Eaton B72-240GLV Strut Mini Channel - 18 Gauge Steel
Part Number: B72-240GLV
Quick Summary
The Eaton B72-240GLV strut mini channel provides a durable mounting path for rack and equipment support in electrical assemblies. Installations often suffer from misalignment, limited adjustability, and corrosion-prone framing that slow projects and raise costs. Certification notes show Not Applicable; engineers should verify CE compliance and consider corrosion protection in damp or dusty environments. With a 0.46 in tall, 0.81 in wide profile and 18-gauge steel, this channel delivers rigidity without bulk. The pre-galvanized finish supports quick installations and reliable, long-term performance across Eaton B-Line systems.

FAQs
The B72-240GLV is ideal for electrical enclosures, rack and equipment mounting, and mid-duty support in industrial and commercial facilities. Its 240 inch length reduces the number of joints for long spans, while the 18-gauge steel and pre-galvanized finish provide corrosion resistance in typical indoor environments. It pairs with standard mini-channel fittings for quick, scalable installations.
Yes. The B72 channel type is designed for standard mini-channel fittings and accessories, enabling straightforward retrofits and expansion. This compatibility reduces procurement complexity and allows engineers to source off-the-shelf components for fast on-site assembly and future upgrades.
Key specs include a length of 240 inches, height of 0.46 inches, and width of 0.81 inches, with a weight of approximately 5.74 pounds. These dimensions help determine support spans, fit within confined electrical rooms, and ensure the correct mounting hardware is used for secure, code-compliant installations.
The product data lists certifications as Not Applicable. Engineers should verify CE compliance and assess material protection levels for the target environment. While not labeled with typical safety certifications, the pre-galvanized steel construction aligns with common industry practices for corrosion resistance in standard MEP installations.
Pre-galvanized 18-gauge steel channels offer long-term durability with reduced corrosion-related maintenance, lowering lifecycle costs. The modularity and compatibility with standard fittings shorten installation times, decrease field labor, and simplify future upgrades or reconfigurations for evolving electrical and mechanical systems.
