B-Line B327ZN Eaton series strut fittings and accessories, 1.75" Height, 3.37" Length, 1.62" Width, .35lbs, Steel, Two hole short open angle, 45 deg, Thickness 1/4 in, Electro-plated

The B327ZN is a two hole short open angle fitting bent to 45 degrees, used to join strut channel at an angled connection rather than a square one. Each leg carries one hole, so it bolts to the channel at two points, one on each run. It is steel at 1/4 inch thickness with an electro-plated finish.

No. The B327ZN ships as the angle bracket only. You order your strut nuts and hex head bolts separately, sized to the channel you are fastening to, two of each per fitting since it is a two hole angle.

Electro-plated zinc is a dry indoor finish. For a brace on a rooftop, a parking structure, or anywhere it sees weather or washdown, look at a hot-dip galvanized or stainless version of the same open angle fitting instead. Inside a mechanical room, ceiling space, or electrical room the plated steel is the normal choice.

The bracket is 1/4 inch steel, the heavier of the common strut fitting thicknesses, so it is intended for load-carrying bracing rather than light trim work. As with any strut assembly, the capacity of the connection comes down to the channel, the bolt size and the fastening to structure, so size the whole assembly to the published channel load, not to the fitting alone.
