FAQs
Consider using standard strut nuts and fittings compatible with the H178 hole pattern for precise alignment. Plan runs in 120 inch sections to minimize joints, and use Eaton KwikSplice accessories where fast-tracking is required. Confirm load paths and anchor points on a per-project basis to ensure compliant, stable assemblies.
Built from 14 gauge steel with a plain finish, this channel delivers solid load-bearing capacity for typical electrical and mechanical supports. Its 0.81" H, 1.62" W profile and 120 inch length enable modular, scalable backbones for mounting equipment, cable trays, and conduit while keeping weight manageable for field crews.
Yes. Eaton provides installation instructions and KwikSplice accessories designed to work with B-Line strut channels, including splice plates and tab-and-lock components. Using these can reduce field assembly time and improve alignment consistency across long runs, improving project timelines and reliability.
Current data lists Certifications as Not Applicable. For projects with strict regulatory requirements (CE, IP, SIL), confirm applicable standards with your project engineer and electrical manager, and verify compatibility with downstream components in the Eaton B-Line ecosystem.
The modular 120 inch, 14 gauge steel strut channel reduces installation time and part-count by enabling standardization across runs. This translates to lower labor costs, easier future reconfigurations, and faster commissioning of electrical/mechanical systems, delivering measurable efficiency gains in both initial builds and ongoing maintenance projects.
