Eaton BFP42-240 B-Line straight section - Polyester resin
Part Number: BFP42-240
Quick Summary
The Eaton BFP42-240 straight section provides fiberglass channel support for electrical mounting systems. Installers often contend with corrosion-prone metal channels that add weight and complicate long runs. Certifications are listed as Not Applicable in the datasheet, with CE, IP, and SIL not specified here—verify during procurement for regulated environments. Leveraging polyester resin in a lightweight, corrosion-resistant form delivers reliable, cost-effective mounting for industrial facilities, data centers, and outdoor installations. This combination supports faster installation, reduced lifecycle costs, and improved compliance in demanding environments. Coupled with Eaton’s B-Line ecosystem, the straight section simplifies maintenance planning and spare-part availability across multi-site projects.

FAQs
The BFP42-240 is designed as a straight-section component within the Eaton B-Line fiberglass channel family, ensuring straightforward compatibility with standard B-Line brackets, fittings, and carriers. Its 240 inch length supports long runs with minimal joints, reducing alignment issues and installation time. When planning retrofits, verify connector types and compatible accessories in the Eaton specification sheet to maintain system integrity.
Key dimensions are 240 inches in length, 1 inch in height, and 1.62 inches in width, with an approximate weight of 9.6 pounds. This combination yields a lightweight but rigid channel section ideal for long spans and tight installation spaces. The compact profile also aids routing around obstacles, minimizing interference with electrical panels and other hardware on the shop floor.
Yes, the BFP42-240 uses polyester resin fiberglass channel, which offers inherent corrosion resistance and durability in damp or outdoor environments. While not listing formal certifications in the datasheet, its material choice makes it a strong candidate for industrial mounting and cable management in environments where metal channels may corrode. Confirm suitability with your facility’s environmental and safety standards.
The product datasheet lists Certifications as Not Applicable. For regulated applications, confirm requirements with your safety and purchasing teams and consult Eaton’s official datasheets and the Eaton Specification Sheet – BFP42-240 for any updates. In practice, verify that the fiberglass channel meets your plant’s electrical and safety standards prior to deployment.
Polyester resin fiberglass sections offer corrosion resistance, reduced weight, and easier handling compared with metal channels. These factors contribute to lower maintenance costs, minimized replacement frequency, and faster installation, which collectively reduce total cost of ownership. For facilities facing harsh environments or long-run installations, the BFP42-240 provides predictable performance with favorable lifecycle economics.
