B-LINE BH12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size threaded rod does the B-Line BH12 wedge hanger take?
The BH12 wedge hanger carries a 0.25"-20 thread impression, so it mates with 1/4-20 threaded rod. It is not a 3/8-16 hanger, which is the other common rod size on commercial jobs, so if your trapeze or fixture drops are 3/8 inch you need a different hanger.
2) Will a B-Line BH12 wedge hanger work on a bar joist with a round bottom chord?
That is exactly what it is built for. The BH12 is intended for centering on open web joists with a round bottom chord, so it wedges onto the round bar of a standard bar joist. For a joist with an angle bottom chord, or for flange-mount on a beam, use a different hanger style.
3) Is the B-Line BH12 joist hanger UL listed for electrical work?
Yes, the BH12 is UL/CUL listed, which is what an inspector or institutional spec usually asks for on fixture and drop wire support hardware in the US and Canada.
4) Do I need any extra hardware to hang a light fixture with the BH12 wedge hanger?
The BH12 is the hanger only. It wedges onto the joist chord and gives you a 1/4-20 thread impression, so you supply the 1/4-20 rod or drop wire and whatever fixture-side attachment your luminaire uses. Nothing else is included with the hanger itself.
5) How big is the B-Line BH12 wedge hanger, and will it fit in a tight ceiling cavity?
It is a very small piece: 1 inch height by 1 inch length by 1 inch width, weighing .012 lb. At roughly a one inch cube it sits tight to the joist chord, which matters when you are working above a hard lid or in a shallow plenum.
6) What part number do I order for the B-Line wedge hanger for round joist chords?
Order Eaton B-Line model BH12. That is the single model for this wedge hanger, rated 100 lbs with a 1/4-20 thread impression.
