B-LINE B342ZN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the B-Line B342ZN splice plate used for on a strut run?
The B342ZN is a five hole splice plate for joining two lengths of B-Line strut channel end to end. You bolt it across the joint using channel nuts or bolts through the five holes, so the run carries through instead of stopping at the end of a stick. It is a flat steel plate, 9.13 inches long by 1.62 inches wide by 1.62 inches in stated height, weighing .96 lb.
2) Will the B342ZN splice plate fit standard 1-5/8 inch strut channel?
Yes. At 1.62 inches wide it matches the 1-5/8 inch nominal face of standard strut channel, which is what this fitting is built for. It sits flat on the channel face and does not overhang the sides.
3) Is the zinc plated B342ZN suitable for outdoor or wet locations?
Electro-plated zinc on steel is an indoor, dry-location finish. It handles normal interior mechanical rooms, ceilings and equipment rooms fine, but for exterior runs, parking structures, roof-top support or washdown areas you want hot dip galvanized or stainless strut fittings instead.
4) Does the B-Line B342ZN come with bolts and channel nuts?
The B342ZN is supplied as the steel plate only. Order channel nuts and hex head bolts sized for your strut separately, five sets if you are filling every hole. A shorter plate or fewer fasteners can be used where the joint is not carrying much load, but the plate itself ships bare.
5) What is the exact part number to order this B-Line splice plate?
Order it as Eaton B-Line B342ZN. That is the manufacturer part number for the five hole, electro-plated zinc steel splice plate.
6) How much does the B342ZN splice plate weigh for load calculations on a hanger run?
Each plate weighs .96 lb. On a long trapeze or suspended run with several splices, count that into your dead load along with the strut and hardware.
