B-Line Eaton series strut fittings and accessories, 3.5" Height, 6" Length, 6" Width, 3.92lbs, Steel, Square post base, centered, Fits channel B22, DU

The plate measures 6 x 6 inches with a 3.5 inch height, and the channel socket is centered on the plate. That centered geometry is what lets you set the anchors off the column centerline rather than offsetting them, which matters when you are drilling a concrete slab to a layout drawing.

DURA GREEN is Eaton B-Line's green coating applied over the steel fitting. It is a corrosion-resistant coated finish rather than bare or plain steel, and it is the finish to match when the rest of the strut run on the job is already DURA GREEN. For fully exposed marine or chemical service, buyers generally step up to hot dip galvanized or stainless instead of a coated finish.

Centered is what you want when the strut post lands on the middle of its own pad or slab and you can drill anchors on all four sides of the channel. Use an offset or edge-type base instead when the post has to sit tight against a wall or the edge of a curb, because with a centered socket the anchor holes on one side would fall off the concrete. The B280SQGRN is the centered version on a 6 x 6 inch plate.

It is sold as the steel base fitting alone, model B280SQGRN. Concrete anchors, wedge anchors or through bolts for fastening the plate down, and the channel nuts or bolts used to tie the strut into the socket, are ordered separately and sized to your slab and channel.

Each base weighs 3.92 lb, so a pallet of posts is easy to hand-carry and stage. Order by manufacturer part number B280SQGRN, which is the DURA GREEN steel square centered post base for B22 channel.
