FAQs
BFV42H17/8-120 is engineered to fit Eaton’s B-Line fiberglass channel ecosystem, featuring the H178 hole pattern for standard mounting hardware. Its 120 in length supports long-span runs with fewer joints, simplifying system design and reducing field assembly time. This compatibility ensures consistent performance across Eaton’s channel products and reduces integration risk during installation.
Key considerations include verifying hole pattern alignment with supporting hardware, anticipating a 4.6 lb section weight for handling, and planning for a 120 in run with minimal joints. Use appropriate fasteners and end caps as needed, align sections to maintain a straight cable path, and follow Eaton catalog guidance to ensure secure mounting and expected system rigidity.
The product uses vinyl polyester resin, which offers inherent corrosion resistance within fiberglass channel environments. The item lists Certifications as Not Applicable, so for outdoor exposure or harsh chemical settings, verify local regulatory requirements and consider additional protective measures or coatings as needed. Always assess site-specific conditions before deployment.
Certifications for this part are listed as Not Applicable. While that means there is no explicit CE/SIL/IP certification stated for this catalog item, it remains compatible with Eaton’s internal standards and the broader B-Line fiberglass channel family. Users should confirm local or industry-specific compliance requirements in their own facilities and in procurement specifications.
Long-span sections like BFV42H17/8-120 reduce the number of joints, which lowers installation time and field labor costs. The vinyl polyester resin material provides corrosion resistance, potentially extending service life and reducing maintenance intervals. Combined with seamless compatibility within Eaton’s channel catalog, this part supports faster project delivery and lower lifecycle costs in large deployments.
