Feature: Cast iron construction provides high stiffness and long-term dimensional stability. Business Impact: Enhances structural integrity for heavy rooftop loads, reducing deflection and misalignment in mechanical systems. Application: Ideal for mounting HVAC units, electrical enclosures, or support frameworks in outdoor facilities. Feature: Electro-plated finish improves corrosion resistance. Business Impact: Extends service life in outdoor or industrial environments, lowering corrosion-related maintenance costs. Application: Suitable for rooftop supports exposed to weather, humidity, and condensation. Feature: 1000 lbs load capacity. Business Impact: Supports heavy equipment with a safety margin, enabling precision layouts and fewer field adjustments. Application: Suitable for mid-to-large rooftop mechanical or electrical installations where load stability matters. Feature: Large footprint with 26.75 in length, 43.5 in width, and 10.56 in height. Business Impact: Provides wide base support and stable positioning for equipment with broad footprint requirements, reducing the need for custom shims. Application: Works well with pre-fabricated roof supports and B22SH compatibility for rapid deployment. Feature: B-Line series compatibility with B22SH. Business Impact: Streamlines procurement and compatibility verification, lowering lifecycle risk and installation time. Application: Integrates into Eaton-strut channel systems for modular rooftop support configurations. Feature: 39.25 lb weight offers a balanced install. Business Impact: Easy handling during site setup without sacrificing stability, reducing crane or lift requirements. Application: Ideal for on-site installations by trained technicians and maintenance crews. Industry context and objections: When customers ask about certifications, note that this model emphasizes material durability and finish rather than specific third-party approvals. In practice, cast iron plus electro-plating has a proven track record in rooftop environments, delivering consistent performance and predictable maintenance planning. This supports lean procurement, minimizes surprises in retrofit projects, and aligns with standard MRO workflows while ensuring compatibility with existing Eaton B-Line components.

FAQs
Yes. The DB2948DS is designed as a Dura-Blok support base that complements Eaton's B-Line family, including compatibility with B22SH components. This ensures a seamless fit within modular rooftop support systems, simplifying selection and installation for projects that use Eaton strut channels and brackets.
DB2948DS is rated for up to 1000 pounds. It is manufactured from cast iron and finished with an electro-plated coating to enhance corrosion resistance, delivering rigid support suitable for outdoor rooftop installations and other demanding environments.
This base excels in outdoor rooftop and mechanical/electrical installations where exposure to the elements and fluctuating loads is common. Its electro-plated finish and cast-iron construction provide durability against corrosion, while the broad footprint supports stable mounting for large equipment.
The product documentation notes certifications as Not Applicable. Nevertheless, its materials, finish, and load capacity meet typical industry expectations for heavy-duty rooftop supports and align with Eaton B-Line system practices.
Expected ROI comes from reduced maintenance due to corrosion resistance and stable load performance, alongside lower installation risk with established B-Line compatibility. The electro-plated finish extends service life, while the robust cast-iron base minimizes deflection and rework in retrofit or new-build rooftop projects.
