B-Line B409-6HDG Eaton series strut fittings and accessories, 4.62" Height, 6" Length, 1.62" Width, 1.52lbs, Steel, Single channel bracket, Uniform load capacity 1920 lbs, Hot-dipped galvanized

The B409-6HDG single channel bracket is rated for a uniform load of 1920 lbs. That is a uniform rating, so a point load concentrated at the free end of the bracket will not reach the same number. The bracket itself is steel and weighs 1.52 lb.

Yes. The B409-6HDG is hot-dipped galvanized steel, which is the finish specified for outdoor, damp, and washdown or corrosive indoor environments. Plain electro-galvanized or pre-galvanized strut fittings are the indoor-dry equivalents, so if you are mounting on a roof, a loading dock, a water treatment area, or exterior building steel, the hot-dipped version is the one to order.

Order the fasteners separately. The B409-6HDG ships as the bracket alone, 1.52 lb of hot-dipped galvanized steel, so you will also need spring channel nuts and hex head bolts in a matching hot-dip or galvanized finish to keep the corrosion protection consistent through the joint. Mixing plain-plated hardware into a hot-dipped assembly is what starts rust at the connection.

It is the fitting that ties a run of strut to a wall, a column, or another piece of channel at a right angle, giving you a load-carrying shelf or an offset support. On an electrical job that means supporting conduit racks, cable tray, junction boxes, or small equipment off a structure. The B409-6HDG is the 6 inch version, so it sets the run about 6 inches off the mounting surface.

Specify Eaton B-Line B409-6HDG. The HDG suffix is the hot-dipped galvanized finish; the same bracket exists in other finishes under a different suffix, so if the brackets already installed are hot-dip galvanized, the HDG part is the one that matches both the finish and the 1920 lb uniform load rating.
