FAQs
The B494-18SS6 is designed for bottom brace B42 channels within Eaton's B-Line strut system. This compatibility ensures a secure, aligned mounting path and streamlines installation in standard rack and enclosure assemblies. Always verify channel type in your project drawings to ensure a perfect fit.
This bracket uses stainless steel type 316 with a steel core, delivering superior corrosion resistance in moist, dusty, and corrosive environments. The 316 finish helps reduce maintenance frequency and extends service life, making it suitable for outdoor or wash-down areas where reliability is critical.
Yes. The 316 stainless finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance, making it appropriate for outdoor or damp environments. When selecting a bracket for outdoor use, ensure proper UV exposure and environmental conditions are considered, but this model offers robust performance in exposed installations.
Certifications: Not Applicable for this model. The specification focuses on material strength, finish, and compatibility with B42 bottom braces. For projects requiring formal certifications, consult the Eaton spec sheet or project standards to determine alternative parts that carry the necessary approvals.
The stainless 316 finish reduces corrosion-related maintenance and part replacement, delivering lower lifecycle costs. Its compatibility with standard B-Line components speeds up installation, shortens project timelines, and provides predictable procurement. Over time, this translates to improved uptime, easier inventory management, and a lower total cost of ownership for regulated facilities.
