FAQs
The B54H17/8-120SS4 is designed to integrate tightly with Eaton’s KwikSplice accessories and standard B-Line channel hardware. Its 120 in length and H178 hole pattern align with common mounting practices, enabling quick, secure splicing and straightforward installation without custom adapters. This compatibility reduces assembly time and inventory fragmentation in industrial installations.
Key specs include 0.81 in height, 1.62 in width, 14 gauge steel, and a 120 in length with hole pattern H178, finished in stainless steel type 304. These dimensions provide a rigid yet manageable support rail that resists corrosion, enabling reliable mounting in enclosure backplanes and framing. The combination supports consistent alignment and long service life in rugged environments.
Yes, its stainless steel type 304 finish delivers enhanced corrosion resistance appropriate for many harsh environments, including some outdoor and wash-down areas. While not explicitly certified for outdoor weathering in the catalog, the material choice provides a robust barrier against rusting and deterioration compared with plain steel channels.
The catalog for this item lists Certifications as Not Applicable. Nevertheless, users should verify project-specific regulatory requirements for assemblies and fasteners in their region, and confirm compatibility with any end-use standards relevant to enclosure assemblies and support systems.
The 304 stainless finish and 14 gauge construction reduce corrosion-related maintenance and premature part replacement, lowering lifecycle costs. Its compatibility with standard B-Line hardware and KwikSplice accessories simplifies procurement and field assembly, decreasing labor hours. Over the long term, this translates to higher uptime and lower total cost of ownership for industrial support rails.
