FAQs
For back-to-back installations, ensure alignment along the primary mounting line and use compatible channel nuts and fittings to maintain a continuous rail. Verify that the 12 gauge steel shell and plain finish are suitable for the environment, and reference Eaton’s Channel and Combinations Catalog for compatible accessories to minimize rework and optimize load distribution.
The 1.625 in width and 3.25 in height establish a compact profile while maintaining rigidity for typical electrical and mechanical loads. The 12 in length supports standard spans with modular fittings. Compatibility with standard B-Line accessories ensures predictable assembly and predictable load paths, reducing the risk of misfit between rails, brackets, and supports.
The catalog entry lists Certifications as Not Applicable. For region-specific regulatory requirements, consult Eaton’s official datasheets and local standards to confirm CE, SIL, IP ratings, or other approvals relevant to your project. This helps ensure compliance for industrial installations in your jurisdiction.
Best suited for overhead mounting rails, conduit and cable tray supports, and equipment mounting in factories, data centers, and process facilities. Its back-to-back welded design supports continuous spans, and its compatibility with Channel and Combinations catalog accessories enables modular, scalable installations with rapid deployment and simplified maintenance.
The back-to-back welded channel reduces installation time and part count, lowering labor costs and material waste. Modular compatibility minimizes downtime during upgrades, while the robust 12 gauge steel construction provides durable support for long service life, lowering replacement frequency and facilitating easier maintenance planning.
