B-LINE 4D22SH-120SS6 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is this strut channel suitable for wet, coastal, or chemical wash-down areas?
Yes. The 4D22SH-120SS6 is Type 316 stainless steel, which is the grade specified for marine and coastal exposure, food and pharma wash-down, and chemical plant environments where painted or plain galvanized strut corrodes out. If the run is indoors and dry, a pre-galvanized or painted 4D22 costs less and does the same job.
2) Will standard strut nuts and fittings fit the 4D22 channel?
The 4D22 is a 2.12 by 2.12 inch back-to-back style profile, so it takes fittings sized for that channel series, not the fittings for a single 1-5/8 by 1-5/8 strut. When you are ordering channel nuts, clamps, and brackets, match them to the 4D22 dimension. In a 316 stainless installation, specify stainless fittings and hardware as well, since mixing plated steel hardware into a stainless run reintroduces the corrosion point you paid to avoid.
3) What does the SH in 4D22SH mean for mounting holes?
SH is the slotted hole pattern, punched in the channel back so you can bolt to structure or stagger anchor points along the run without field drilling. The slots let you shift the channel slightly to line up with existing anchors or to square a rack. If you need an unpunched back for a continuous weld or a clean face, order the solid-back version of the 4D22 instead.
4) What gauge is the B-Line 4D22 stainless strut, and is 18 gauge heavy enough for pipe racks?
It is 18 gauge steel. That is a light-to-medium duty strut, fine for conduit runs, small pipe, cable tray supports, and equipment bracing at normal spans. For heavy trapeze runs with long unsupported spans or large-diameter pipe, step up to a heavier gauge 12 gauge strut rather than pushing this one.
5) Is the 4D22SH-120SS6 the right part number to order for a stainless 10 foot slotted strut?
Yes. 4D22SH-120SS6 breaks down as the 4D22 channel profile, SH slotted hole pattern, 120 inch length, and SS6 for Type 316 stainless. That is the full manufacturer part number for Eaton B-Line, so quoting it gets you the exact configuration with no suffix to add.
6) Can this 10 foot strut be cut to length in the field?
Yes, 18 gauge steel channel cuts readily with a bandsaw, chop saw with a metal blade, or portable band saw. On the 316 stainless version, use a stainless-dedicated blade or wheel and deburr the cut, then treat the cut end, because a bare cut edge is where corrosion starts on an otherwise stainless run. You get 120 inches per stick to work from.
