B-LINE B168ZN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What strut channel does the B-Line B168ZN three hole splice clevis fit?
The B168ZN clevis is made for Eaton B-Line B52 channel. It is a three hole splice clevis, so it wraps the channel section and picks up three bolt holes for the splice. If your run is a different B-Line profile, the clevis will not seat correctly and you need the fitting matched to that channel.
2) Is the B168ZN splice clevis okay for outdoor or wet locations?
It is electro-plated steel, which is a zinc plating intended for dry indoor service. For exposed exterior runs, washdown areas, or corrosive environments, specify a hot dip galvanized or stainless strut fitting instead. Plated steel will start to rust where it stays wet.
3) Does the B168ZN splice clevis come with the bolts and nuts?
Order the hardware separately. The B168ZN is the clevis only, a single steel fitting weighing 1.1 lb. You will need channel nuts and bolts sized for B52 channel to make up the three hole splice, and for a full splice you typically need a matching piece on the opposite side of the joint.
4) How thick is the steel on the B-Line B168ZN splice clevis?
It is steel at 7/32 inch material thickness. That is the load-carrying section of the clevis, and it is the number to check against the spec on your drawing when a fitting gauge is called out for a strut splice.
5) What are the dimensions and weight of the B-Line B168ZN clevis?
5.37 inch length, 2.12 inch width, .81 inch height, and 1.1 lb each. The 5.37 inch dimension is what you need clearance for along the channel at the splice point, and the 1.1 lb per piece matters when you are adding up dead load on a long trapeze or hanger run.
6) What is a splice clevis used for on a strut run?
A splice clevis joins two lengths of strut end to end so a run can be extended in the field without cutting new full lengths. The B168ZN is the three hole version for B52 channel, meaning three bolt points carry the joint. Electricians and mechanical contractors use them on trapeze hangers, cable tray supports, and equipment racks where the required run is longer than stock channel.
7) Can I order the B168ZN by the manufacturer part number?
Yes, it is ordered as Eaton B-Line part B168ZN, a single model with no finish or size options to specify. The ZN suffix corresponds to the electro-plated finish.
