B-Line Eaton series strut fiberglass channel and fittings, 12" Height, 10" Length, 1.62" Width, .1400lbs, Fiberglass, Bracket, Polyester resin

The BFP409-06 is a fiberglass bracket with a polyester resin finish. That is the reason to reach for it instead of a steel fitting: fiberglass strut fittings are used where steel corrodes, such as wash-down areas, water and wastewater plants, coastal installs, and chemical exposure. It is a non-metallic fitting, so it is also the choice when you want to avoid galvanic issues against fiberglass channel.

Dimensions are 12 in height, 10 in length/depth, and 1.62 in width. The 1.62 in width is the giveaway on fit: that matches standard 1-5/8 in strut profile width, so the bracket sits on the face of 1-5/8 in fiberglass channel rather than overhanging it. Weight is .14 lb.

Go fiberglass, like the BFP409-06, when corrosion or non-conductivity drives the job: wet process areas, treatment plants, salt air, chemical rooms. Steel fittings carry more load and cost less, so they remain the default for dry indoor mechanical and electrical support. Mixing is generally avoided, since a steel fitting on fiberglass channel puts a hard, corrodible part back into the run you specified fiberglass to eliminate.

Plan on ordering channel nuts, bolts and washers separately. The BFP409-06 is catalogued as a bracket only, at .14 lb, and strut fittings are normally sold without fasteners. For a fiberglass run, specify non-metallic or stainless hardware to match, or the fastener becomes the corrosion point.

Order it as B-Line BFP409-06, part of the Eaton B-Line series strut fiberglass channel and fittings line. There is a single model, so no finish or size choice has to be specified on the order.
