FAQs
The B54-18AL is ideal for standard mounting in control panels, equipment racks, and enclosure frames where a rigid, lightweight aluminum channel is required. Its 18 inch length and precise 0.81 in by 1.62 in cross-section support consistent assemblies, while its compatibility with Eaton B-Line accessories and KwikSplice components enables fast, scalable configurations without custom fabrication.
Key specs include a length of 18 inches, height of 0.81 inches, width of 1.62 inches, and a material gauge of 14. The channel is aluminum and weighs 1.524 pounds. The catalog number is B54-18AL, and the UPC is 782051214420, with channel type identified as B54.
The B54-18AL is designed for standard strut channel applications and general mounting in enclosures and framing. While it provides solid support for light to medium loads and cable management interfaces, for very heavy-duty tray or high-load scenarios you may consider thicker gauges or alternative support systems. It integrates well with modular accessories to adapt to varying load requirements.
According to the data provided, certifications are Not Applicable for this model. Customers should verify regional regulatory requirements and confirm any site-specific compliance needs, especially where CE, IP, or SIL classifications are mandated by procurement specs or end-user standards.
Benefits include faster installation due to precise dimensions and lightweight handling, reduced field fabrication, and lower labor costs. Aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance and longer service life, lowering maintenance and replacement needs. The product’s compatibility with a broad ecosystem of accessories also shortens design cycles and enables scalable performance across plant layouts.
