Sturdy electro-plated steel construction provides corrosion resistance in harsh industrial environments, protecting installed pipe runs and hardware from moisture and chemical exposure. The result is extended service life, reduced maintenance costs, and lower lifecycle costs for facilities relying on B-Line channel systems. By choosing a purpose-built pipe-support bracket rather than a generic fastener, maintenance teams experience fewer field service calls and faster project completion. Precise dimensions—4.25 in height, 4 in length, 1.62 in width—ensure clean alignment with Eaton B-Line components, minimizing mid-span wobble and the need for shims, which shortens commissioning times and reduces stocking variance across lots. Weighing 1.32 lb, the bracket is easy to handle during overhead or confined-space installations, supporting safer, more efficient field work. The design integrates seamlessly with channel nuts and hardware in the B-Line family, simplifying procurement and ensuring a consistent bill of materials across projects. Access to Eaton catalogs and datasheets further streamlines design reviews and purchasing decisions, helping engineers validate fit and performance before ordering. In practice, these advantages translate to faster installations, fewer reworks, and improved lifecycle value in automation and electrical infrastructure projects.

FAQs

The B438ZN is designed specifically as a pipe-support bracket for Eaton's B-Line channel systems. Its 4.25 in height, 4 in length, and 1.62 in width align with standard B-Line components, ensuring straightforward installation with compatible channel nuts and hardware. This reduces misalignment risk and eliminates the need for custom adapters, speeding up field assembly and reducing errors during system commissioning.
The B438ZN measures 4.25 inches in height, 4 inches in length, and 1.62 inches in width, with a weight of 1.32 pounds. It is manufactured from steel with an electro-plated finish, catalogued under B438ZN and UPC 781011552435. These specifications support predictable fit, handling, and compatibility across standard B-Line installations.
The B438ZN uses an electro-plated steel finish, providing basic corrosion resistance suitable for many indoor industrial environments. The data does not specify IP ratings or outdoor-capability. For harsher outdoor or highly corrosive environments, consider alternative finishes or materials, or assess surrounding enclosure protection and maintenance schedules to determine if additional coating or enclosure shielding is required.
Installation relies on compatible channel nuts, U-bolts, and other Eaton hardware designed for the B-Line system. The B438ZN is a dedicated pipe-support bracket that pairs with standard channel components, helping maintain a consistent bill of materials and reducing the risk of mismatched parts. Always reference the Eaton catalogs and datasheet for precise hardware recommendations and torque guidance.
Technical resources are available via Eaton’s catalog sections and the product datasheet. Access the Channel Nuts and Hardware Catalog Section, the Strut Fittings Catalog Section, and the Eaton Specification Sheet for B438ZN to review fit, performance, and installation guidelines before ordering. These resources support design reviews, BOM preparation, and compliant field installations.
