B-LINE B321-1ZN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hanger rod does the B-Line B321-1ZN beam clamp take?
The B321-1ZN is threaded 3/8"-16, so it accepts standard 3/8" all-thread rod. The setscrew that locks it to the beam flange is the same 3/8"-16 size and ships with the clamp, so you don't need to source it separately.
2) Will a zinc-plated beam clamp like the B321-1ZN hold up outdoors or in a wet area?
The B321-1ZN is steel with an electro-plated zinc finish. That's a dry indoor or protected interior finish, fine for mechanical rooms, ceilings, and plenums. For exterior, wash-down, coastal, or corrosive process areas, step up to a hot-dip galvanized or stainless beam clamp instead, because plated zinc will bloom and rust.
3) Do I need to weld or drill the beam to install a B321-1ZN clamp?
No drilling and no welding. The B321-1ZN is a setscrew beam clamp: it hooks over the beam flange and the 3/8"-16 setscrew tightens against it to lock the clamp in place. The steel stays untouched, which is why these get used on existing structure where the engineer won't allow field holes in the beam.
4) Can I hang sprinkler pipe or plumbing from a B321-1ZN, or is it only for electrical?
Mechanically it's a 1300 lb steel setscrew beam clamp with a 3/8"-16 rod tap, which is the same attachment a pipe hanger uses. It is catalogued and cULus Listed as electrical support hardware, though. Fire sprinkler hangers have their own listing requirements, so for sprinkler work use a clamp specifically listed for that service.
5) How much clearance do I need around a B-Line B321-1ZN beam clamp?
The clamp body measures 3.5625 in, 3.25 in, and .625 in across its three dimensions, so it's a narrow profile that will sit between closely spaced beams or tight to a deck. It weighs 1.87 lb each, which matters when you're pricing a pallet quantity or hauling a few hundred up to a ceiling.
6) What is the exact part number to order this Eaton B-Line beam clamp?
Order it as B321-1ZN, the Eaton B-Line series beam clamp in electro-plated zinc. The ZN suffix is the zinc-plated finish; the clamp is otherwise the 1300 lb, 3/8"-16 rod-size B321 body.
