B-LINE BX4-U-5-8 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What beam flange thickness does the B-Line BX4-U-5-8 clip fit?
The BX4-U-5-8 beam clamp grips flange edges from 0.31 to 0.5 inch thick. Below 0.31 inch it will be loose on the steel; above 1/2 inch it won't seat. For heavier structural flanges you need a larger-jaw clip in the same family.
2) What cable sizes will the B-Line BX4-U-5-8 fastener hold?
It takes one run of MC or AC cable in sizes 14/2 through 10/3, or 0.38 inch flexible metal conduit. Larger MC, teck cable, or EMT needs a different clip.
3) Can I run two MC cables in one BX4-U-5-8 clip?
No. It is a single-run fastener, rated for 1 cable maximum. For two or more cables on the same beam, use a multi-run clip or install additional BX4-U-5-8 clips along the flange.
4) Do I need to drill or weld the beam to install this cable clip?
No drilling, no welding, no anchors. The BX4-U-5-8 is a flange-type clip that hammers or snaps onto the edge of the beam flange, then holds the cable. That is the reason it's used on retrofit work in existing structural steel where you cannot penetrate the member.
5) Is the B-Line BX4-U-5-8 UL Listed for electrical work?
Yes, the BX4-U-5-8 cable-to-beam fastener is UL Listed, which is what an inspector or an institutional MRO spec will normally ask for on cable support hardware.
6) Will this B-Line clip work for hanging threaded rod instead of cable?
No. The BX4-U-5-8 is a cable-to-beam fastener, made to carry one run of MC/AC cable or 0.38 inch FMC off a beam flange. If you need to suspend threaded rod for trapeze or strut, order a rod-type beam clamp instead.
7) How much space does the BX4-U-5-8 clip take up on the beam?
It's a compact clip, 1 inch high by 1 inch long by 1 inch wide, at .085 lb each. That footprint matters when you are spacing clips along a flange or working in a tight ceiling cavity above a hung ceiling.
