Eaton Specification Sheet - B297-42ZN
The Eaton B297-42ZN Bracket is a heavy-duty steel bracket with an electro-plated zinc finish, measuring 42 inches in length, 6.25 inches in height, and 1.62 inches in width, with a single 9/16 inch mounting hole. Business impact: provides durable, corrosion-resistant support that reduces replacement cycles and maintenance costs in demanding environments. Application: ideal for long-channel runs supporting cable trays, conduits, and panels in industrial facilities, enabling faster installation with minimal field adjustments. Feature: 14.4 lb weight contributes to stable, vibration-resistant mounting in fixed installations; Benefit: improved load integrity and reduced downtime during retrofits. Compatibility and installation advantages: engineered to integrate with Eaton’s B-Line system and compatible channel hardware, simplifying procurement and ensuring consistent performance. Objection handling: the electro-plated finish delivers corrosion resistance without additional coatings, while the steel construction handles typical service loads; this minimizes rework and extends asset life. Real-world insight: in high-density electrical rooms, the 42 in length supports clean, organized channel layouts with predictable mounting geometry, which is a common industry requirement for scalable installations.

FAQs
The B297-42ZN Bracket is designed for Eaton B-Line channel systems. It uses a single 9/16 inch mounting hole and matches standard B-Line dimensions for straightforward integration with channel nuts, insulators, and other compatible fasteners. When planning a retrofit, confirm channel width and hole alignment to ensure a clean, secure fit across longer runs.
Key specs include a length of 42 inches, height of 6.25 inches, width of 1.62 inches, weight of 14.4 pounds, finish electro-plated zinc, and material steel. Catalog number B297-42ZN, UPC 781011861896. These values help with enclosure fit checks, load path calculations, and shipping logistics for large-scale installations.
The bracket features an electro-plated zinc finish on steel, which provides corrosion resistance suitable for many indoor industrial settings. However, this designation does not imply outdoor or extreme-weather ratings. For outdoor use, assess additional protective coatings or enclosure provisions, and follow Eaton’s installation guidance for environmental exposure.
Installers should reference Eaton’s Channel Nuts and Hardware catalog sections for compatible fasteners. The bracket’s 9/16 inch mounting hole is designed to work with standard screws or bolts used in B-Line installations, reducing the need for specialty hardware. Ensure hole alignment and load requirements match the fixture and channel type to minimize retrofit time.
The B297-42ZN delivers faster commissioning due to its straightforward single-hole mounting and compatibility with existing B-Line components. The durable electro-plated finish reduces corrosion-related maintenance and rework, lowering total cost of ownership in crowded electrical rooms and industrial facilities over the system’s lifecycle.
