B-LINE B297-18HDG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How much load will the B-Line B297-18HDG strut bracket carry?
The B297-18HDG carries a uniform load rating of 1100 lb. That is a uniform load figure, not a point load at the end of the arm, so spread the supported weight across the 18 inch length rather than hanging it all at the tip.
2) What bolt size do the mounting holes on the B297-18HDG bracket take?
Mounting holes are 9/16 in diameter, which is the standard strut fitting hole for 1/2 inch bolts or channel nuts. Hardware is not part of the bracket, so order the 1/2 inch channel nuts, bolts and washers separately to land it on the strut.
3) Is this B-Line bracket rated for outdoor or wet locations?
It is hot-dipped galvanized steel, which is the finish specified for exterior, rooftop and damp indoor runs. Plain or electro-zinc fittings are the indoor-only choice; the hot-dip coating here is what makes it suitable where weather or washdown hits the steel.
4) What are the actual dimensions of the B297-18HDG bracket?
It measures 6.25 x 18 x 1.62 inches (height, length, width) and weighs 6.68 lb. The 1.62 inch width matches standard 1-5/8 inch strut channel, so it sits flush on a 1-5/8 channel face without overhang.
5) How many bolts hold this strut bracket on, and how do I orient it?
Two 9/16 in mounting holes, arranged vertically, fasten the B297-18HDG back to the channel. That vertical two-hole pattern is what resists the rolling moment of an 18 inch arm, so mount it to a vertical strut run with the holes stacked as intended rather than rotating it onto a horizontal member.
6) What do I order the B-Line B297-18HDG by?
Order it by B-Line part number B297-18HDG. The B297 is the bracket series, 18 gives the arm length in inches, and HDG designates the hot-dipped galvanized finish.
7) What is this 18 inch B-Line bracket used for on an electrical job?
It is a strut fitting bracket used to cantilever an 18 inch support arm off a channel run, typically to carry conduit racks, cable tray, light fixtures or equipment away from a wall or column. Steel construction, 1100 lb uniform load, galvanized for exterior duty.
