B-LINE BMS-6MYZN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size does the B-Line BMS-6MYZN channel nut take?
The BMS-6MYZN spring nut is tapped M6 x 1, so it accepts M6 metric bolts, screws, or all-thread rod at a 1 mm pitch. It will not accept imperial 1/4-20 or 3/8-16 hardware, so if your job is running inch-series rod you need the equivalent imperial channel nut instead.
2) Can I use this channel nut to hang M6 threaded rod for conduit or pipe supports?
Yes. The BMS-6MYZN is listed for strut channel and all-threaded rod use, so M6 rod threads straight into it for trapeze hangers, conduit racks, and similar electrical supports. You supply the rod and any washers or hex nuts separately; the spring nut itself is the channel-side connection only.
3) How does a medium spring channel nut install into strut?
A medium spring nut is dropped into the open face of the strut channel and given a quarter turn; the spring holds it in position against the inside of the channel lips while you line up and start the bolt, so you are not fishing for a loose nut overhead. The spring length is what sets it apart from short-spring and long-spring versions, which are matched to different channel depths.
4) Is a yellow zinc chromate channel nut okay for outdoor or damp locations?
Yellow zinc chromate over steel is a coating built for dry indoor service and light moisture exposure, not sustained weather or washdown. For rooftop, exterior, or wet mechanical rooms, specify an electro-galvanized or hot-dip galvanized channel nut rather than this zinc chromate finish.
5) Does this Eaton B-Line spring nut come with a bolt included?
No. The BMS-6MYZN is the channel nut on its own, a steel spring nut with an M6 x 1 tapped hole. Order your M6 bolts, hex head screws, or rod to length separately, and match the bolt length to the thickness of whatever bracket or clamp you are fastening plus the nut body.
6) What are the dimensions of the B-Line BMS-6MYZN spring nut?
It measures 1.875 in by 1.375 in by .85 in high and weighs .099 lb each. The .85 in height is the figure to watch, since that is the stack the spring and body take up inside the channel before the bolt goes through.
7) What is the exact part number to order this B-Line metric channel nut?
Order Eaton B-Line part number BMS-6MYZN. The suffix breaks down as M6 thread, Y for yellow, ZN for zinc chromate, which is how you tell it from the same body in other finishes or thread sizes on a submittal.
