B-LINE B297-18ZN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How much load will the B-Line B297-18ZN strut bracket carry?
The B297-18ZN is rated for a uniform load capacity of 1100 lb. That is a uniform rating, so a concentrated point load at the free end of the 18 inch arm is not the same thing as 1100 lb spread across it. For pipe runs, conduit racks, or duct supports sized off a uniform load, that figure is the one the engineer works from.
2) What size bolt goes through the mounting holes on the B297-18ZN bracket?
The mounting holes are 9/16 inch in diameter, which takes a 1/2 inch bolt or strut nut hardware with normal clearance. The bracket ships as a bracket only, so the bolts, channel nuts, and washers are separate line items on your order.
3) What are the actual dimensions of the B-Line B297-18ZN bracket?
It measures 6.25 inches in height, 18 inches in length/depth, and 1.62 inches in width, and weighs 6.68 lb. The 1.62 inch width is the giveaway that this is a single-channel profile bracket, so it sits on standard 1-5/8 inch strut face without overhanging.
4) Is the electro-plated finish on the B297-18ZN bracket OK for outdoor or wet locations?
Electro-plated zinc is a thin-coat finish intended for dry indoor use, mechanical rooms, and covered interior runs. For rooftop, exterior, wash-down, or corrosive environments, specify a hot-dip galvanized or stainless version of the same bracket instead, since electroplating will not hold up to sustained moisture.
5) Can I order the B-Line B297 bracket in a shorter length than 18 inches?
The B297-18ZN is the 18 inch electro-plated version and that is the single configuration under this model number. The B297 family is built in other arm lengths, so if you need a shorter cantilever, order the corresponding B297 length rather than cutting this one down, since shortening a formed bracket changes its load behavior.
