B-Line Eaton series strut pipe clamps and accessories, .104" height, 5.039" length, 1.25" width, Steel, Includes combination recess hex head machine s

The B2014SS6 is a Type 316 stainless steel strut pipe clamp. Type 316 is the marine and chemical grade stainless, so it is the one to use on wash-down areas, coastal exteriors, pool rooms, wastewater plants and similar corrosive spots where plated carbon steel strut hardware rusts out. The catalog material field reads Steel, and the product description specifies stainless steel type 316.

The screw is in the bag. The B2014SS6 ships with a combination recess hex head machine screw, so you get the clamp halves and the fastener together. What is not included is the strut channel nut, so if you are mounting to channel you still need a spring nut sized to your strut.

The B2014SS6 is a two-piece strut pipe clamp measuring 5.039 in long by 1.25 in wide by .104 in thick on the steel. That 1.25 in width is the band width of the clamp, not the pipe size, so match the clamp to the outside diameter of your run rather than to the strap dimensions when sizing.

You can, but you should not want to. Bolting 316 stainless hardware to plated or galvanized channel in a wet environment sets up galvanic contact, and the carbon steel channel is what corrodes. If the reason you are buying the 316 B2014SS6 is a corrosive location, run stainless channel and stainless channel nuts with it so the whole assembly matches.

Order it as Eaton B-Line B2014SS6. The SS6 suffix is the Type 316 stainless version of the B2014 clamp body, so do not accept a plain B2014 or an SS4 (304) substitution if the spec calls for 316.

It is a strut-mounted pipe or conduit clamp, meaning a two-piece band that captures the pipe against a channel with a single machine screw. That is different from a one-hole or two-hole strap that fastens flat to a wall or deck. Use the B2014SS6 where you are running on Unistrut-style channel; use a strap where you are fastening directly to a surface.

Each B2014SS6 clamp weighs .38 lb, screw included. On a long horizontal run that dead load adds up quickly once you are spacing clamps every few feet, so count it into the trapeze or strut loading along with the pipe and its contents.
