Dura-Green finish overview
316 stainless finish delivers excellent corrosion resistance, extending component life in demanding environments and reducing replacement cycles, which lowers total cost of ownership in food processing, chemical processing, and outdoor installations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 316 stainless steel finish resists rust and chemical attack, which translates to longer maintenance intervals and lower downtime, particularly in wash-down areas or outdoor enclosures. This supports reliable operation in pharmaceutical labs and food & beverage plants where cleanliness and sanitation are critical. 12 gauge steel construction provides robust load-bearing capacity, reducing sag and bending under heavy equipment, which minimizes rework and service calls while ensuring safe mounting of controllers and power distribution gear in data centers and manufacturing lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Back-to-back welded channel design eliminates gaps between runs, improving rigidity and resistance to lateral movement; this is essential for seismic zones and high-vibration environments, enabling secure cross-aisle supports and higher system integrity. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 12 inch length with precise 1.625 inch width and 3.25 inch height yields predictable mounting footprints and compatibility with standard strut hardware, reducing the time to spec and install for panel builders and system integrators. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compatibility with B22 channel type and Eaton accessory ecosystem simplifies procurement, stocking, and future expansions, delivering faster project fulfillment and consistent performance in control panels, machine frames, and racking systems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The overall combination of corrosion resistance, rigidity, and compatible hardware supports measurable uptime improvements and lower lifetime costs for industrial facilities undertaking regular expansion or retrofits.

FAQs
The B22A-120SS6 is designed for seamless integration with Eaton B-Line strut hardware. Begin by aligning channel runs, use compatible back-to-back connectors, and secure with standard bolts or nuts per the catalog guidance. Ensure the 12 inch length aligns with your rack footprint, and verify fit with the adjacent channel sections to maintain rigidity and minimize movement.
Key specs include length of 12 inches, width of 1.625 inches, height of 3.25 inches, weight around 38.2 pounds, gauge 12, and material steel finished in stainless steel type 316. Channel type is B22, and the finish provides excellent corrosion resistance suitable for harsh environments and wash-down areas.
Yes. The 316 stainless finish provides superior corrosion resistance, making it appropriate for outdoor installations and corrosive environments typical in chemical plants, food processing, and outdoor equipment racks. Always confirm environmental exposure levels and cleaning regimens to ensure long-term performance and consider schedule-based inspection for critical load points.
Certifications are listed as Not Applicable for this product. The channel relies on the material specification (316 stainless steel, 12 gauge) to deliver performance in industrial applications. While no SIL, CE, or IP ratings are indicated, the hardware and finish align with general industry practices for durable mounting solutions.
The principal ROI comes from extended service life and reduced maintenance in aggressive environments. The 316 stainless finish resists corrosion, lowering replacement costs and downtime. Combined with the robust 12 gauge steel, this channel supports heavier loads with fewer retrofit events, delivering lower total cost of ownership over facility expansions, retrofits, and continuous operation.
