Nvent BC17 Strut Beam Clamp U-bolt Steel Electrogalvanized

Product Description

The NVENT BC17 is a U-bolt strut beam clamp designed to attach strut channels to overhead beams in structural support applications. Manufactured from steel with an electrogalvanized finish, this clamp provides corrosion resistance suited to mechanical rooms, commercial ceilings, and industrial installations. It is rated for a static load of 1,200 pounds and accommodates Type A strut channel measuring 41 x 41 mm. Electricians, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this hardware when securing conduit support runs, pipe hangers, or equipment racks to overhead beam structures.

The BC17 is suited for commercial and industrial overhead support systems where strut channel must be positively anchored to structural steel beams. Typical applications include supporting conduit trays, HVAC duct hangers, and piping systems from wide-flange beams, I-beams, and similar structural members. The electrogalvanized finish makes it appropriate for indoor and light-duty corrosive environments. This clamp is part of the NVENT CADDY line of strut and beam hardware.

Key Features

• U-bolt design securely clamps strut channel to the lower flange of overhead structural beams
• Steel construction with electrogalvanized finish for corrosion resistance
• Compatible with Type A strut channel (41 x 41 mm)
• Static load rating of 1,200 pounds for reliable overhead support
• Width of 76.2 mm accommodates standard beam flange dimensions
• Rod size of 0.375 inches for standard threaded rod hardware compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use with Type A strut channel (41 x 41 mm) and compatible with structural steel beams typical in commercial and industrial overhead support installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians or mechanical contractors working on overhead structural support systems. Shut off power to any energized systems in the work area before beginning overhead installation. Verify that the beam flange width falls within the clamp capacity before tightening the U-bolt hardware. Follow applicable NEC and local mechanical codes for support spacing and load requirements.
