Eaton B293A-18ZN Bracket - Channel Opening Downward
Part Number: B293A-18ZN
Quick Summary
The Eaton B-Line bracket B293A-18ZN provides secure mounting for 18 inch strut channels used in electrical installations. Its downward-opening channel design helps maintain clean layouts by reducing misalignment, wobble, and the risk of cable strain in busy panels. Certifications are not listed for this part, but its steel construction with an electro-plated finish delivers durable, corrosion-resistant performance. Compatible with standard Eaton strut fittings and channel nuts, it enables straightforward installation, predictable mounting hardware, and consistent panel alignment. For procurement teams, the 3.4 lb weight and 18 in length translate to manageable field handling, faster project timelines, and lower total cost.

FAQs
The B293A-18ZN is designed for standard strut channel systems and features a downward-opening channel arrangement with a 9/16 in mounting hole for secure attachment. It works with Eaton B-Line compatible channel nuts and hardware, enabling fast, repeatable installations across electrical panels and equipment racks.
Key specs include 18 in length, 3.5 in height, and 1.62 in width, with a steel, electro-plated finish. The weight is 3.4 lb, and the part uses one mounting hole of 9/16 in diameter. The catalog number is B293A-18ZN and it fits standard strut channel configurations.
The product uses electro-plated steel, which provides corrosion resistance suitable for indoor applications. It does not specify outdoor IP ratings or corrosion certifications. For outdoor or harsh environments, consider protective enclosures or alternative finishes specified by Eaton for extended exposure conditions.
The downward-opening channel directs mounting toward the underside, which aids in cable routing and access to hardware from the front or top of panels. This orientation helps maintain tidy layouts, reduces cable strain, and simplifies future accessory additions within Eaton B-Line strut systems.
Because the B293A-18ZN uses a single 9/16 in mounting hole and is compatible with standard strut fittings, installers can reduce hardware variety and assembly steps. In practice, projects benefit from faster mounting, reduced rework due to misalignment, and lower labor costs—contributing to shorter project timelines and a favorable return on investment.
