B-Line Eaton series strut fittings and accessories, 5.37" Height, 2.06" Length, 1.62" Width, .77lbs, Steel, Four hole offset bent tee, Electro-plated

The B357ZN is a four hole offset bent tee fitting for strut channel systems. The offset bend lets you branch or tee one run of strut off another where the two runs sit on different planes, so you get the connection without shimming or field-bending a flat plate. It bolts through four holes into the channel with strut nuts and bolts, which are ordered separately.

Electro-plated zinc over steel is a dry, indoor-duty finish. It suits interior mechanical rooms, ceiling spaces and conditioned areas. For exterior runs, parking structures, wash-down areas or anywhere with regular moisture or chemical exposure, specify a hot-dip galvanized or stainless fitting instead.

No. The B357ZN ships as the steel fitting only. You supply the channel nuts and hex bolts to land all four holes, sized to the strut channel you are fastening to. Order that hardware on the same purchase order or the fitting arrives with nothing to hold it.

Order it as Eaton B-Line B357ZN. The ZN suffix is the electro-plated zinc version of the four hole offset bent tee; the same fitting number in another finish suffix is a different part.

Only if both pieces of channel land in the same plane. A flat plate needs the two members flush; the B357ZN is bent so it steps between two planes, which is what you want when a branch run sits back from the face of the main run. Forcing a flat plate across an offset puts the fastening into bending and loosens over time.
