Eaton Specification Sheet - B494-18HDG
Braced single bracket design supports precise load distribution on B42 bottom-brace channel, reducing the need for supplementary hardware. This translates to faster install times and fewer field adjustments, improving project throughput on shop floors and in data centers. The 18 in length combined with 8.75 in height and 1.62 in width provides a consistent mounting footprint for equipment, while the 5.09 lb weight keeps installations manageable on vertical racks and overhead runs. Finished in hot-dipped galvanized steel, the bracket delivers superior corrosion resistance for outdoor and damp environments, extending service life and lowering maintenance costs. Its compatibility with Eaton’s B-Line system and standard channel nuts and hardware simplifies procurement and installation, reducing field fabrication time. Notably, the bottom-brace B42 channel specification ensures reliable alignment across assemblies and supports a wide range of electrical and mechanical applications. The result is a robust, scalable solution for industrial automation, data centers, and facilities infrastructure.

FAQs
The B494-18HDG is designed as a braced single bracket for Eaton’s B-Line system and specifically accommodates bottom-brace B42 channel. It works with standard channel nuts and hardware, enabling straightforward mounting and alignment. This compatibility reduces field fabrication, speeds up installation, and ensures consistent load distribution across channel installations in electrical and mechanical applications.
The bracket measures 18 inches in length, 8.75 inches in height, and 1.62 inches in width, with an approximate weight of 5.09 pounds. Made from steel and finished with hot-dipped galvanization, it provides a predictable footprint and robust support for equipment mounted on B-Line channels.
Yes. The bracket uses hot-dipped galvanized steel, which offers enhanced corrosion resistance suitable for outdoor or damp locations. While the data does not list explicit IP or CE certifications, the galvanizing provides performance advantages in harsh environments typical of industrial facilities and data centers.
Install with compatible B-Line channel hardware, ensuring the bottom-brace B42 channel geometry is matched. Verify load ratings and align brackets with adjacent supports to maintain a straight, level run. Using standardized nuts and bolts minimizes field adjustments, accelerates commissioning, and improves long-term system reliability in electrical racks or mechanical supports.
The corrosion-protected, hot-dip galvanized steel construction extends service life, reducing maintenance frequency. Compatibility with standard B-Line components simplifies spare parts logistics, while the straightforward installation reduces labor time. Over a typical capital project, these factors collectively lower total cost of ownership and improve installation efficiency without sacrificing performance.
