B-Line B248HDG Eaton series strut fittings and accessories, 2.70" Height, 6.03" Length, 1.62" Width, .77lbs, Steel, Four hole open angle, 45 deg, Thickness 1/4 in, Hot-dipped galvanized

The B248HDG is a 45 degree open angle bracket for Eaton B-Line strut framing. Two holes land on one leg and two on the other, so it ties one length of strut to another at a 45 degree angle instead of the usual square 90. Typical use is bracing a trapeze or pipe support run where a diagonal kicker carries the load back to structure. It is steel, 1/4 inch thick, and weighs .77 lb.

The finish on the B248HDG is hot-dipped galvanized, which is the coating you want for exterior runs, parking structures, rooftops, tunnels, and damp interior spaces like wash-down areas or mechanical rooms. Hot-dip covers the cut edges and hole edges after fabrication, unlike a pre-galvanized or plain finish. If the run is dry interior only, a plain or electro-galvanized version of the same fitting is the cheaper call.

Yes. The B248HDG is the bracket alone. Each of the four holes needs its own strut nut and hex bolt, so a single fitting takes four nut-and-bolt sets, and you need eight if you are mirroring the connection on both sides of a back-to-back strut. Match the hardware finish to the fitting: use hot-dip galvanized nuts and bolts with a hot-dip fitting, or you get galvanic mismatch and rust streaking at the connection well before the bracket itself gives up.

The B248HDG is an Eaton B-Line series strut fitting, so it lands on B-Line channel using standard strut nuts through its four holes. Strut fittings and channel are dimensionally common across the major manufacturers at the 1-5/8 inch channel width, so a B-Line fitting mounts to 1-5/8 inch channel from other makers in practice. If your project spec calls out a single manufacturer for the whole framing system, keep the fitting and the channel in the same brand to stay in compliance with the submittal.

The B248HDG measures 6.03 x 2.70 x 1.62 inches (length, height, width as the manufacturer states them) at 1/4 inch material thickness. Check the 6.03 inch dimension against your clearance before you order, because on a tight diagonal the long leg is what runs into adjacent pipe or a wall.

Eaton B-Line series, part number B248HDG. The HDG suffix is the hot-dipped galvanized finish; the base B248 designation is the four hole open angle at 45 degrees. Order by the full B248HDG if you need the hot-dip coating, because the finish suffix is the only thing separating it from the same bracket in other finishes.
