Eaton B52A-120PLN Strut Channel - 12 Gauge Plain Steel
Part Number: B52A-120PLN
Quick Summary
Eaton B52A-120PLN Strut Channel enables robust back-to-back support for electrical and mechanical installs in industrial facilities. Engineers often struggle with mounting systems that stay aligned, withstand vibration, and adapt to evolving layouts. Although this catalog entry lists Certifications as Not Applicable, B-Line strut systems commonly align with regional standards and support options like Dura-Green finishes when specified. By standardizing on this channel, projects benefit from predictable install times, simplified procurement, and compatibility with a wide range of Eaton accessories, ultimately reducing risk and total cost of ownership in complex facilities. This makes it a practical choice for data centers, manufacturing floors, and utility rooms where reliability matters.

Dura-Green finish overview
Feature: Back-to-back welded channel design delivers a continuous load path, increasing rigidity and minimizing joint movement even under dynamic equipment vibration. Business Impact: The result is predictable load distribution, reduced maintenance downtime, and longer service life for mounted motors, conduit trays, and modular racks. Application: This configuration is ideal for ceiling-hung or wall-mounted electrical and mechanical assemblies in data centers and manufacturing facilities where reliability matters and future reconfiguration is common.Feature: A 12-gauge steel composition with a plain finish provides strong structural support while keeping weight manageable for overhead and wall installations. Business Impact: You gain robustness against heavy loads and impact without sacrificing ease of handling during installation or future upgrades. Application: The combination is compatible with standard Eaton B-Line accessories and fittings, simplifying procurement and on-site assembly in industrial environments.Feature: Precise dimensions—12 inches in length with a 1.625 inch height and width—support modular, scalable layouts and consistent spacing across multiple runs. Business Impact: This enables repeatable, error-free designs and faster fabrication or field-cutting when adjustments are required. Application: It pairs with Eaton channel nuts, bolts, and fittings to support cables, conduit, and piping along racks, ceilings, and mezzanines.Feature: Comprehensive documentation availability, including the Channel and Combinations Catalog Section and the Eaton specification sheet, aids design reviews and procurement. Business Impact: Quick access to authoritative data reduces approval cycles and minimizes version-control issues in large installations. Application: Use these resources during engineering planning, bid responses, and warranty considerations to ensure compliance and traceability.Feature: Finish options include plain (standard) with documented Dura-Green alternatives, enabling corrosion resistance where specified. Business Impact: Selecting the appropriate finish extends service life in challenging environments and supports sustainability goals with protective coatings. Application: For coastal or humid facilities, coordinate with Eaton's finish catalog to match environmental requirements while maintaining product compatibility. This helps reduce total cost of ownership over the system lifetime.
