Long-span capability reduces the number of joints and fittings, lowering installation time and potential alignment errors while improving load distribution in rack and support runs. The 0.81 in height by 1.62 in width with 12 gauge steel provides high rigidity and predictable performance for heavy equipment mounting, increasing system reliability and reducing maintenance needs. A pre-galvanized finish delivers corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and semi-exposed environments, translating to lower lifecycle costs and fewer repaint or replacement cycles. Compatibility with KwikSplice cables and a broad range of B-Line accessories simplifies field assembly, minimizes supplier variability, and supports standardized configurations across multiple facilities. The 288 inch length enables fewer field joints, promoting cleaner installations and easier future expansion. Documentation and catalog references support accurate sourcing and faster procurement for engineers and buyers.

FAQs
The B52-288 GLV Strut Channel is designed to work seamlessly with KwikSplice fittings and other B-Line accessories. This compatibility enables rapid, tool-friendly installations, reduces the need for through-bolts and separate hardware, and supports standardized mounting across cabinets, racks, and cable management paths. For best results, consult Eaton's installation guides and the KwikSplice accessory catalog when planning a retrofit or new build.
Key dimensions are 288 inches in length, 0.81 inches in height, and 1.62 inches in width, with a 12 gauge steel construction. The channel weighs approximately 31.512 pounds per section, providing a robust backbone for heavy loads while maintaining manageable handling during installation and on-site adjustments.
The channel uses a pre-galvanized finish for corrosion resistance, making it suitable for indoor and semi-exposed environments typical of manufacturing floors and service corridors. For severe outdoor exposure, assess additional coating or enclosure strategies and follow manufacturer guidelines to ensure long-term performance and code compliance.
Plan for consistent spacing, secure hangers, and compatible fittings to maximize load distribution along the 288 inch span. Use Eaton’s installation instructions and the Channel and Combinations catalog to select appropriate support hardware, H-straps, and bridging components. Pre-planning with the catalog sections reduces field rework and helps maintain precise alignment across multiple runs.
Choosing 12 gauge pre-galvanized B52-288 GLV delivers higher structural rigidity and corrosion resistance, reducing maintenance, repaint, and replacement cycles. The long 288 inch length minimizes joints, speeding up project timelines and enabling scalable future expansions. This translates to lower total cost of ownership and improved uptime for electrical, mechanical, and data-center support systems.
