B-LINE B297-36ZN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How much load will the B-Line B297-36ZN strut bracket carry?
The B297-36ZN carries a uniform load capacity of 550 lb. That figure is a uniform load across the bracket, not a point load at the free end, so if you're hanging a single heavy item off the tip of the 36 inch arm, size your support accordingly.
2) What size bolt do the mounting holes on the B297-36ZN bracket take?
Mounting holes are 9/16 in diameter, which takes a 1/2 in bolt or strut nut with clearance. Standard 1/2 in channel hardware drops straight in.
3) Is the B297-36ZN bracket suitable for outdoor or damp locations?
It's steel with an electro-plated zinc finish. That's a dry indoor finish, fine for mechanical rooms, ceilings and interior runs. For outdoor, rooftop, wash-down or corrosive areas, specify a hot-dip galvanized or stainless strut bracket instead, because electroplate is a thin coating and cut or drilled edges will rust first.
4) What are the actual dimensions of the B-Line B297-36ZN bracket?
It measures 36 in long, 6.25 in high and 1.62 in wide, and weighs 12.4 lb. The 1.62 in width is the standard 1-5/8 in strut profile width, so it sits flush against 1-5/8 in channel.
5) What is the B-Line B297-36ZN used for on an electrical or mechanical job?
It's a 36 in strut bracket, part of the Eaton B-Line strut fittings and accessories line, used to build out a cantilever or support arm off strut channel for conduit racks, cable tray, pipe and equipment support. You bolt it to the channel through the 9/16 in holes and hang your trapeze or clamps off the arm.
6) Does the B297-36ZN bracket come with the bolts and strut nuts to mount it?
No. The B297-36ZN ships as the bracket alone. Order 1/2 in channel nuts and bolts separately to suit your strut, and pick the same finish family so you're not mixing plated hardware with galvanized channel in a damp spot.
7) Does the B-Line B297-36ZN bracket carry a UL listing or other certification?
No certification is carried on the B297-36ZN. It's a plain steel strut bracket rated to a 550 lb uniform load; if your spec calls for a listed seismic or fire-rated support assembly, that listing comes from the overall support system, not from this bracket.
