Eaton Specification Sheet - B494-30ZN
Feature: Braced single bracket design aligned to bottom brace B42 channel. Benefit: Ensures rigid, drop-in compatibility with minimal field adjustment, reducing installation time and potential misalignment. Application: Ideal for continuous mounting rails in factory floors, data centers, and electrical rooms. The business impact is faster project completion and lower labour costs when assembling channel-based supports. Feature: 30 inch length, 11.25 inch height, and 1.62 inch width. Benefit: Predictable enclosure positioning and uniform depth for orderly panel layouts. Application: Used in long-span supports and rack mounting where consistent geometry matters for cable management and equipment access. Feature: Electro-plated steel finish. Benefit: Superior corrosion resistance in humid or industrial environments, lowering maintenance cycles. Application: Suitable for data centers, manufacturing floors, and outdoor-rated enclosures where moisture exposure is a concern. Feature: Weight of 8.85 lb. Benefit: Sufficient stiffness with manageable handling during installation, reducing the need for extra lifting equipment. Application: Field service and retrofit projects where personnel safety and handling are priorities. Feature: General and model-specific specs (Catalog Number B494-30ZN, UPC 781011577339). Benefit: Streamlined procurement and repeatability across projects. Application: Works with standard channel nuts and hardware from the Channel Nuts and Hardware catalogs for fast, compatible assemblies.

FAQs
The B494-30ZN is designed for B-Line channel framing with the bottom brace B42 channel. It uses a braced single bracket design to provide secure support for 30 in long runs, and it aligns with the standard B-Line hardware ecosystem, minimizing the need for adapters and ensuring consistent mounting across panels and racks.
Key specifications are 30 in length, 11.25 in height, 1.62 in width, and a weight of 8.85 lb. The finish is electro-plated steel, providing robust corrosion resistance suited for industrial environments while maintaining manageable handling during installation.
Yes. The B494-30ZN is explicitly specified for bottom brace B42 channel configurations and is a braced single bracket designed to integrate directly with that channel type, helping ensure proper alignment and load transfer in channel-based support systems.
The datasheet lists Certifications as Not Applicable. While the bracket uses standard electro-plated steel construction and is compatible with B-Line channel hardware, verify your site-specific regulatory requirements (such as SIL, CE, or IP ratings) against project standards and any applicable Eaton specifications.
Using a standardized Eaton B-Line bracket can shorten installation times, reduce part variance, and simplify procurement and inventory management. The electro-plated finish enhances durability in harsh environments, lowering maintenance intervals and supporting longer service life for channel-based mounting systems in industrial facilities.
