B-Line Eaton series strut fittings and accessories, 1.62" Height, 7.25" Length, 1.62" Width, .76lbs, Steel, Four hole splice plate | Pre assembled, El

The B341PAZN is a four hole splice plate for joining two runs of strut end to end. It is a pre-assembled steel fitting, 7.25 inches long and 1.62 inches in both height and width, so it spans the joint and picks up two bolt holes on each side of the splice.

Its 1.62 inch width matches the 1-5/8 inch face of standard strut channel, which is what a 1-5/8 inch series fitting is built to sit against. The 1.62 inch height figure means it is a formed fitting, not a flat strap, so it wraps the channel profile rather than just laying across the top.

Electro-plated zinc is a light coating meant for dry indoor use, mechanical rooms, ceilings, and interior electrical runs. For exterior, damp, or corrosive environments you want a hot dip galvanized or stainless strut fitting instead, since electro-plate will rust once it takes standing water or weather.

Yes. The B341PAZN ships as a pre-assembled steel plate only; the channel nuts and hex bolts that clamp it to the strut are a separate line item. Plan on hardware for all four holes, two into each length of channel, and match the bolt diameter to the channel nut series you are already using.

Use the splice plate when you have to extend an existing run in place or when a continuous length will not fit through the space. A single continuous piece of channel is always stronger across the joint. Where the splice carries load, a four hole plate like the B341PAZN spreads the connection over a longer span, 7.25 inches, than a two hole fitting does, which is why it is the usual choice for in-line extensions rather than short connectors.

Order it as Eaton B-Line B341PAZN. The PAZN suffix denotes the pre-assembled, electro-plated zinc version of the B341 four hole splice plate.
