Dura-Green finish overview
Back-to-back welded channel design enables two profiles to share a single backbone, reducing fastener usage and installation time while improving structural continuity in long-span frames for electrical and mechanical assemblies. This translates to faster project completion, fewer field adjustments, and more predictable loading in data centers, manufacturing floors, and retrofit sites. Aluminum 12 Gauge material provides corrosion resistance and lighter weight than steel, lowering handling risk and shipping costs while maintaining strength for high-load applications. The lightweight yet rigid profile supports quick installation of racks, cable trays, and equipment mounts, delivering improved site safety and reduced labor hours over the project lifecycle. A 240 inch length minimizes joints and misalignment across large layouts, enabling cleaner, more reliable framing and faster commissioning. The compact 1.62 inch by 1.62 inch footprint maximizes bay space, simplifies cable management, and accommodates dense installations in electrical rooms and raised-floor environments. Compatibility with standard B-Line accessories and the B22 channel type ecosystem reduces engineering time and procurement complexity, ensuring consistent mounting across legacy and new builds. Comprehensive documentation and catalogs provide installation guidance, reducing risk in compliance-focused projects and supporting repeatable, scalable deployments.

FAQs
The B22A-240AL is designed to integrate with Eaton’s B-Line channel ecosystem, accepting standard B22 fittings, fasteners, and accessories. It works with common slotted nuts, brackets, and cross members, enabling engineers to build frames, racks, or support runs without custom parts. This compatibility reduces engineering time and procurement complexity while maintaining a consistent mounting strategy.
Back-to-back welded channels provide a continuous attachment surface with no exposed seams, improving load transfer and reducing joint looseness under vibration. This creates a more predictable load path, strengthening cable support and equipment mounts. In practice, you gain safer, more durable framing for long spans in data centers, manufacturing floors, and service corridors.
Yes. The 240 in length supports long spans with fewer joints, while the aluminum 12 gauge construction delivers corrosion resistance and lighter handling compared with steel. This makes it well-suited for data centers, industrial facilities, and electrical rooms where robust framing, reliable support, and easier installation are critical for uptime and lifecycle cost reduction.
Certifications are not listed for this item; CE, SIL, and IP ratings are not specified. For projects requiring regulatory compliance, review Eaton datasheets and request certification documentation for the exact configuration, or consider alternative B-Line products that meet specific standards and project requirements.
The aluminum 12 gauge back-to-back welded channel offers reduced weight, corrosion resistance, and fewer joints, which lowers installation labor, handling risk, and maintenance over time. In environments with humidity or exposure to contaminants, the material choice decreases replacement frequency and service interruptions, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership for long-life framing in industrial facilities.
