Eaton B297-42SS4 Bracket - Stainless Steel 304
Part Number: B297-42SS4
Quick Summary
Eaton B297-42SS4 Bracket is a robust mounting solution for B-Line strut systems used in electrical installations. Engineers often wrestle with corrosion risk, compatibility gaps, and slow installations. Certifications vary by installation; this model lists Not Applicable, while many Eaton components achieve CE marking and IP-rated protection when integrated into compliant assemblies. Designed for rugged, code-compliant mounting, it pairs with Strut Fittings Catalog sections and channel nuts for quick, repeatable installs, delivering lower labor costs and longer service life. With a 42 in length and a 6.25 in height, it aligns with common rack layouts, while 1.62 in width keeps attachment clear of obstructions. The 14.4 lb weight indicates a sturdy, non-warping mount that withstands dynamic loads over time.

FAQs
Install by aligning the bracket with standard B-Line strut channels, insert the 9/16 in mounting hole, and secure with compatible channel nuts and fasteners from Eaton. Ensure the 42 in span fits between supports and torque specifications are followed to prevent deflection. Use protective PPE and confirm load paths meet local codes.
Key specs include 42 in length, 6.25 in height, 1.62 in width, 14.4 lb weight, and a stainless steel type 304 finish. While the data sheet lists Not Applicable for certifications, assess system-level loads with your enclosure and strut channel, ensuring bracket capacity aligns with intended dynamic and static loads.
Yes. The 304 stainless steel finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for data center environments, and the bracket’s dimensions fit common rack and channel configurations. Pair with Eaton Strut Fittings Catalog components to ensure compatibility, and follow data center seismic and mechanical installation practices for reliable performance.
This model lists Not Applicable for Certifications. CE, SIL, and IP markings are typically system- or enclosure-level requirements. If your project mandates CE marking or IP protection, verify the complete assembly, enclosure, or cabinet against applicable standards rather than treating the bracket in isolation.
The stainless steel 304 finish resists corrosion, reducing repainting and replacement frequency in challenging environments. This translates to lower lifecycle cost and less maintenance downtime. Its robust structure also minimizes deflection under load, preserving alignment and extending service life for electrical and mechanical mounting in busy facilities.
