Eaton B494-18GRN Bracket - DURA GREEN Bottom Brace
Part Number: B494-18GRN
Quick Summary
The Eaton B494-18GRN Bracket provides secure support for B-Line channel systems in electrical enclosures. Engineers often struggle with mounting options that resist vibration and corrosion while fitting tight spaces. Note: Certifications are not listed for this model, but the heavy-duty steel construction and DURA GREEN finish provide reliable performance; verify SIL, CE, or IP ratings on the Eaton datasheets if your application requires them. This bracket's steel construction and DURA GREEN finish support long service life, while simple B42-bottom-brace compatibility streamlines installs and reduces downtime. For procurement teams, the catalog number B494-18GRN and match to 18 in length, 8.75 in height, and 1.62 in width enable precise BOMs and standardization. In practice, this translates to fewer parts to stock, faster installs, and improved system integrity across electronics, lighting, and data-center installations.

Eaton Specification Sheet - B494-18GRN
Feature: Steel construction combined with a DURA GREEN corrosion-resistant finish delivers long-term reliability in demanding environments such as manufacturing floors, data centers, and utility spaces. Business impact: This reduces maintenance cycles, lowers replacement costs, supports compliant installations in rugged industrial settings, and improves total cost of ownership over a 5–10 year horizon. Application: Ideal for indoor electrical panels and rack assemblies where humidity, dust, or accidental impacts are common, with compatibility to the B42 channel bottom brace. Feature: Braced single bracket design optimized for bottom brace B42 channel provides enhanced rigidity, uniform load transfer, and improved resistance to flex under dynamic conditions. Business impact: Higher load distribution reduces deflection, minimizes vibration transmission to sensitive components, and protects mounted equipment from misalignment during plug-in maintenance. Application: Suitable for panel mounts, fan assemblies, and enclosure components requiring precise alignment in line with DIN rail, equipment racks, and standard B-Line installations. Feature: Exact dimensions—18 in length, 8.75 in height, and 1.62 in width—enable predictable fit across standard B-Line frames and consistent cold-formed mounting clearances. Business impact: Streamlines BOM planning, reduces vestigial inventory, accelerates procurement workflows, and supports scalable configurations for multi-rack deployments. Application: Works with standard Eaton components and channel systems, enabling rapid reconfiguration of racks, service bays, and equipment housings in growing data center environments. Feature: Weight of 5.09 lb enables easier handling during installation, reduces crane and labor time, and minimizes worker fatigue on long runs. Business impact: Faster installs lower project schedules, minimize field costs, and improve safety by reducing heavy lifting and awkward positioning during mounting. Application: Particularly beneficial for field crews assembling modular switchgear, panels, or enclosure segments in tight spaces where maneuverability matters. Feature: Includes cataloging data and UPC 781011577124 for streamlined procurement and accurate stocking in ERP and warehouse systems. Business impact: Accelerates purchasing cycles, reduces mis-picks, improves inventory accuracy, and supports just-in-time manufacturing strategies for B-Line projects. Application: Fits Eaton's Channel Nuts and hardware ecosystem, enabling seamless upgrades to B-Line installations without rework or special tooling.
