B-LINE B188ZN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How much load will the B-Line B188ZN strut bracket carry?
The B188ZN is rated for a 1080 lb uniform load. That is a uniform rating, so a concentrated point load at the free end of the 12 inch leg carries less capacity than a load spread across the bracket. Size your hanger, strut and anchors for the same or greater rating, since the weakest element in the assembly governs.
2) What size bolts fit the holes in the B188ZN bracket?
Holes are 9/16 inch diameter, which takes 1/2 inch hardware, the standard strut bolt size on B-Line channel. There are 2 holes, with 5-5/16 inch spacing on top. Bolts, channel nuts and washers are not part of the bracket, so order them separately.
3) What are the actual dimensions of the B188ZN bracket?
It measures 4 inches height, 12 inches length/depth and 1.62 inches width, and weighs 2.41 lb. The 1.62 inch width is the usual 1-5/8 inch strut profile dimension, so it sits flush on standard 1-5/8 inch channel. Check the 12 inch projection against your clearance before you commit a run.
4) Is the B188ZN bracket okay outdoors or in a damp mechanical room?
It is steel with an electro-plated finish. Electro-plated zinc is a dry-interior finish, fine for mechanical rooms, ceiling spaces and indoor conduit or pipe support. For exterior work, wash-down areas, or corrosive environments, specify a hot-dip galvanized or stainless strut fitting instead.
5) Does the B188ZN bracket come with the bolts and channel nuts?
No. The B188ZN is supplied as the bracket alone. Plan on 1/2 inch bolts with matching strut nuts and washers for each of the 2 holes, plus whatever anchors the substrate needs on the fixed end.
6) What is the B188ZN actually used for on an electrical job?
It is a steel strut bracket in the Eaton B-Line strut fittings and accessories line, used to build up strut assemblies: bracing a length of channel off a wall or column, extending a support arm, or picking up conduit, cable tray and small equipment off a strut run. With 12 inches of length and a 1080 lb uniform rating, it is a support member rather than a light trim clip.
7) Which part number do I order for this B-Line bracket?
Order by manufacturer part number B188ZN from Eaton B-Line. It is a single configuration, so there is no finish or size selection to make.
