Feature Back-to-back welded channel design provides continuous framing with fewer joints. This reduces field welding requirements and alignment errors, delivering measurable time savings during installation and future modifications. Application domains include large equipment supports, cable tray mounting, and overhead framing in manufacturing plants and data centers. Feature Slotted holes enable precise adjustability without re-drilling, improving alignment during retrofit projects. Business impact: reduces rework and procurement delays, increasing install velocity and site safety. Application: electrical distribution racks, machine guarding frameworks, and modular shelving in industrial spaces. Feature Hot-dip galvanized finish provides robust corrosion resistance across damp, wash-down, or outdoor environments. Impact: longer service life, lower maintenance costs, and enhanced compliance with harsh plant conditions. Application: data centers, food-processing facilities, chemical plants, and outdoor installations that demand durability. Feature 240 inches long enables long-span framing with fewer joints, cutting total components and labor. Impact: simplified design handoffs, reduced inventory, and faster project completion. Application: machining lines, spray booths, and facility-wide framing runs where continuous support is needed. Feature Compatibility with a broad line of B-Line accessories ensures scalable setups and straightforward upgrades. Impact: rapid configuration changes, broad compatibility with nuts, bolts, channel brackets, and supports, and reduced supplier risk. Application: initial builds and future reconfigurations in automation cabinets, electrical rooms, and facility-wide framing.

FAQs
The B12SHA-240HDG is a back-to-back welded strut channel in Eaton's B-Line family, designed for use with the standard B-Line accessory lineup. It accepts common nuts, bolts, and fittings through slotted holes, enabling quick mounting of brackets, supports, and cable trays. The channel's long 240 inch length reduces joint counts and simplifies layout.
The channel uses structural-quality steel with a hot-dip galvanized finish to resist corrosion in harsh environments. Load performance depends on mounting conditions, supported spans, and accessory selection; however, HDG provides durable protection against moisture, chemicals, and washdown. For critical applications, consult Eaton's datasheet and implement proper end supports and fasteners.
Yes. The B12SHA-240HDG back-to-back welded channel is well-suited for modular framing in data centers, factory automation enclosures, and electrical rooms. Its 240 inch length supports long spans with fewer joints, while compatibility with a full range of accessories enables rapid configuration, future upgrades, and clean cable management.
The product data lists Not Applicable for Compliances and Certifications, and there is no CE, IP, or SIL certification indicated here. While the hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion protection, verify local codes and Eaton datasheets for any regulatory or industry-specific requirements relevant to your project.
Hot-dip galvanizing reduces ongoing maintenance by delaying corrosion-related degradation, extending service life, and lowering replacement costs. The 240 inch length also minimizes joints and field labor, speeding deployment and potentially reducing labor costs. Combined with the broad accessory ecosystem, it supports scalable framing and faster reconfiguration.
