B-LINE 4DWN228SS6 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What bolt size does the B-Line 4DWN228SS6 strut nut take?
The 4DWN228SS6 is threaded 3/8"-16, so it takes a 3/8-16 bolt or threaded rod. If your hanger rod is 1/2-13 or 1/4-20, this is the wrong nut for that run.
2) Is this B-Line channel nut stainless, and can I use it outdoors or in a corrosive area?
It is Type 316 stainless steel, which is the grade specified for coastal, wash-down, water treatment and chemical environments where 304 or electro-galvanized hardware pits. Pair it with 316 strut and 316 bolts to avoid mixing metals in the same joint.
3) Does this dovetail nut work in closed-back or back-to-back strut?
No. This one is for openside channel only, so it goes into the open lip face of the strut. On back-to-back or closed-section runs you need to plan your connection on an open face, or use a different fastening method.
4) Do I need a separate washer with the B-Line 4DWN228SS6?
No separate washer is needed. It is a dovetail combo nut washer, meaning the washer face is built into the nut body, so you drop it in, turn it into the channel lips and run the bolt down. That is one less loose part on a lift.
5) Is a spring needed with this B-Line channel nut?
It is a slide-in dovetail nut, not a spring nut. The dovetail profile holds it in position in the channel on its own, so there is no spring to order and nothing to compress. Spring nuts are the ones that stay put in an overhead run before the bolt is started; with this style you position it and start the bolt.
6) When should I order a 316 stainless strut nut instead of a plated one?
Go 316 when the strut run sees salt air, chlorides, frequent wash-down or chemical exposure, such as pools, food plants, marine work and rooftop coastal installs. Indoors and dry, a plated or galvanized nut is normally what gets specified. The 4DWN228SS6 is the 316 stainless option in 3/8-16.
7) What is the exact part number to order for this Eaton B-Line strut nut?
Order it as B-Line 4DWN228SS6, part of the Eaton B-Line 4Dimension strut system. It ships as a single model with no finish or size options to choose, so the part number is the whole specification.
