Minerallac BCSU Beam Clamp to Strut with U-Bolt, Zinc-Plated Steel

The Minerallac BCSU Beam Clamp to Strut with U-Bolt is a zinc-plated steel connector engineered to attach strut channel directly to structural steel beams. Sized for 2-7/16" and 3-1/4" channel, this clamp carries a design load rating of 1200 lbs when installed as intended, making it a dependable choice for supporting conduit, cable tray, and other electrical infrastructure from overhead steel beams. Manufactured from durable steel with an electro-galvanized finish, the BCSU resists corrosion while providing a secure, code-compliant mounting point for commercial and industrial installations. The clamp includes an integrated U-bolt for fastening directly to the beam flange, eliminating the need for additional hardware during installation. Because balanced load distribution is critical for structurally sound overhead support, the BCSU is designed to be used in pairs, ensuring the mounted strut assembly is properly supported across its full span. This makes the BCSU well suited for electricians, mechanical contractors, and installers who need a reliable, U.S.-manufactured connection between structural steel and strut-based support systems.

Key Features

  • Channel Compatibility: Designed for use with 2-7/16" and 3-1/4" strut channel sizes, covering common strut dimensions used in electrical and mechanical support systems.
  • Durable Construction: Manufactured from steel for strength and long-term performance in demanding commercial and industrial environments.
  • Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Electro-galvanized finish provides added protection against rust and corrosion for indoor and covered installation applications.
  • Design Load Rating: Rated for 1200 lbs when installed as intended, supporting the structural mounting of strut-based support assemblies.
  • Integrated U-Bolt Attachment: Includes a U-bolt for securing the clamp directly to a structural beam flange without additional hardware.
  • Installation Requirement: Designed to be used in pairs only, ensuring balanced load distribution across the mounted strut assembly.
  • Made in the USA: Manufactured domestically for consistent quality and availability on commercial and industrial projects.

Minerallac BCSU162EG – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which strut sizes does the Minerallac beam clamp to strut fitting come in?
Two sizes are offered. BCSU162EG covers 13/16 inch and 1-5/8 inch strut, which is the standard and half-height channel most electrical and mechanical trades run. BCSU325EG covers 2-7/16 inch and 3-1/4 inch channel, the deeper double-strut profiles used on heavier trapeze runs. Pick the one that matches the channel depth you are actually clamping, not the rod.
2) Can I use one Minerallac BCSU beam clamp by itself to hang a strut trapeze off a beam?
No. The BCSU beam clamp to strut is to be used in pairs only, one on each flange edge, so the load is balanced across the beam. A single clamp is not an approved installation. Order two per beam connection and plan quantities in even numbers.
3) I have 1-5/8 inch strut on my trapeze but ordered the BCSU325EG. Will it work?
No, use BCSU162EG for 1-5/8 inch strut. The 325 version is built for 2-7/16 inch and 3-1/4 inch channel, so its U-bolt opening is too deep to clamp 1-5/8 inch channel securely. The two part numbers are not interchangeable.
4) Is the Minerallac BCSU beam clamp OK for a damp indoor area like a parking garage or mechanical room?
It is steel with an electro-galvanized finish. That is a standard indoor and protected-area coating, fine for mechanical rooms, ceiling spaces, and covered garages. For direct weather exposure, wash-down, or corrosive process areas, a zinc-plated steel clamp is not the right call and you should be specifying a hot-dip galvanized or stainless support instead.
5) What does the U-bolt on the beam clamp to strut actually do?
The U-bolt is the clamping element that captures the strut channel and draws it tight to the clamp body, so the channel is held mechanically rather than welded or bolted through. That is why the fitting is sized by channel dimension: the U-bolt opening has to match the channel depth, either 13/16 and 1-5/8 inch or 2-7/16 and 3-1/4 inch.
6) I am specifying supports on a federal job with domestic sourcing requirements. Where is the Minerallac BCSU clamp made?
Country of origin is the United States, which is what a government, healthcare, or institutional buyer needs on record for domestic-preference procurement. Steel construction with an electro-galvanized finish.
7) Should I use a beam clamp to strut fitting or drill the beam for a threaded rod hanger?
A beam clamp to strut connection is mechanical and reversible, so you get no drilling, no welding, and no penetration of the structural steel, which is usually what the structural engineer and the building owner want. Drilled or welded attachments are permanent and typically need engineering sign-off. The trade-off is that the clamp has to be matched to your channel size and installed in pairs, and you work within the 1200 lb design load.
