Eaton Specification Sheet - B24A-120AL
Dura-Green finish overview
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The B24A-120AL uses aluminum and 14 gauge walls, delivering a high strength-to-weight ratio that reduces overall system weight and simplifies handling on the job site. This translates to faster project completion and lower crane or lift usage in retrofit scenarios, especially for ceiling and wall-mounted framing where access is limited. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The back-to-back welded channel design minimizes the number of separate fasteners and supports required, enabling quicker assembly and fewer alignment errors during installation, which lowers labor costs and enhances field reliability in rack and enclosure builds. Feature → Business Impact → Application: With a 12 in length, 1.625 in width, and 3.25 in height, the channel provides a predictable footprint that fits compact data centers and control panels, improving space planning and reducing overhangs in tight installations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: At 28.84 lb, the unit offers stable mounting for dynamic loads without excessive heft, facilitating overhead runs and wall-mounted configurations while preserving serviceability. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compatibility with Eaton Channel and Combinations Catalog Section and the broader B-Line ecosystem ensures access to fittings, brackets, and accessories, reducing procurement lead times and enabling scalable, modular framing. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Availability of specification sheets and catalogs supports design verification, compliance checks, and precise BOM creation, helping teams avoid costly design changes late in projects.
