B-LINE B3050-2X5PLN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size threaded rod does this Eaton B-Line beam clamp take?
It is tapped for 1/2 inch-13 threaded rod. That is the standard coarse thread on 1/2 inch all-thread, so common trapeze and pipe hanger rod threads straight in with no adapter.
2) Is the B-Line B3050 beam clamp UL listed for electrical support?
It is cULus Listed, so it carries both US and Canadian recognition, which is what an inspector on a commercial electrical job typically wants to see on conduit and cable tray supports.
3) Is this beam clamp galvanized or plain steel, and can I use it outdoors?
The B3050-2X5PLN is plain steel with no protective coating, which makes it a dry indoor part. For exterior, damp, or corrosive locations you want an electro-galvanized or hot dip galvanized version of the same clamp instead, because bare steel will rust at the beam contact and at the rod threads.
4) Do I need to drill or weld the beam to hang conduit from it?
No. This is a clamp-on support, which is the point of it: it grips the I-beam flange and gives you a 1/2"-13 threaded connection for hanger rod, so there is no field drilling or welding of structural steel. That also means the support can be relocated later without leaving holes in the beam.
5) What else do I need to order with a B-Line beam clamp to finish the hanger?
The clamp is the beam-end connection only. You still need the 1/2 inch-13 threaded rod cut to length, a nut and washer at the clamp, and whatever terminates the bottom of the rod, a conduit hanger, a trapeze channel with rod nuts, or a pipe clamp. Order one beam clamp per rod.
6) How much room does the B3050 beam clamp take up on the beam?
Compact. The body measures 2.125 in height, 1.375 in length/depth, and .625 in width, so it sits tight to the flange edge and clears adjacent hangers on close rod spacing. Each clamp weighs 1.22 lb, which matters when you are adding up dead load on a long trapeze run.
7) Can I use this beam clamp to hang plumbing pipe, or is it electrical only?
It is catalogued for electrical work but the clamp itself is load-rated hardware, 1000 lb on 1/2 inch-13 rod, so mechanical and plumbing trades use the same style of beam clamp for pipe hangers and trapeze supports. The limits are the 1/2 inch flange width it fits and the 1000 lb rating, not the trade.
