B-Line Eaton series strut fittings and accessories, 3.5" Height, 6" Length, 1.62" Width, 1.44lbs, Steel, Bracket, channel opening downward, Uniform lo

The B293A-6ZN bracket is rated for a uniform load capacity of 1200 lb. That is a uniform load figure, so concentrated point loads at the end of the 6 inch arm should be derated by your own engineering judgment. The bracket itself weighs 1.44 lb, so it adds almost nothing to the hanging load.

There is one mounting hole, 9/16 inch in diameter. That clears a 1/2 inch bolt or threaded rod with room to spare, which is the standard hole size on strut fittings for 1/2 inch hardware. The bolt, nut and any strut nut are not part of the bracket and are ordered separately.

Channel opening faces downward on the B293A-6ZN. That matters on layout: you set the bracket so the open side of the channel points down, and any strut nut or hardware drops into the channel from underneath. If your detail needs the opening up or to the side, this is the wrong orientation and you want the matching bracket in the series with the opposite channel direction.

It measures 6 inches in length, 3.5 inches in height and 1.62 inches in width. The 1.62 inch width is the giveaway that this is a 1-5/8 inch strut profile fitting, which is the standard channel width used on most commercial strut runs.

It is a strut fitting bracket used to hang or cantilever a short run of channel off a wall, column or overhead structure, with the channel opening pointing down. Typical use is supporting conduit racks, cable tray drops, small pipe, or boxes and equipment that mount to strut. With 6 inches of length and one 9/16 inch fastener hole, it is a single-bolt bracket for short standoffs, not a multi-bolt structural cantilever arm.

Plan on hardware. The bracket ships as the steel fitting only, with its single 9/16 inch hole, so you supply the bolt or rod, nut and washer, plus channel nuts and the strut itself. Match your anchor to the substrate you are fastening into.

B293A-6ZN is the manufacturer part number, from the Eaton B-Line series of strut fittings and accessories. The ZN suffix identifies the electro-plated zinc finish, and the 6 is the 6 inch length. It is sold as that one configuration, so if you need a different length or a galvanized finish you are looking at a different part number in the same family.
