long back-to-back welded channel, the B12A-240GLV measures 4.875 inches in height and 1.625 inches in width, with an approximate weight of 4.94 pounds. These precise dimensions support consistent fitment with standard enclosures, mounting rails, and compatible accessories, reducing field adjustments and misalignment during installation.
Yes. The B12A-240GLV uses a galvanized finish, which provides enhanced corrosion resistance suitable for many industrial environments, including damp or dusty facilities. This finish helps extend service life and reduces maintenance needs for electrical framing, supports, and mounting rails in harsh conditions.
The datasheet for B12A-240GLV lists Compliances and Certifications as Not Applicable. If your project requires CE, IP, SIL, or other regional certifications, verify with Eaton and cross-check local regulatory requirements before procurement to ensure full alignment with your application’s safety and reliability standards.
Back-to-back welded channels reduce field welding and rework, enabling faster assemblies and cleaner layouts. The galvanized finish minimizes corrosion-related maintenance, contributing to lower lifecycle costs. Together with compatibility to standard accessories, this design lowers inventory complexity and labor hours, delivering a favorable return on investment for medium to large electrical framing projects.
