B-LINE B494-36ZN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How much weight can the B-Line B494-36ZN braced bracket hold?
The B494-36ZN braced single bracket is rated for a 1024 lb load capacity. That rating is for the bracket itself, so the strut, anchors, and the structure you fasten to have to be sized for the same load before you can use the full number.
2) What size is the B494-36ZN bracket, and how far does it project from the wall?
It is a 36 inch bracket, 11.25 inches high and 1.62 inches wide, weighing 10.24 lb. The 36 inch dimension is the arm length, so plan on that much clear space off the mounting surface plus whatever the pipe or tray you are hanging adds.
3) Does the B494-36ZN come with the brace, channel, and mounting hardware?
Order the fasteners separately. The B494-36ZN is the braced bracket itself; the bottom brace channel it pairs with (B22 on the B494 and larger, B42 on the B494-24 and smaller), the strut nuts, and the anchors into your wall or structure are all separate line items. Budget for those when you are pricing out a run of them.
4) Is a braced strut bracket better than a plain cantilever bracket for a long run?
For a 36 inch arm, yes. A braced single bracket carries a diagonal member back to the wall channel, which is what lets this one reach 36 inches and still hold 1024 lbs. An unbraced cantilever bracket relies on the fitting and the strut nuts alone and loses capacity fast as it gets longer, so short stubs are where those belong.
5) Is the electro-plated zinc finish on the B494-36ZN okay for outdoor or wet locations?
The B494-36ZN is steel with an electro-plated zinc finish, which is an indoor, dry-location coating. For rooftops, parking structures, washdown areas, or anything exposed, step up to a hot dip galvanized or stainless bracket instead; plated zinc will rust at the cut edges and hardware first.
6) What is the correct part number to order for the 36 inch zinc braced bracket?
Eaton B-Line part number B494-36ZN. The ZN suffix is the electro-plated zinc finish and the 36 is the bracket length in inches; the same B494 family runs in other lengths, so the numeric suffix is what you change if you need a shorter arm.
