B-LINE B32SH-120HDG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the B-Line B32SH strut channel solid back or slotted?
The B32SH carries the SH hole pattern, so the back of the channel is punched with holes rather than left solid. That lets you bolt the channel flat to a wall, deck, or structural steel through the back without field drilling. If you need an unpunched back for a continuous run, SH is the wrong suffix.
2) What are the actual cross-section dimensions of B-Line B32 channel?
B32 channel measures 1.62 in wide by 1.37 in tall. The 1-5/8 nominal width means standard 1-5/8 strut nuts, clamps, and fittings seat in the open face; the 1.37 in height is the shallow profile, roughly half the depth of a full 1-5/8 x 1-5/8 section, so verify your fitting depth and nut travel before mixing profiles.
3) Can B32SH-120HDG strut be used outdoors or in a wet area?
Yes. The steel channel is hot-dipped galvanized, which is the heavier zinc coating used for exterior, rooftop, parking structure, and washdown locations. Pre-galvanized (electro-zinc) strut is the indoor-dry alternative. Cut ends expose bare steel, so field cuts should be touched up with a cold galvanizing compound.
4) Will standard 1-5/8 strut nuts and fittings fit B-Line B32 channel?
The open face is 1.62 in, the standard 1-5/8 strut opening, so 1-5/8 spring nuts, channel nuts, pipe clamps, and beam clamps engage the inturned lips normally. What changes with B32 is depth: at 1.37 in tall it is a shallower section than a 1-5/8 x 1-5/8 channel, so deep-throat fittings and long bolt tails may bottom out.
5) What gauge is B-Line B32 strut and how heavy is a 10 foot stick?
It is 12 gauge steel, the standard structural thickness for 1-5/8 strut, and a full 120 in length weighs 16.2 lb. That is a one-hand carry for a single stick, but plan lifting and overhead handling accordingly when you are running a bundle up a ladder.
6) What exact part number do I order for B-Line 12 gauge 10 foot hot-dip galvanized strut with back holes?
Order Eaton B-Line part number B32SH-120HDG. The suffixes read across as B32 channel type, SH hole pattern, 120 in length, HDG for hot-dipped galvanized. Swapping any one of those changes the part, so a solid-back or pre-galvanized version is a different number.
