B-LINE BCH12-U-5-8 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What beam flange thickness does the B-Line BCH12-U-5-8 cable hook clamp onto?
The BCH12-U-5-8 beam clamp grips flanges from 5/16 inch up to 1/2 inch thick. Anything thinner than 5/16 or heavier than 1/2 inch is outside the clamp's range, so check the flange edge on your bar joist or I-beam before ordering a run of them.
2) Do I need to drill or weld to install this B-Line cable hanger?
No drilling, welding or anchors. The BCH12-U-5-8 is a beam-mount clamp that grips the flange directly, so the hook goes up with hand tools and leaves the structural steel untouched, which is usually what the building owner or inspector wants on an existing structure.
3) Is the B-Line BCH12-U-5-8 J-hook UL listed for low voltage cable support?
Yes, it's UL/CUL listed. It's part of Eaton B-Line's datacomm and low voltage support fastener line, so it is intended for supporting communications and low voltage cable rather than being used as a substitute for conduit or raceway support.
4) Will a pre-galvanized steel J-hook hold up in a parking garage or unheated warehouse?
The hook is steel with a pre-galvanized finish, which suits dry interior and sheltered spaces such as ceiling plenums, warehouses and back-of-house areas. For direct weather exposure, wash-down, or corrosive environments, specify a stainless or hot-dip galvanized hanger instead.
5) What is the exact part number to order for the 5/16 to 1/2 inch flange B-Line cable hook?
Order Eaton B-Line part BCH12-U-5-8. It's the U series version with one 3/4 inch J-hook and the 5/16 to 1/2 inch beam flange clamp. B-Line uses different suffixes for other flange ranges and hook sizes, so the full string matters when you're matching an existing run.
