B-Line Eaton series strut fittings and accessories, 1.62" Height, 8" Length, 3" Width, 2.30lbs, Steel, Rectangular post base, flush to side, Electro-p

The B279FLZN is a rectangular post base that anchors a strut channel post to a floor or slab, with the base plate sitting flush to one side of the post rather than centered under it. That flush-to-side geometry lets the post stand tight against a wall or adjacent equipment while the plate extends out in one direction for the anchors.

It is steel with an electro-plated finish, which is a dry indoor-duty coating. For exterior slabs, wash-down areas, or anything exposed to weather or chemicals, specify a hot-dip galvanized or stainless post base instead.

It measures 8 x 3 x 1.62 inches and weighs 2.3 pounds. The 3 inch dimension matters most on a tight layout: the plate is narrow enough to sit against a wall line while the 8 inch run gives you room for the anchor holes away from the post.

The B279FLZN ships as the post base fitting only. Concrete anchors, the strut channel itself, and the channel nuts or bolts that fasten the post to the base are all ordered separately and sized to your slab and channel series.

Use the flush-to-side type, like the B279FLZN, when the post has to stand hard against a wall, curb, or piece of equipment and you still need anchor holes reachable from one side. A centered base puts the post in the middle of the plate and spreads the anchors on both sides, which is the better choice for a free-standing post in open floor where you want balanced load on the anchors.

Order Eaton B-Line B279FLZN. That is the single catalog number for the electro-plated steel rectangular post base, flush to side, so there is no finish or size suffix to add.
