B-LINE B180SHLZN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the B-Line B180SHLZN bracket handed, and do I need a right-hand version too?
The B180SHLZN is a left bracing slotted bracket, so it is handed. If your brace runs the opposite direction off the strut, you need the matching right-hand bracing bracket instead. On symmetrical installs where braces run both ways from a single point, plan on one of each rather than two of the same part.
2) What are the hole sizes and slot dimensions on the B180SHLZN bracing bracket?
Six holes total: one 7/16 inch diameter round hole and four slots of 1 inch length by 13/32 inch. The 7/16 inch hole and the 13/32 inch slot width both take standard 3/8 inch strut hardware, and the 1 inch slots give you adjustment along the brace before you tighten down.
3) Can I use this B-Line bracing bracket outdoors or in a wet area?
The B180SHLZN carries an electro-plated zinc finish on steel. That is an indoor, dry-location finish. For rooftop, exterior, corrosive, or washdown environments, specify a hot-dip galvanized or stainless equivalent instead.
4) How thick is the steel on the B-Line B180SHLZN, and is it heavy enough for structural bracing?
It is 1/4 inch steel, which is plate thickness rather than formed light-gauge sheet. That is the material used for diagonal bracing fittings where the load is carried in tension and compression through the bracket rather than just hanging off it. Full part weighs 2.04 lb.
5) What are the overall dimensions of the B180SHLZN slotted bracing bracket?
Height 4.43 inches, length 16 inches, width 1.62 inches. The 16 inch run is what sets how far out along the brace the bracket reaches, so check your brace geometry against that before ordering, and the 1.62 inch width keeps it inside the face of standard 1-5/8 inch strut.
6) Does the B180SHLZN bracket come with the nuts and bolts to attach it to strut?
No. The B180SHLZN is supplied as the bracket alone. Order strut nuts, bolts, and washers separately, sized to the 7/16 inch hole and 13/32 inch slots.
7) What is a slotted bracing bracket used for on a strut system?
It makes the diagonal connection between a strut trapeze or cantilever arm and the structure, triangulating the assembly so it resists sway and lateral load instead of relying on the hanger rod alone. The slots let you set the angle and length of that diagonal on site. On the B180SHLZN, four 1 inch slots give that adjustment and the 16 inch body sets the reach.
8) What is the exact part number to order the Eaton B-Line left bracing slotted bracket?
Order it as B-Line B180SHLZN, part of the Eaton B-Line strut fittings and accessories range. That number covers the left-hand bracing slotted bracket in 1/4 inch steel with the electro-plated finish.
