FAQs
FIG 98B-EG rod stiffeners are designed to clip onto standard B-Line channel assemblies and accept 3/8-16 through 7/8-9 hanger rods. Begin by aligning the stiffener with the channel, insert the hanger rod through the rod hole, and secure per the existing bracing method. The electro-plated finish provides consistent mating surfaces to minimize installation effort and ensure robust vertical seismic support.
The FIG 98B-EG carries OSHPD Certification, which supports code-compliant seismic bracing for fire-protection and electrical installations. No CE or additional international certifications are listed in the provided data, so verify project requirements if those approvals are necessary.
Yes. The FIG 98B-EG is specifically designed for Eaton B-Line channel systems and standard hanger rods within the stated size range, ensuring straightforward integration into new builds or retrofits without custom fabrication.
The stiffener is made of steel with an electro-plated finish, delivering corrosion resistance suitable for damp or industrial environments. The product is dimensioned at 1 in length and width, with a height of 1.315 in and a weight of 0.127 lb, balancing strength with a light footprint.
Using the FIG 98B-EG rod stiffener reduces movement of channels under seismic loads, supports regulatory compliance (OSHPD), lowers rework and maintenance needs, and shortens install times by leveraging standard hardware, contributing to a faster project timeline and lower total cost of ownership.
