B-Line Eaton series strut fittings and accessories, .23" Height, 5.37" Length, 1.62" Width, .55lbs, Steel, Three hole splice plate | Pre assembled, Th

The plate measures 5.37 inches in length, 1.62 inches in width, and .23 inches in height, and weighs .55 lb. The 1.62 inch width matches standard 1-5/8 inch strut channel, so it sits flat on the face of the channel rather than overhanging it.

Order the channel nuts and hex bolts separately. The B141HDG is supplied as the plate itself, pre assembled, with three holes; you need three strut nuts and bolts per plate to land it on the channel, sized to your strut hardware (3/8-16 is the common size on 1-5/8 inch strut). For outdoor runs match the hardware finish to the plate's hot-dipped galvanizing.

The plate is steel with a hot-dipped galvanized finish, which is the finish specified for exterior, rooftop, and damp interior runs like parking structures and mechanical rooms. For dry indoor work a plain electro-galvanized plate is the usual choice; the hot-dipped version is what you order when the strut run sees weather.

It is 1/4 inch steel. That is the heavy gauge in the splice plate family, so it is what gets specified where the joint carries real load rather than just aligning two channels.

It depends on the load. One three hole plate on the back or side of the channel aligns and ties the joint; for a run carrying conduit or pipe weight, splice plates are normally used in pairs on opposite faces so the joint is not relying on a single 1/4 inch plate in bending. Each plate takes three bolts, so a pair means six sets of hardware.

Eaton B-Line part number B141HDG. The B141 is the three hole splice plate and the HDG suffix is the hot-dipped galvanized finish.

No. The B141HDG is a flat three hole plate for straight, end to end splices only. For a corner or an angled connection you need an angle fitting or a corner gusset from the same B-Line strut fitting range, not a flat splice plate.
