B-LINE B472ZN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the B-Line B472ZN reel rack support used for?
The B472ZN is a double reel rack support that mounts on a single run of strut channel and carries a 2 inch (50) pipe as the reel axle. Electricians use it to hold wire and cable reels off the floor so conductors pull off freely during rough-in. Because it is the double style, it is built to seat the pipe for two reel positions rather than one.
2) What size pipe does the B472ZN reel rack support take?
It is sized for 2 inch (50) pipe. The pipe is the spindle the cable reel turns on, so you supply a length of 2 inch pipe long enough to span between the two supports plus your reel width. A different pipe diameter will not seat correctly.
3) Does the B-Line B472ZN mount on a single piece of strut or do I need double channel?
Single channel. The support is made to sit on one run of strut, not back-to-back double channel. Match the strut section to your reel load before you set it up.
4) Does the B472ZN come with the pipe and the strut channel?
No. What you get is the support casting itself, model B472ZN. The 2 inch pipe axle, the strut channel it mounts to, and the channel nuts and bolts are all ordered separately. Plan on a pair of supports plus your pipe length to make a working reel rack.
5) What are the dimensions and weight of the B472ZN strut reel support?
It measures 5.37 inches high, 3.25 inches in length/depth and 1.62 inches wide, and weighs 2.99 lb. The 1.62 inch width is the figure that matters most on the bench: it sits within a standard 1-5/8 inch strut profile, so it drops into the channel rather than straddling it.
6) Is the B472ZN reel support okay for damp or outdoor use?
It is steel with an electro-plated zinc finish, which suits dry indoor and sheltered locations such as shops, warehouses and staging areas. For sustained wet, washdown or exterior exposure, step up to a hot-dip galvanized or stainless strut fitting instead.
7) What part number should I order for the B-Line double reel rack support in zinc?
Order B-Line B472ZN. The ZN suffix is the electro-plated zinc finish, and it is the only configuration this model comes in, so there is no size or finish to specify on top of the number.
