B-LINE B3055-1X8PLN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What rod size does the B-Line B3055-1X8PLN beam clamp take?
It is threaded for 1 inch-8 rod. That is the clamp's rod/thread size, so 1"-8 all-thread is what drops from it. If your hanger run uses 1/2"-13 or 5/8"-11 rod, this is not the clamp for that opening.
2) How much load will this B-Line steel beam clamp carry?
Rated at 4300 lb. That is a heavy-duty figure for a single rod hanger point, which is consistent with the 1"-8 rod it accepts. Confirm your engineer's design load and the beam flange it is biting on before you hang to the full rating.
3) Is the B3055 beam clamp listed for use in electrical hanger systems?
It is cULus Listed, so it carries both US and Canadian listing coverage. That matters to an inspector on a commercial or institutional job where hanger components on conduit and cable tray support have to be listed.
4) Do I still need a separate threaded coupling or nut to adjust rod height with this clamp?
No. Vertical adjustment is built into the clamp body, so you set the drop at the clamp rather than adding a coupling or turnbuckle to the rod. It shortens the parts list on a long hanger run.
5) How much room do I need above the ceiling for the B-Line B3055-1X8PLN?
The clamp measures 5.5 x 5.5 x 8 inches and weighs 9.05 lb. In a tight plenum or against a deck, work that 8 inch dimension into your clearance check, and plan on a two-hand lift at height since it is not a light part.
6) Is the plain finish on this beam clamp okay for outdoor or wet locations?
Plain steel, uncoated. Keep it to dry interior work. For exterior, parking structures, wash-down areas, or anywhere condensation collects, specify a galvanized or plated version of the beam clamp instead, because bare steel will rust at the beam contact point.
7) What is the exact part number to order this B-Line beam clamp?
Eaton B-Line part number B3055-1X8PLN. The B3055 is the clamp series, 1X8 is the 1"-8 rod size, and PLN is the plain steel finish. Same number for a distributor cross-reference.
8) Can I use the B3055 clamp to hang conduit or cable tray without welding to the structure?
That is the point of it. The steel beam clamp bites the beam flange mechanically and gives you a 1"-8 rod drop, so you get a support point with no welding and no drilling into structural steel, which is usually what the structural engineer prefers.
