B-LINE B281AFLSS6 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What strut channel does the B-Line B281AFLSS6 post base fit?
The B281AFLSS6 rectangular post base is made for Eaton B-Line channel types B22A, B and C. Those are the channel profiles it is dimensioned to sit against, so if your run uses a different B-Line channel series, this is not the base to order for it.
2) What does "flush to side" mean on a B-Line strut post base?
It describes how the channel sits on the base plate. On the B281AFLSS6, the post mounts flush against the side of the base rather than centered on it, so the strut face lines up with the edge of the plate. That matters when you are setting a post tight to a wall, curb, or equipment pad and need the channel face, not the plate, to be the reference line.
3) How big is the B281AFLSS6 base plate and how much does it weigh?
The B281AFLSS6 measures 8 in length/depth, 3 in width, and 1.62 in height, and weighs 2.5 lb. Use the 8 by 3 footprint when you are laying out anchor spacing on a pad or checking clearance against adjacent equipment.
4) Is the yellow zinc chromate finish on this strut post base suitable for outdoor use?
The B281AFLSS6 is steel with a yellow zinc chromate finish. That is a plated finish intended for dry indoor and protected service. For a roof, an exterior pad, a wash-down area or anything with standing moisture, specify a hot-dip galvanized or stainless post base instead.
5) Do anchors and channel nuts come with the B281AFLSS6 post base?
No. The B281AFLSS6 is the steel base fitting on its own. Concrete anchors or floor fasteners, and the bolts and channel nuts that tie the strut to the base, are ordered separately and sized to your slab and to B22A, B or C channel.
6) Is the B-Line B281AFLSS6 post base carrying any listing or certification?
Certifications on the B281AFLSS6 are recorded as Not Applicable. It is a mechanical strut support fitting, so if your submittal calls for a listed or certified support component, that requirement has to be met elsewhere in the assembly.
7) What part number do I order for this B-Line flush-to-side rectangular post base?
Order it as Eaton B-Line B281AFLSS6. That is the full manufacturer part number for the steel rectangular post base, flush to side, in yellow zinc chromate.
