Eaton Specification Sheet - B494-24SS6
Feature: Stainless steel type 316 finish provides superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments. Business Impact: Extends service life and reduces corrosion-related maintenance across manufacturing floors and data centers. Application: Ideal for B-Line channel installations where environmental exposure is a concern. This reduces downtime and lowers total cost of ownership by minimizing parts replacements. Feature: 24 in length supports multiple components along the channel, enabling flexible rack and wall mounting. Business Impact: Improves layout efficiency and reduces the need for multiple brackets. Application: Suitable for 24 in span enclosures and modular rack configurations. Feature: Bottom brace B42 channel compatibility ensures a secure, rigid fit. Business Impact: Enhances structural integrity, minimizing vibration and component loosening. Application: Works with Eaton B-Line bottom-brace channel systems in control rooms and industrial cabinets. Feature: Braced single bracket design improves mounting rigidity without excessive bulk. Business Impact: Keeps enclosure profiles compact while delivering reliable support. Application: Common in compact electrical panels and small-control enclosures. Feature: Weight of 6.35 lb balances strength and handling ease. Business Impact: Easy to handle during installation with predictable load performance. Application: Suitable for field deployments where weight constraints matter. Feature: Finish and material combination (steel with 316 stainless) provides robust performance in clean-room and outdoor-like conditions. Business Impact: Reduces risk of corrosion-related failures and simplifies cleaning protocols. Application: Broad compatibility with harsh environments, including industrial facilities and data centers.
