Back-to-back welded channel design delivers continuous support for dual installations. This configuration increases rigidity and reduces the number of field-fasteners required, speeding up assembly and minimizing misalignment. It is especially effective for dual runs along ceilings, frames, or adjacent equipment where clean, parallel mounting is critical. The 12 GA steel construction provides high load capacity and long-term durability. The result is fewer mid-project replacements and lower maintenance costs in demanding environments. Use this channel to support heavy cables, bus bars, and mounting brackets with confidence. DURA GREEN corrosion-resistant finish enhances exterior longevity and resists discoloration from humidity or mild chemical exposure. This finish reduces repainting cycles and improves visibility in service areas. Ideal for indoor spaces prone to moisture, or protected outdoor installations when combined with appropriate enclosures. The 1 in H x 120 in L x 1.625 in W footprint delivers a compact, versatile profile that fits tight service rooms and retrofit projects without sacrificing strength. Its generous length supports long spans between supports, reducing the number of hanger points required on large installations. Compatibility with Eaton’s Channel and Combinations catalog simplifies procurement and harmonizes with existing B-Line systems. This reduces BOM complexity, accelerates sourcing, and improves on-site availability of matching fittings and accessories. Engineers and integrators benefit from a unified ecosystem for quicker, error-free installations. The welded channel design minimizes on-site adjustments and rework, supporting faster project turnover and lower total cost of ownership. When combined with standard hardware and Eaton accessories, installers can achieve consistent alignment and compliant installations across varied zones.

FAQs

The B42A-120GRN is designed to be compatible with Eaton's Channel and Combinations catalog. Start with the base channel, then select matching fittings, brackets, and joining hardware from the same B-Line family. Verify hole patterns and load requirements in the Eaton datasheet, and plan for back-to-back mounting if two runs are needed. This approach minimizes mismatches and accelerates procurement while ensuring consistent performance across retrofit installations.
The 12 GA steel construction provides robust load capacity suitable for typical electrical/mechanical support tasks. For exact load ratings, consult the Eaton specification sheet (B42A-120GRN) to match the channel to your application’s span, supports, and mounting hardware. In practice, you gain predictable rigidity and reduced deflection, which supports reliable long-term operation in manufacturing floors and data-center environments.
The B42A-120GRN uses a DURA GREEN finish that offers corrosion resistance suitable for challenging environments. While the finish provides protection, confirm exposure levels against the intended service conditions and local codes. For outdoor or highly corrosive settings, pair the channel with appropriate enclosures or protective accessories and review environmental guidance in the Eaton datasheet.
The certifications field for this model is Not Applicable in the provided spec. If your project requires CE, SIL, or IP ratings, verify compliance through the latest Eaton datasheet and consult with your compliance team. Always cross-check with local regulatory requirements and the project’s specification documents before installation to avoid non-conformance.
Using the B42A-120GRN can reduce installation time due to its compatibility with Eaton accessories and its back-to-back welded design, which simplifies dual-runs and alignment. The 12 GA steel provides durable support with lower maintenance needs, contributing to lower lifecycle costs. In practice, you save on labor, reduce BOM complexity, and improve uptime across facilities that rely on reliable electrical and mechanical mounting.
