B-Line Eaton series strut channel, .81" channel height, 120" channel length, 1.62" channel width, Steel, 12 Gauge, B52 channel type, Pre-galvanized

Pre-galvanized is a mill finish applied to the steel before forming, so the cut ends and punched areas are bare. It is intended for dry indoor and protected service, not open-air, wet, or corrosive exposure. For rooftops, exterior runs, or wash-down areas, specify a hot-dip galvanized or stainless version of the same channel profile instead.

Yes. The B52 ships as bare channel only, 120 inches per stick. Spring nuts, conduit clamps, end caps, post bases, corner fittings and the hardware to fasten it to structure are all separate line items. Because the face is the standard 1.62 inch width, the usual 1-5/8 inch strut nut and fitting range fits it.

Shallow channel earns its place where projection off the wall or ceiling is tight: surface-mounting boxes, light fixture supports, single runs of small conduit, and equipment brackets where a full 1-5/8 inch deep channel would stick out too far or foul other trades. At .81 inches the B52 is about half that depth on the same 1.62 inch face. Where you are spanning between structural points or carrying real weight, go to a full-depth or back-to-back profile.

Order it as B52-120 GLV from Eaton B-Line. The B52 designates the shallow 12 gauge steel profile, 120 is the 120 inch length, and GLV is the pre-galvanized finish. Quote that full string when you are matching existing channel in a building so you get the same depth and finish rather than a full-height substitute.

Yes, plain steel channel cuts with a bandsaw, chop saw with a metal blade, or portaband. Since the finish is pre-galvanized, every cut you make leaves raw steel at the end, so in any damp location hit the cut with cold galvanizing compound or fit an end cap before you hang it.
