FAQs
The B297-18AL is designed for seamless integration with Eaton’s B-Line channel nuts and hardware. Its 18 in length and 9/16 in mounting holes align with common channel strut configurations, enabling quick, vibration-resistant assemblies. This compatibility reduces field adjustments and ensures consistent attachment across multiple enclosures or racks.
Key specs include 18 in length, 6.25 in height, and 1.62 in width, with aluminum as the finish and base material. The bracket weighs about 6.68 lb and uses a 9/16 in mounting hole for secure fastening. These details support predictable fitment within standard B-Line channel systems.
Yes, the B297-18AL is suited for data center racks and industrial enclosures where lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum components are advantageous. Its compatibility with channel strut systems helps maintain clean, organized mounting for cables, panels, and accessories, while reducing the risk of rust and long-term maintenance.
Start by aligning the bracket with the channel, insert the appropriate nuts, and loosely fasten to allow final alignment. Check that the 9/16 in holes line up with the mounting hardware, then torque to specification. This approach minimizes misalignment and guarantees a stable, vibration-resistant mount for critical assemblies.
The aluminum B-Line bracket delivers lifecycle value through corrosion resistance, reduced weight for easier handling, and compatibility with existing channel nuts, which lowers labor costs during installation and future upgrades. Its durable construction helps extend service intervals and lowers total cost of ownership in multi-site electrical distribution projects.
