FAQs
The B54-17 7/8 SS6 is designed for standard Eaton B-Line strut systems and supports common fittings, fittings, and KwikSplice accessories. It enables rapid assembly of electrical and mechanical supports, with predictable geometry for consistent alignment and reduced field rework.
14 gauge steel paired with stainless steel type 316 delivers superior corrosion resistance and structural rigidity. This combination extends service life in washdown, outdoor, or chemically aggressive environments, while maintaining load-bearing capacity for typical automation mounting applications.
Yes, the stainless steel 316 finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance suitable for outdoor installations and washdown-prone areas. For extreme conditions, verify exact OEM specifications and local standards, but the 316 material is a strong baseline for durable outdoor and industrial use.
The datasheet lists Not Applicable for certifications. If CE, IP, or SIL compliance is required for your project, consult Eaton’s official datasheets or contact Eaton technical support to confirm current regulatory approval status and any project-specific documentation.
Benefits include reduced maintenance due to corrosion resistance, faster installation with compatible KwikSplice accessories, and standardized B-Line components that lower parts variety. Over time, these factors translate into lower labor costs, predictable inventory needs, and a shorter project timeline for automation and electrical installation projects.
