B-LINE B450-3/8-ZN – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I slip a B450 U-Washer onto threaded rod that is already installed?
Yes. The U-shaped open slot lets the washer drop in from the side around rod or a fastener shank, so you don't have to break down the assembly and thread a closed round washer on from the end. That is the practical reason to keep these on the truck for retrofit work on existing strut and hanger runs.
2) Is the zinc electroplated B450 U-Washer OK for outdoor or wet locations?
The zinc electroplated finish on the B450 is a corrosion-resistant coating intended for indoor installation environments. For exposed exterior runs, wash-down areas, or corrosive process environments, specify a hot-dip galvanized or stainless support washer instead.
3) What is the B450 U-Washer actually made of?
High-strength low-alloy steel, with a zinc electroplated coating over it. That is a structural-grade steel rather than a commodity flat washer stamping, which is why it is used as a bearing surface under nuts on strut and rod assemblies where the load concentrates on a small area.
4) What does a U-washer do in a strut channel installation?
It spreads the clamping load from a nut or fastener over a wider bearing surface so the hardware doesn't dig into or deform the channel, rod assembly, or supported component. On the B450 the open slot means an installer can set it in place during assembly rather than sequencing it on first, which speeds up conduit, cable tray, and hanger work.
5) Will the B450 U-Washer work in cable tray and conduit support hangers?
Yes, those are the intended applications. Eaton B-Line lists the B450 for strut channel and framing systems, conduit and raceway support, cable tray support, and threaded rod and fastener assemblies in commercial and industrial electrical installs, both new construction and renovation.
