B-LINE B556HDG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the B-Line B556HDG gusset plate be used outdoors or in a wet environment?
Yes. The B556HDG is steel with a hot-dipped galvanized finish, which is the finish specified for outdoor, rooftop, and damp or corrosive locations. Uncoated or plain-finish gussets are the indoor-only choice; the HDG suffix on this part is what makes it suitable for exterior strut runs and unconditioned spaces.
2) How many bolt holes does the B-Line B556HDG have, and does it come with hardware?
Five holes, which is where the name comes from: it is a five hole corner gusset plate. The plate itself is the only item covered by the B556HDG part number, so order your channel nuts, bolts, and washers separately and size them to the strut you are bracing.
3) What is a corner gusset plate used for in a strut support system?
It stiffens a 90 degree joint between two strut members so the corner does not rack under load. On a trapeze hanger, a wall bracket, or a fabricated frame for conduit, cable tray, or mechanical equipment, the gusset carries the moment at the corner that bolts alone would not. The B556HDG is the five hole version, bolting through both legs of the joint with an extra fixing at the corner.
4) Is the B-Line B556HDG a galvanized steel part I can match to existing HDG strut on site?
Yes, it is steel finished hot-dipped galvanized, so it matches HDG strut and HDG fittings already installed. Mixing a plain or electro-galvanized gusset into an HDG run is what causes early rust at the joint, so for exterior work keep the whole assembly, including nuts and bolts, in the same galvanized class.
5) Does the B-Line B556HDG carry a UL listing or other certification?
Certifications are shown as not applicable for the B556HDG. It is a mechanical bracing plate rather than an electrical device, so specify it on the strength and finish requirements of the support assembly, not on a product listing.
6) How do I order the exact B-Line gusset plate, and is there more than one version?
There is a single model under this part number: B-Line B556HDG, the hot-dipped galvanized five hole corner gusset plate. No size, finish, or hole-count options to choose, so the model number alone specifies it on a purchase order or submittal.
