FAQs
The B42SHA-240GLV uses the SHA hole pattern, compatible with standard strut fittings and accessories. Start by measuring the span, cut the 240 inch channel to length as needed, and fasten with standard nuts and bolts. Use bridge clips or right-angle brackets to maintain alignment and install supports at designated mounting points for a stable, serviceable system.
Key specs include 1 inch channel height, 1.62 inch width, 240 inch length, 12 gauge steel, pre-galvanized finish, SHA hole pattern, and channel type B42. Weight is approximately 54.4 pounds, and the product is part of the Eaton B-Line strut family, designed for back-to-back welded configurations.
Yes. The 12 gauge steel construction with a 1 inch height and 1.62 inch width provides solid support for heavier loads typical in industrial mounting. The 240 inch length reduces field splicing, and the back-to-back welded design offers stable, long-span support for equipment racks, electrical panels, and mechanical assemblies when properly configured with compatible fittings.
Certifications are listed as Not Applicable for this specific part in the provided data. Nonetheless, the strut channel follows standard B-Line series design practices, uses pre-galvanized steel for corrosion resistance, and remains compatible with widely used fittings and installation methods within industrial electrical and mechanical systems.
The pre-galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance, reducing repainting and maintenance cycles, which lowers lifecycle costs. The 240 inch length minimizes joints and splices, speeding up installation and reducing labor costs. Compatibility with common fittings and accessories also lowers procurement complexity and risk, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership over time.
