FAQs
Compatibility centers on the B54 channel type with hole pattern H178 and 14 gauge stainless steel construction (304). It works with Eaton B-Line series fittings, KwikSplice accessories, and channel units designed for 0.81 inch height and 1.62 inch width. For best results, select compatible brackets, splice plates, and supports listed in Eaton catalogs and installation sheets.
Key specs include 240 inches in length, H178 hole pattern, 0.81 inch height, 1.62 inch width, and 14 gauge thickness in stainless steel type 304 over a steel substrate. This combination provides strong load-carrying capability, corrosion resistance, and stable mounting for electrical trays, supports, and cable management systems.
The stainless steel type 304 finish offers corrosion resistance suitable for many indoor and protected outdoor settings. For highly corrosive or marine environments, verify additional finishes or coatings and consult Eaton’s datasheets. If outdoor exposure is anticipated, consider enclosure protections, coatings, or alternate stainless grades recommended in the official catalog.
The provided data lists Certifications as Not Applicable. However, regulatory requirements vary by project, so always confirm CE, IP ratings, or SIL considerations in the official Eaton datasheet and any local standards early in the design phase to ensure compliance for your application.
The 304 stainless finish delivers corrosion resistance, reducing maintenance cycles and extending service life in demanding environments. Standardized B-Line components streamline procurement, stock optimization, and installation time, leading to lower total cost of ownership and faster project completion across electrical, mechanical, and support installations.
