Eaton Specification Sheet - B62-240PLN
Feature: 18 gauge steel with a plain finish → Business Impact: Provides durable, corrosion-resistant framing that withstands industrial environments while remaining easy to cut and handle on site. Application: Ideal for general electrical and mechanical mounting in control panels and racks. The result is longer service life and fewer replacements in demanding facilities. Feature: 240 in length → Business Impact: Reduces the number of joints and supports longer runs without mid-span supports, cutting installation time and labor costs. Application: Suitable for ceiling runs or wall-mounted frames in data centers or manufacturing floors. Industry context: Supports scalable infrastructure upgrades with predictable performance. Feature: Compact 0.81 in x 0.81 in cross-section → Business Impact: Enables efficient use of tight spaces and compact layouts without sacrificing load capacity. Application: Great for crowded electrical closets and panel interiors where space is at a premium. Feature: Channel type B62 compatibility → Business Impact: Ensures seamless integration with standard fittings and supports Eaton’s broader strut system ecosystem, reducing procurement complexity. Application: Fast, reliable assembly for bulk framing projects. Feature: Weight of 8.4 lb and plain finish → Business Impact: Manageable weight for on-site handling while maintaining a clean, professional appearance in finished installations. Application: Simplifies handling during field installs and minimizes protection requirements during shipping. Industry insight: When selecting strut components for large-scale projects, choosing a 240 inch B62 mini channel with 18 gauge steel supports consistent load performance, easier inventory management, and compatibility with existing B-Line accessories, delivering measurable time and cost savings over the project lifecycle.

FAQs
To install the B62-240PLN, begin by determining the desired length and mounting points, then cut to length as needed. Use standard B-Line fittings and fasteners compatible with 18 gauge steel, ensuring channel orientation matches load paths. Secure with appropriate anchors or hardware for the mounting surface, align joints precisely, and verify plumb and level for long-span runs. This approach minimizes rework and maintains consistent support across assemblies.
Key specifications include 0.81 in height, 0.81 in width, 240 in length, 18 gauge steel, and a plain finish. Channel type is B62, product weight is 8.4 lb, and UPC is 781011276157. These dimensions and material characteristics drive load-bearing capacity, compatibility with standard fittings, and ease of integration into Eaton’s B-Line strut systems.
Yes. The B62-240PLN mini channel is designed for electrical and mechanical mounting within control panels, enclosures, and equipment racks. Its 18 gauge steel provides sufficient rigidity for typical enclosure framing, while the 240 inch length supports long spans with fewer joints. Ensure compatibility with your fittings and project loads, and verify regulatory requirements for your installation.
The product data lists Certifications as Not Applicable. For regulated environments, confirm CE, UL, or local compliance requirements with your project specifications. While the part itself doesn’t claim specific certifications, its steel construction and standard B-Line compatibility support reliable performance when used per Eaton’s installation guidelines.
Choosing the B62-240PLN can reduce field labor through longer-span runs and fewer joints, while maintaining alignment with standard B-Line fittings. The 18 gauge steel and plain finish offer durable, low-maintenance framing that resists routine wear in industrial settings. Over the project life, this translates to lower maintenance costs and more predictable installation schedules.
