Thomas Betts AB-205 90 Degree Strut Fitting Steel

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS AB-205 is a 90-degree strut fitting designed for use with metal framing channel and strut systems. Fabricated from steel with a gold galvanized finish, this fitting provides a right-angle connection point in strut assemblies used across electrical, mechanical, and plumbing support applications. It is installed by licensed electricians, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors when building or extending unistrut-style support frameworks. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and moderate-exposure environments. At 0.85 pounds, it is a compact, single-piece component that integrates directly into standard metal framing channel runs.

This fitting is used wherever a 90-degree directional change is needed within a metal framing channel assembly. Typical applications include electrical conduit support structures, pipe hangers, equipment mounting frames, and HVAC equipment supports in commercial and industrial construction. It is suited for both new installations and retrofit work where an existing strut run must be extended or redirected at a right angle. The single-piece construction simplifies field assembly and reduces hardware count on the job.

Key Features

• 90-degree angle fitting for directional changes in strut channel assemblies
• Steel construction with gold galvanized finish for corrosion resistance
• Compatible with standard metal framing channel and strut systems
• Lightweight at 0.85 pounds for easy handling during installation
• Single-piece design reduces assembly complexity in the field

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard metal framing channel and strut. Cross-references to Unistrut part number 01325 and B-Line part number B104.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed electricians or mechanical contractors as part of a strut support framework. De-energize any electrical systems in the work area before beginning installation. Standard hand tools including wrenches and hex keys are used to secure strut hardware. Follow applicable NEC and local building code requirements for support spacing and fastener torque in your jurisdiction.
