Eaton B54H17/8-240GLV Strut Channel - H178 Pattern
Part Number: B54H17/8-240GLV
Quick Summary
Eaton B54H17/8-240GLV strut channel provides robust support for electrical enclosures in harsh industrial environments. This standard, pre-galvanized channel reduces installation time and alignment issues often caused by custom-fabricated supports. Certifications are Not Applicable for this part, but it follows Eaton's B-Line channel standards and uses 14-gauge steel to deliver reliable strength. The design also ensures compatibility with common accessories and KwikSplice systems, helping projects stay on schedule. In practice, this translates to faster builds, easier maintenance, and scalable layouts for industrial facilities across manufacturing, data centers, and utility infrastructure. Engineers appreciate predictable performance under vibration, load sharing, and simple auditing for compliance. This makes procurement easier and reduces total cost of ownership over the system lifecycle.

FAQs
The B54H17/8-240GLV strut channel is fully compatible with KwikSplice splice plates and related fast-assembly accessories. Eaton provides installation sheets and guidelines (CTIS-18/CTIS-19) to simplify field splicing, ensure secure joints, and minimize the need for field welding. This compatibility reduces installation time and improves reliability of mounted systems in electrical and mechanical enclosures.
This part features a 0.81 inch channel height, 1.62 inch width, and a length of 240 inches. It is manufactured from 14-gauge steel and finished in pre-galvanized coating for corrosion resistance. The channel type is B54 with a hole pattern H178, designed for standard accessories and reliable, long-term support in industrial installations.
Best suited for mounting electrical enclosures, machinery supports, and rack systems in manufacturing floors, data centers, and utility rooms. Its long 240 inch length minimizes splices, while the H178 hole pattern provides flexible mounting options. The pre-galvanized finish adds corrosion resistance for outdoor or damp environments and supports a wide range of channel accessories.
According to the data, certifications are Not Applicable for this part. However, it adheres to Eaton's B-Line channel design standards and uses proven 14-gauge steel with a pre-galvanized finish, aligning with common industry practices for steel strut channels and enabling straightforward integration into standard electrical and mechanical installations.
Expect reduced maintenance thanks to the pre-galvanized finish that resists corrosion and extends service life in challenging environments. ROI is driven by faster installation with compatible KwikSplice accessories, less field labor, and fewer joints or welds. The 240 inch length also lowers the number of field cuts, supporting scalable layouts without frequent material handling.
