B-LINE B136HDG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the B-Line B136HDG gusset plate rated for outdoor or wet locations?
The B136HDG is hot-dipped galvanized steel, which is the finish used for outdoor, damp, and corrosive-duty strut runs. Rooftop, parking structure, tunnel, and exterior wall work are all typical for a HDG fitting. For dry indoor conditions a plain or electro-galvanized fitting is usually enough, but HDG is never wrong indoors.
2) Does the B136HDG plate come with the strut nuts and bolts to mount it?
No. The B136HDG ships as the flat four hole tee gusset plate only. You order channel nuts, bolts, and washers separately, four sets to fill the plate, sized to the bolt hole and matched in finish. On an exterior job pair the hot-dipped galvanized plate with galvanized or stainless hardware so you are not mixing dissimilar coatings at the joint.
3) Will the B136HDG work with 1-5/8 inch strut channel?
Yes. At 1.62 in wide the plate sits within the 1-5/8 in face of standard strut channel, which is the dimension B-Line strut fittings are built around. It bolts through the channel slot with standard strut nuts.
4) How thick is the B-Line B136HDG four hole tee plate steel?
Quarter inch steel. That thickness is what separates a gusset plate from a light flat splice plate: the gusset shape plus 1/4 inch stock is meant to stiffen a strut joint against racking rather than just hold two pieces in line. Total weight of the piece is 1.175 lb.
5) Should I use a flat tee gusset plate or a 90 degree angle fitting to join strut?
They solve different joints. A flat gusset plate like the B136HDG bolts across the face of two pieces of strut lying in the same plane, making a tee where both runs stay flat against the same surface. If your second run turns out of plane, off a wall or up from a ceiling, you need a right angle or post base fitting instead. The four hole pattern here gives you two fasteners in each leg, which is what keeps the tee from pivoting under load.
6) Is this the Eaton B-Line B136HDG, and what is the part number I order by?
Yes, this is Eaton's B-Line series strut fitting, ordered as part number B136HDG. The HDG suffix is the hot-dipped galvanized version of the B136 flat four hole tee gusset plate.
