B-LINE B280SQSS4 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the B-Line B280SQSS4 post base fit B22 strut channel?
Yes. The B280SQSS4 square post base is made for B22 channel, which is B-Line's 1-5/8 inch wide, 1-5/8 inch deep double-height channel. The channel seats in the centered square socket on the base. If your vertical run is single-height 1-5/8 x 13/16 channel, this is not the base for it.
2) What is the footprint of the B-Line B280SQSS4 square post base for laying out anchor bolts?
The base measures 6 inches by 6 inches with a 3.5 inch height, so plan on a 6 x 6 inch bearing area at each post location. Weight is 3.92 lb. The channel socket is centered on that square, which means the post lands on the middle of your anchor pattern rather than offset to one edge.
3) Is a type 304 stainless post base OK for a wet or washdown area?
Type 304 stainless is the standard choice for food processing, pharmaceutical, and general washdown or high humidity work, and it holds up outdoors. Where it gets tested is chloride exposure, direct coastal salt spray or pool chemistry, where 316 is the usual step up. The B280SQSS4 carries a stainless steel type 304 finish over steel construction.
4) Does the B280SQSS4 post base come with anchors or bolts to fasten it down?
No fasteners ship with it. The base is the fitting only, so you supply the anchors sized to your substrate, wedge or sleeve anchors into concrete, through-bolts on steel, and you supply the hardware that ties the B22 channel into the socket. In stainless work, match the anchor material to the base or you give up the corrosion resistance you paid for at the one point that matters.
5) What is the difference between a centered square post base and an offset or flat plate strut base?
A centered base puts the channel in the middle of the plate, so load runs straight down the post into the anchor pattern and the post can take side load from any direction evenly. That is what you want for a freestanding vertical, equipment stands, or a seismic-braced leg. An offset base sets the channel to one side, which is how you get a post tight against a wall or curb. A flat plate with a channel welded on gives you less socket depth than the 3.5 inch height here. The B280SQSS4 is the centered version.
6) What is the Eaton B-Line part number for the 6 inch square stainless post base?
B280SQSS4 is the Eaton B-Line catalog number. The SS4 suffix is the type 304 stainless finish, and the B280SQ is the 6 x 6 inch centered square post base for B22 channel. If you are ordering plain or electrogalvanized instead, the SS4 is the part of the number that changes.
7) Does the B-Line B280SQSS4 post base carry a UL listing or seismic certification?
The B280SQSS4 is a mechanical strut fitting supplied without a certification listing attached to it. On seismic or structural work the load path gets approved as an assembly by the engineer of record, based on the anchor, the channel, and the bracing, not on a listing for the base by itself. Bring the 6 x 6 inch footprint and the 304 stainless material to that review.
8) Can I use this square post base to stand up conduit racks or a rooftop equipment support?
That is the job it does. A B22 post dropped into the centered socket gives you a freestanding vertical for conduit racking, trapeze uprights, HVAC and pump stands, sign and light poles, or equipment rack legs. The 304 stainless finish is what makes it a candidate for rooftop and other outdoor exposure rather than an indoor-only fitting. Anchoring the 6 x 6 inch plate to the deck or a curb is what sets the capacity, so that detail belongs to your structural design.
