FAQs
The B297-12SS6 is designed to fit standard B-Line strut channels with its 12 inch length and 6.25 inch height, ensuring consistent alignment and straightforward integration with other Eaton strut fittings. The single 9/16 inch mounting hole supports secure attachment while minimizing hardware variety and installation time in electrical assemblies.
Key specs include 12 in length, 6.25 in height, 1.62 in width, and a weight of approximately 4.85 lb. The bracket is fabricated from steel with a stainless steel type 316 finish, providing excellent corrosion resistance for demanding industrial environments.
Yes, the stainless steel 316 finish offers enhanced corrosion resistance suitable for many harsh environments, including damp or wash-down areas. However, verify your specific chemical exposure and follow manufacturer guidance for extreme or specialized conditions. The datasheet notes certifications as Not Applicable, so planned installations should confirm compliance where required.
Mount the bracket to a compatible B-Line strut channel using the 9/16 inch hole, align for even load distribution, and secure with appropriate hardware sized for the channel. Ensure the bracket orientation supports the intended equipment footprint, and verify that all fasteners are torqued per site standards to minimize vibration and movement over time.
Using the B297-12SS6 bracket delivers durable, corrosion-resistant support for long-term reliability, reducing maintenance and part replacements. Its compatibility with standard strut systems, straightforward installation, and predictable dimensions help shorten installation time, simplify inventory, and lower total cost of ownership in industrial automation and electrical installations.
