B-LINE BKYH18-094-40K – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What comes in the B-Line KwikWire BKYH18-094-40K kit?
The kit is a Y hook hanging assembly: 40 inch wire rope with a Y termination on 18 inch legs, plus the BKC100 clip and the gripper assembly. Wire rope diameter is .09375 inch (3/32). Total kit weight is 2.992 lb. You supply the structural attachment point the hook catches.
2) How far below the structure will a 40 inch KwikWire Y hook kit hang my fixture?
The 40 inch figure is the wire length, and the 18 inch legs come off that drop, so plan your layout around a 40 inch wire with 18 inch spread legs rather than a flat 40 inch finished height. KwikWire grippers let you shorten the drop on site, so order to the longest drop in the run and adjust down.
3) Is the B-Line KwikWire Y hook wire rope kit listed for electrical work?
It is cULus Listed, which is what an inspector on a commercial electrical or lighting job will look for on a suspension kit. That covers both US and Canadian listing.
4) What exactly do I order to get the 18 inch leg, 40 inch drop version of this B-Line hanger?
Order part number BKYH18-094-40K. The number reads out the configuration: YH for the Y hook, 18 for the leg length, 094 for the .09375 inch rope, and 40 for the wire length. Change any of those digits and you get a different leg or drop, so specify the full number on the PO.
5) What does the Y leg configuration on a KwikWire hanger actually do?
The Y splits the single 40 inch drop into two 18 inch legs, so one attachment point overhead carries a load at two spread points. That is what you want for hanging a linear fixture or a tray section level without it rolling, instead of running two separate single-leg drops and fighting to match their lengths.
6) Can I use the Y hook KwikWire kit where I need to attach to bar joist or existing rod without drilling?
Yes, the hook termination is the point of it. The Y hook catches an existing structural member or fitting, so there is no anchor to set and no hole to drill. If your overhead attachment is a flat deck or a threaded rod insert instead, you want a KwikWire kit with a loop, toggle, or threaded end rather than the hook version.
7) Will 3/32 inch wire rope be heavy enough for my suspended lighting run?
The rope on this kit is .09375 inch, which is 3/32, the common KwikWire size for suspended lighting, cable tray, signage, and small duct. Match your fixture weight to the kit's rated load before you commit; for heavier runs step up to a larger diameter KwikWire kit rather than doubling up 3/32 drops.
8) Is the BKC100 clip included or do I buy it separately?
The BKC100 clip ships with the kit, along with the gripper assembly. You are not buying the clip as a line item on top.
