Eaton B171ZN Channel Splice Plate Strut

Product Description

The EATON B171ZN is a channel splice plate designed for joining sections of B-Line strut channel in structural support systems. This fitting maintains alignment between channel runs and provides a secure mechanical connection at splice points. It is a standard component in strut-based support frameworks used across commercial and industrial installations. Electrical contractors, plumbers, and mechanical trades use splice plates when extending or terminating channel runs in pipe support, cable tray support, and equipment mounting applications.

The B171ZN is suited for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial support systems built with B-Line series strut channel. Typical applications include overhead pipe support grids, conduit support runs, and structural framing assemblies where continuous channel sections must be joined end to end. The splice plate fits into the channel profile and is secured with standard strut hardware.

Key Features

• Joins strut channel sections end to end to extend support runs
• Maintains structural alignment across splice points
• Compatible with standard B-Line strut channel hardware and fasteners
• Lightweight construction at 1.63 pounds for easy handling during overhead installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style splice fitting for use with B-Line series strut channel support systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians, plumbers, or mechanical contractors working on support structure assemblies. De-energize any nearby electrical systems before working in the installation area. Secure the splice plate with appropriate strut nuts and bolts per the project structural requirements. Consult applicable codes including NEC and IBC for support spacing and load requirements.
