Eaton B306SS6 Beam Clamp - 1100 lb, cULus Listed
Part Number: B306SS6
Quick Summary
Eaton B306SS6 beam clamp securely anchors beams in B-Line strut systems for lighting and emergency installations. Many engineers struggle to meet load capacity requirements while achieving quick, vibration-free installation in crowded or retrofit environments. This clamp carries cULus Listed certification and a safety factor of 5, with a 1100 lb load rating. By aligning with standard 3/8”-16 thread/rod and 1/2”-13 screw hardware, it streamlines field assembly. Available as part of Eaton's B-Line series, these clamps integrate with standard beam clamps and strut channels, reducing part variety while improving stock efficiency. For design engineers, the form factor—2.5 in length, 2.4375 in height, and 0.467 in width—supports compact, robust layouts. With cULus listing and practical safety design, it helps ensure regulatory compliance while accelerating install times on busy projects.

Feature: The 1100 lb load capacity paired with a safety factor of 5 delivers reliable, code-compliant performance across typical overhead beam installations. Business Impact: This helps prevent under-specifying clamps, reduces retrofit risk, and improves consistency in critical infrastructure like lighting runs and emergency feeders. Application: Ideal for industrial facilities employing Eaton B-Line strut systems where tight tolerances and rapid commissioning matter. Feature: The 3/8-16 thread/rod size and 1/2-13 screw size provide versatile compatibility with standard fasteners used in most beam-and-strut configurations. Business Impact: Simplifies ordering, speeds on-site assembly, and lowers training time for maintenance staff. Application: Well suited for both new construction and retrofit projects in lighting, power distribution, and analytics installations. Feature: The clamp includes a 0.875 in beam width interface with a 7/8 in flange, and overall dimensions of 2.5 in by 2.4375 in by 0.467 in. Business Impact: Supports compact mounting profiles and reduces misalignment in crowded ceiling layouts. Application: Works with standard strut channels in factories, warehouses, and data-center environments where space is at a premium. Feature: cULus Listed certification confirms compliance with UL and CSA safety requirements, helping projects meet multiple regulatory regimes. Business Impact: Facilitates procurement governance and reduces vendor diversification by providing a single, certified clamp for multiple trades. Application: Essential for multi-disciplinary facilities where electrical, mechanical, and structural teams share a common hardware specification. Feature: The included setscrew ensures immediate, secure clamping upon installation, minimizing tempering and rework during commissioning. Business Impact: Improves vibration resistance in dynamic environments, lowering maintenance costs and extending service life. Application: Especially beneficial in riser systems and elevated installations where reliable fastener performance reduces downtime.

FAQs
The B306SS6 is designed for a 0.875 in beam width and uses a 3/8-16 thread/rod size with a 1/2-13 screw size, plus a setscrew for secure clamping. This combination aligns with common B-Line strut system components, simplifying selection and reducing the need for custom hardware. In practice, this leads to faster procurement and steadier installations across lighting and emergency systems.
The B306SS6 offers an 1100 lb load capacity with a safety factor of 5. This specification provides a robust margin for typical overhead support in lighting and emergency installations, helping engineers meet design requirements while minimizing overdesign. The rating supports reliable performance under dynamic conditions common in industrial environments.
Yes. With cULus Listed certification and steel construction, the B306SS6 is suited for retrofit and new-build applications in facilities that demand certified components for safety-critical installations. Its compatibility with standard hardware accelerates upgrades, while the safety factor adds resilience against vibration and incidental loads during operation.
The B306SS6 carries cULus Listed certification, indicating UL and CSA compliance. This dual recognition simplifies multi-trade procurement, supports regulatory approvals, and reduces risk in projects requiring certified components for safety-critical systems, such as lighting and emergency power distribution.
Key maintenance considerations include the setscrew being included for immediate secure clamping, which reduces commissioning time and limits field adjustments. The clamp’s certified construction and robust load rating contribute to lower downtime and longer service life, delivering a favorable ROI for facilities with frequent upgrades or expansions.
