Eaton B494-12SS6 Bracket - Stainless Steel 316
Part Number: B494-12SS6
Quick Summary
The Eaton B-Line bracket provides rugged support for strut-channel installations in electrical and automation panels. Engineers often struggle with misalignment, corrosion risk, and slow installs when sourcing compatible hardware. There are no listed certifications for this model; still, the stainless steel type 316 finish delivers robust corrosion resistance for harsh environments. Designed for bottom-brace B42 channels, this bracket also supports streamlined installation and long-term reliability. For procurement teams, this compact 8.75 in height by 12 in length bracket reduces kit complexity and simplifies stocking as a standard Eaton B-Line component. This aligns with safe, compliant electrical assemblies and supports faster retrofit projects.
