B-LINE BFV22SH-240 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Why choose fiberglass strut over galvanized steel channel?
The BFV22SH-240 is molded from vinyl polyester resin rather than metal, so it is non-conductive and does not rust. That is why it gets specified for wet, washdown, coastal, water treatment and chemical areas, and anywhere you want a support that is not part of an electrical path. Steel strut still wins where you need higher load capacity or where welding and field cutting with a metal saw is part of the routine.
2) Does the B-Line BFV22SH-240 fiberglass channel come with fittings, nuts or hardware?
No. The order is the bare 240 inch channel, model BFV22SH-240. Braces, post bases, end caps, channel nuts and threaded rod all get ordered separately, and on a fiberglass run you normally want fiberglass or stainless hardware to keep the corrosion resistance you bought the channel for.
3) What does the SH hole pattern mean on B-Line fiberglass channel?
SH is B-Line's slotted hole pattern designation, so the channel arrives pre-punched along its back rather than solid. Ordering SH matters because the hole pattern determines where you can through-bolt to a wall or ceiling without drilling fiberglass in the field. If you need an unpunched back, that is a different pattern code on the same profile.
4) How heavy is a 20 foot stick of B-Line fiberglass strut, and can one person carry it?
A full 240 inch length weighs 12.2 lb. That is light enough for one installer to shoulder, which is a large part of why fiberglass gets used on overhead runs and long cable tray supports where a comparable steel stick is far heavier. Plan for the length, not the weight, when you figure out how to get it into the building.
5) Can I cut fiberglass strut channel to length on site?
Yes, the 240 inch stick is meant to be cut to suit the run. Cut fiberglass with an abrasive or carbide blade, not a metal-cutting toothed blade, wear respiratory and eye protection for the dust, and seal the cut ends so the resin matrix stays protected in a wet or corrosive location.
6) Is this fiberglass strut UL listed or carry a corrosion rating I can put on a submittal?
For the BFV22SH-240 the specs you can submit are the material (vinyl polyester resin), the 1.62 x 1.62 inch profile, the 240 inch length, the SH slotted hole pattern and the 12.2 lb stick weight, under the manufacturer part number BFV22SH-240. Build your submittal on those figures and the B-Line part number.
