Eaton B54SH-18AL Strut Channel - Aluminum 14 Gauge
Part Number: B54SH-18AL
Quick Summary
Eaton B54SH-18AL Strut Channel provides a rugged aluminum support rail for modular electrical and mechanical installations. In practice, engineers often confront crowded panels, weight penalties, and slow installation when using heavy steel channels. Certifications: Not Applicable per the catalog entry; consult the Eaton datasheet for any CE, IP, or SIL considerations related to your specific installation. With its lightweight aluminum construction and standard-fit compatibility, this channel supports faster installs, easier rework, and reduced lifecycle costs while integrating with B-Line components and KwikSplice accessories for efficient cable management and mounting.

FAQs
Yes. The SH hole pattern aligns with standard B-Line fittings and slotted fasteners used across most strut channel ecosystems. This enables quick assembly with common components and accelerates on-site rework when wiring or layout changes are needed.
Key specs include aluminum construction with 14 gauge thickness, height 0.81 in, width 1.62 in, length 18 in, and weight about 1.365 lb. The SH hole pattern supports typical mounting hardware. For precise load ratings, consult the Eaton specification sheet (B54SH-18AL) as these values are not listed in the catalog entry.
Yes. The aluminum, 14 gauge strut channel is well-suited for general panel mounting, equipment supports, and machine frames in industrial settings where weight savings and corrosion resistance matter. Always assess your specific environmental conditions and use the appropriate accessories for enclosure proximity and exposure.
The catalog entry lists Certifications as Not Applicable. For regulatory or safety requirements, verify with the Eaton datasheet or contact Eaton support to confirm applicable certifications for your installation and region.
Aluminum channels resist corrosion better than many steels, reducing maintenance intervals and long-term costs. The lighter weight also lowers handling risk and shipping costs, while standard fittings enable faster reconfigurations, improving project ROI during system upgrades or expansions.
