B-Line Eaton series strut fittings and accessories, 1.62" Height, 6" Length, 6" Width, 3.14lbs, Steel, Square post base, centered, DURA GREEN

B279SQGRN is a square post base with a centered mounting pattern, part of the Eaton B-Line strut fittings and accessories range. It bolts to a floor, pad or structural surface and carries a strut post upright at the center of the plate, so the load comes straight down the middle of the base rather than off to one side. It is steel with a DURA GREEN finish.

The plate is 6 inches by 6 inches square with an overall height of 1.62 inches. Lay that 6 x 6 footprint against your slab or curb before you drill: you need a full 6 inch square of bearing surface plus enough edge distance for your anchors. The 1.62 inch height is what the base adds under the bottom of the strut post, so it affects your finished upright height.

No. The B279SQGRN is supplied as the steel base plate only, weighing 3.14 lb. Concrete anchors, through bolts, or the hardware that fastens the strut post into the base are ordered separately and should be sized to your substrate and the load.

DURA GREEN is Eaton B-Line's coated finish applied over the steel base, used where a plain plated fitting would corrode too quickly, such as wash-down areas, mechanical yards and other wet or humid environments. It is a coating, not stainless, so for continuous salt spray or aggressive chemical exposure a stainless or hot dip galvanized base is the better choice.

Pick the centered version, which is what B279SQGRN is, when the strut upright sits in the middle of the plate and you have clear space all around for anchors. Go with an offset or side-mount base instead when the post has to sit tight against a wall, curb or equipment edge and you cannot get anchors on all four sides of a 6 x 6 plate. Centered bases put the load in line with the post, which is what you want for a free-standing upright.

Order Eaton B-Line B279SQGRN. That number covers the steel square post base, centered pattern, in the DURA GREEN finish. If you are standardizing a facility, quoting off that single part number keeps every post base on the job the same footprint and finish.

That is the normal use. A centered square base anchors a vertical strut post so it can carry trapeze runs, pipe stands, conduit racks or equipment frames. The steel plate is 6 x 6 inches at 1.62 inches tall and weighs 3.14 lb, so it is a light enough piece to set by hand while still giving a full square bearing footprint under the post.
