FAQs
The B297-18ZN is designed for use with Eaton B-Line strut systems and standard strut channels. It accommodates the typical B-Line mounting hardware and works alongside channel nuts, atr hardware, and related fittings to form a secure support framework for cable trays, panels, and enclosures.
Mounting requires the single 9/16 in diameter hole for secure attachment. Ensure the bracket is aligned with the strut channel, use compatible fasteners, and verify the load path to prevent skew or misalignment. The 18 in length and 6.25 in height help fit standard rack and enclosure footprints while maintaining electrical clearance.
This bracket lists Certifications as Not Applicable and is specified for indoor steel construction with an electro-plated finish. For outdoor or IP-rated environments, review additional protective enclosures or coatings, and consider enclosure-specific, weather-rated accessories to maintain corrosion resistance and safety.
Common applications include electrical enclosures, data center cable management, control panels, and industrial automation racks. It provides a stable mounting point within B-Line channel systems, supporting accessories like cable trays, channel nuts, and hardware to ensure clean layouts and predictable maintenance.
The electro-plated steel construction offers corrosion resistance suitable for indoor environments, reducing maintenance needs over time. Regular inspection for hardware integrity and mounting tightness is advised, particularly in high-vibration installations, to preserve load performance and system alignment.
