B-LINE B198-12SS4 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the B-Line B198-12SS4 clevis bracket used for?
It's a strut clevis bracket that mounts with the channel opening facing upward, so a strut section or trapeze member seats into it from above. Typical use is supporting pipe, conduit, or cable tray runs off a structural member. The piece is 12 inches long, 3.5 inches high and 1.62 inches wide, and carries a uniform load rating of 800 lbs.
2) Is the B198-12SS4 bracket suitable for outdoor or wet/corrosive locations?
Yes. The B198-12SS4 is Type 304 stainless steel, which is the usual choice for wash-down areas, food and beverage plants, coastal exposure and other damp or mildly corrosive environments where plain or electroplated steel would rust. For harsher chloride exposure, buyers typically step up to a 316 stainless fitting instead.
3) What size strut channel does the B198-12SS4 clevis bracket accept?
The bracket is part of the Eaton B-Line strut fitting line and is sized to take standard 1-5/8 inch strut, which matches its 1.62 inch width. Check the channel you're using measures 1-5/8 inches across the face before ordering.
4) Does the B198-12SS4 come with the bolts and nuts to fasten it?
It is supplied as the bracket only. Hardware for attaching it to the channel and to the structure, plus strut nuts, washers and any rod or hanger, are ordered separately. Match the fasteners to the bracket in 304 stainless if you're using it for its corrosion resistance, otherwise plated bolts will corrode first and undo the point of the stainless bracket.
5) What is the exact part number and manufacturer for this 12 inch stainless clevis bracket?
Eaton B-Line, part number B198-12SS4. The SS4 suffix is the Type 304 stainless version of the B198 clevis bracket. Quote that full number when ordering so you don't end up with the plain or electro-galvanized equivalent.
6) How much does the B-Line B198-12SS4 bracket weigh for overhead install?
2.84 lb each. Light enough for one person to set on a ladder, and worth counting into the dead load if you're running a long line of them on a seismic or engineered support.
