B-LINE B261-12HDG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What load can the B-Line B261-12HDG knee brace carry?
The B261-12HDG two hole knee brace is rated for 1020 lbs. That is the figure to design to when you are bracing a strut trapeze or a wall-mounted cantilever run of conduit or pipe.
2) How much space do I need to clear for the B261-12HDG knee brace?
Plan for 12 inches of overall length, 10.12 inches of height and 1.62 inches of width. The corner to brace dimension is 10-1/8 inches, which is the leg measurement that decides how far back along each strut member the bolt points land. If your conduit or duct runs closer to the corner than that, the brace will foul it.
3) Can I use the B-Line B261-12HDG outdoors or in a wash-down area?
Hot-dipped galvanized steel, so yes for exterior and damp interior work such as rooftops, parking structures, loading docks and mechanical yards. Pair it with HDG strut and HDG hardware rather than plain electro-zinc pieces, otherwise the plated parts corrode first and become the weak point of the joint.
4) Is a 45 degree knee brace like the B261-12HDG right for stiffening a strut trapeze, or do I need a gusset plate?
A 45 degree knee brace is the part for adding diagonal stiffness to a strut corner where you have room to run the diagonal back into the structure. It bolts through two holes and transfers load along the diagonal, which is what you want on a cantilevered or wall-bracketed strut arm carrying conduit. A flat gusset or corner plate is the choice instead when the joint has to stay in one plane with no projecting diagonal, for instance tight to a wall or ceiling where a 10-1/8 inch diagonal reach will not fit. The B261-12HDG gives you that diagonal reach at 1020 lbs.
5) Does the B261-12HDG knee brace come with bolts and channel nuts?
The B261-12HDG is the 1.65 lb steel brace only. Channel nuts and bolts are ordered separately, and you need two sets, one per hole. For hot-dipped galvanized strut, spec HDG channel nuts and HDG bolts so the whole assembly matches the finish of the brace.
6) I am standardizing strut bracing across a facility. Is the B261-12HDG a single part number I can stock?
Yes. It is sold as one model, B261-12HDG, with no finish or size options to pick, so there is nothing to mis-specify on a repeat order. Every piece is the hot-dipped galvanized 1020 lb 45 degree two hole brace with the 10-1/8 inch corner to brace dimension.
