B-Line B176SHRZN Eaton series strut fittings and accessories, 7.43" Height, 28" Length, 1.62" Width, 4.8lbs, Steel, Right bracing slotted bracket, Thickness 1/4 in, Electro-plated

The B176SHRZN is a right bracing slotted bracket from the Eaton B-Line strut fittings line. It is the diagonal brace member that ties a strut run back to a wall, ceiling or another strut to stop a cantilevered or trapeze support from racking. Being the right-hand version, it braces in one direction only, so a left-hand brace is a separate part if you are bracing both ways off the same run.

It measures 28 inches in length, 7.43 inches in height and 1.62 inches in width. The 28 inch dimension is the reach of the brace, so allow that much clear space along the diagonal between your strut run and the anchor point before ordering.

Six holes total: one 7/16 inch diameter round hole, plus four slots of 1 inch length by 13/32 inch. The slots give you adjustment along the brace so you can take up the angle without drilling, and 7/16 inch clears the 3/8 inch strut hardware normally used on this system.

Only if you are bracing in both directions. The B176SHRZN is the right-hand slotted bracing bracket. A single cantilever arm braced one way takes one; a run braced from both sides, or a symmetrical pair of arms, takes the matching left-hand part too. Handing is determined looking at the strut face with the brace running down to the anchor.

The finish is electro-plated zinc over steel, which is a dry indoor finish. For exterior, wash-down, or corrosive environments you want a hot-dip galvanized or stainless brace instead; electro-plating is a thin coating and will rust where it sees standing water or salt.

No. The B176SHRZN is supplied as the bracket alone. You will need strut channel nuts and bolts at each connection point, sized to pass the 7/16 inch round hole and the 13/32 inch slots, plus the appropriate anchors for the wall or deck end of the brace.
