B-LINE B42SH-120SS6 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the B-Line B42SH-120SS6 strut channel suitable for outdoor or corrosive environments like coastal or wastewater sites?
Yes. The B42SH-120SS6 is type 316 stainless steel, the grade specified where chlorides are present, so it holds up in coastal, wash-down, water treatment and chemical exposure areas where plain or pre-galvanized strut would corrode. If your job only sees dry indoor conditions, a plain or electro-galvanized strut of the same profile will do the same mechanical work.
2) What size is the B-Line B42 strut channel profile, and will standard strut nuts and fittings fit it?
The B42 profile measures 1-5/8 inches across the channel opening (1.62 in width) with a 1 inch channel height, cut to a 12 inch length. That 1-5/8 inch opening is the standard strut width, so conventional 1-5/8 inch strut nuts, clamps and fittings seat in it. For corrosive duty, match the hardware to the channel and use 316 stainless nuts and bolts, not zinc, so you don't set up galvanic problems at the connection.
3) What does the SH hole pattern mean on this Eaton B-Line strut?
SH is the slotted-hole back pattern: the channel back is punched along its length rather than left solid, so you can bolt the strut to a wall, deck or beam anywhere along the 12 inch piece without drilling on site. If you want an unpunched back for a cleaner face or full section strength, that is a different pattern designation, not this one.
4) I need short strut pieces for conduit hangers. Do I have to cut down a 10 foot stick?
Not with this one. The B42SH-120SS6 ships as a 12 inch cut length, so it goes straight up as a brace, a pipe strap backing, or the cross member of a small trapeze with no saw work and no raw cut edge to passivate. On a 316 stainless job that matters, because a field cut exposes bare steel that then needs cleaning up.
