Eaton B-line b494-18zn Braced Single Bracket 18 in Strut

Product Description

The EATON B-LINE b494-18zn is a braced single bracket designed for use with strut channel framing systems in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing support applications. Part of the B494 series, this bracket measures 18 inches in length and 1-5/8 inches in width with a depth of 8-3/4 inches and a material thickness of 7/32 inches. Constructed from steel with an electro-plated zinc finish for corrosion resistance, it is rated for a 1000 lb load capacity. Licensed electricians, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting as part of complete strut support assemblies in commercial and industrial construction.

The b494-18zn bracket is used in vertical (Zero-U) mounting configurations and is compatible with B32 Series strut channel. It is suited for residential, commercial, and industrial applications where braced single-point support is required for conduit, pipe, duct, or equipment loads. The two-hole pattern with 9/16 inch diameter holes and 4 inch spacing aligns with standard strut channel hardware, making it a direct fit for new installations and retrofit projects.

Key Features

• 1000 lb rated load capacity for heavy-duty support applications

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians, pipefitters, or mechanical contractors following applicable building and electrical codes. De-energize and depressurize all systems in the work area before mounting support hardware. Standard hand tools and fasteners appropriate for the mounting surface and strut channel type are required. Verify that the structural substrate can support the intended load before securing the bracket.
