Eaton Specification Sheet - B297-12HDG
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The bracket is constructed from steel with a hot-dipped galvanized finish, delivering superior corrosion resistance that reduces maintenance costs in harsh environments and extends service life for outdoor or damp installations. This translates to lower total cost of ownership and less frequent component replacement in industrial facilities that rely on reliable mounting for electrical and mechanical gear. Application: suitable for outdoor or high-humidity data centers, manufacturing floors, and warehouse automation where longevity matters. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Dimensions of 12 in length, 6.25 in height, and 1.62 in width provide a compact yet strong mounting footprint, enabling efficient space utilization and easier routing of cables and pipes. This supports scalable layouts and quick reconfiguration for evolving system needs. Application: ideal for new builds and retrofits in system housing where precise bracket sizing is critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: A single 9/16 in mounting hole (plus one mounting hole configuration) simplifies alignment with channel nuts and bolts, reducing installation time and misalignment risk. This improves site safety and speeds up commissioning. Application: compatible with standard strut channel hardware, streamlining procurement and on-site assembly. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Weight of 4.85 lb and solid steel construction provide dependable load distribution across strut systems, helping maintain alignment under dynamic loads and vibration. Application: supports equipment mounts, cable trays, and lighting fixtures in mechanical rooms and substation areas. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Finish and material (hot-dipped galvanized steel) deliver durability against corrosion without the need for frequent recoating, supporting long service life in exposed environments. Application: suitable for installations requiring a durable, maintenance-friendly bracket within Eaton B-Line ecosystems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compatibility with Eaton Strut catalog sections ensures access to matching components and documentation, reducing design uncertainty and accelerating project timelines. Application: effective in modular builds, data centers, and industrial facilities where standardized mounting is essential.
