Its back-to-back welded channel construction aligns with standard B-Line framing, enabling straightforward use of catalog items from the Channel and Combinations section. With a 12 ft length and 14 gauge steel, it supports consistent layout across multi-gantry or enclosure assemblies while reducing alignment errors during installation.
Key specs include a 12 inch length, 0.81 inch channel height, 1.625 inch channel width, and 14 gauge steel with a plain finish. The channel type is B54, and the product weight is approximately 20.32 pounds. These dimensions provide robust support for mounting rails, equipment, and cable management within electrical enclosures, while maintaining compatibility with standard fittings.
Yes. The back-to-back welded design, 14 gauge steel, and 12 ft span enable strong support for data-center cable management and heavy equipment mounting. Its dimensions optimize space in racks and cabinets, and the plain finish allows for site-specific coatings or painting. The component is compatible with Eaton’s B-Line accessories, streamlining installation in data-center or industrial environments.
The specifications indicate Not Applicable for Certifications. For project compliance, verify SIL, CE, IP, or other regulatory requirements with your internal standards and the project datasheet. While this model may not list certifications, its material and build quality align with standard 14 gauge steel channel practices commonly used in industrial applications. Always cross-check against site-specific electrical and mechanical codes.
Installing the B54A-120 PLN reduces installation time due to its long 12 ft length and back-to-back welded design, which minimizes joints and alignment adjustments. The 14 gauge steel provides a balance of strength and weight, lowering labor costs during assembly and enabling longer spans between supports. The wide compatibility with Eaton accessories further accelerates procurement and reduces the number of SKUs required for a given project, improving overall return on investment.
