FAQs
To install, measure the span, cut to length as needed, and align with the H178 hole pattern. Use appropriate fasteners and level the channel before securing to mounting surfaces. For modular assemblies, leverage KwikSplice splice plates and compatible fittings to minimize on-site fabrication and ensure a secure, code-compliant frame.
H178 is Eaton’s standardized hole pattern for this B54 channel family, providing consistent alignment points for accessories, brackets, and braces. It enables quick attachment of supports and simplifies reconfiguration, reducing installation time and improving future upgrade capabilities in control rooms and industrial equipment rooms.
Yes. The B54H17/8-120GLV is designed to integrate with KwikSplice accessories, including splice plates and related hardware. This compatibility streamlines splicing in cable tray and channel assemblies, reducing field fabrication and enabling faster, safer installations with fewer misalignments.
The channel is made from steel with a 14 gauge thickness and a pre-galvanized finish for corrosion resistance. It weighs approximately 9.3 lb per 120 in length, with dimensions of 0.81 in height and 1.62 in width, supporting robust vertical and horizontal framing in demanding environments.
This strut channel is well-suited for electrical and mechanical support framing in industrial automation, data centers, and control cabinets. Its long 120 in length, standard hole pattern, and durable finish make it ideal for mounting enclosures, cable trays, and equipment racks while enabling scalable, modular system design.
