B-LINE B528ZN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the B-Line B528ZN two hole splice plate used for?
The B528ZN is a two hole splice plate for joining strut channel end to end. It bolts across the joint between two channel runs so the run continues straight without a separate support. Steel construction with an electro-plated zinc finish, and it weighs half a pound.
2) Is the electro-plated zinc finish on the B528ZN okay for outdoor use?
Electro-plated zinc is an indoor, dry-location finish. It handles normal interior mechanical rooms, ceilings and equipment racks fine, but for exposed exterior, wash-down or corrosive areas you want a hot-dip galvanized or stainless version of the same fitting instead.
3) Do bolts and channel nuts come with the B-Line B528ZN splice plate?
No. The B528ZN ships as the plate only, so you need to order hardware separately: two channel nuts and bolts per channel, four total to make the splice. Match the bolt diameter to the hole size in the plate and the nut to your strut series.
4) Should I use a two hole splice plate or a four hole plate to join strut?
A two hole plate like the B528ZN is for light joints where the splice is close to a support and the run is not carrying much load in bending across the joint. For a splice in mid-span, or where the joint has to transfer real load, step up to a four hole or six hole splice plate, or a splice channel that nests inside the strut.
5) What is the exact part number to order the B-Line two hole splice plate?
Order it as Eaton B-Line B528ZN. The ZN suffix is the electro-plated zinc finish, so the same base plate in another finish carries a different suffix.
6) Will the B528ZN plate work on 1-5/8 inch strut from another manufacturer?
The plate is 1.62 inches wide, which matches the face of standard 1-5/8 inch strut channel, so it lays on the channel face of common 1-5/8 inch sections regardless of who rolled them. What decides the job is the bolt and channel nut: the nut has to suit the slot profile of the channel you are working with.
