Eaton B494-42HDG Bracket - Hot-dipped galvanized
Part Number: B494-42HDG
Quick Summary
Eaton B-Line series bracket provides a rugged mounting solution for supporting channel assemblies in electrical enclosures and data centers. In practice, engineers rely on this bracket to maintain precise alignment across multiple sections, even in crowded electrical rooms or data centers. The 16 in height, 42 in length, and 1.62 in width provide a balanced footprint for supporting vertical runs while keeping cable paths clear. Facilities benefit from its hot-dipped galvanized finish, which resists corrosive exposure in industrial environments, and the B42 channel compatibility reduces installation steps, though certifications are not listed in this data. This combination supports faster project timelines, lower maintenance costs, and predictable lifecycle performance.

FAQs
To install, align the bracket with the B42 channel, position the bottom brace as specified, and secure using standard channel nuts and bolts. Take advantage of the bracket's 12.85 lb weight to manage handling during installation, and ensure the connection is tight to prevent movement under vibration. Refer to Eaton's channel nuts and hardware catalog for compatible fasteners and torque guidance.
Key specs include 42 in length, 16 in height, and 1.62 in width, with a weight of 12.85 lb. The bracket is made from steel and finished with hot-dipped galvanizing for corrosion resistance. It is designed for use with bottom brace B42 channel sections and is categorized as a braced single bracket in the Eaton B-Line family.
The hot-dipped galvanized steel finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance suitable for damp or industrial environments. However, unit-specific outdoor suitability should be confirmed against the latest Eaton datasheet and project environmental requirements. Always verify with the official specification sheet before outdoor deployment or use in highly corrosive atmospheres.
Certification field for this part is listed as Not Applicable in the provided data. For project-specific regulatory, safety, or compliance needs, consult Eaton’s specification sheet or contact a field representative to confirm applicable certifications or alternatives that meet your regional requirements.
The bracket’s galvanized finish and robust steel construction reduce corrosion-related maintenance and downtime, while its compatibility with B42 channels speeds installation and retrofit projects. Over the lifecycle, this translates to lower maintenance costs, fewer field modifications, and more predictable performance across rack and enclosure applications.
