Thomas Betts AB-206 Strut Channel Flat Plate Fitting

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS AB-206 is a flat plate fitting designed for joining metal framing channel and strut systems. It is manufactured from steel with a gold galvanized finish, providing corrosion resistance in typical electrical and mechanical support applications. This fitting connects strut channel runs at flat, in-line junctions and is installed by electricians, mechanical contractors, and structural support installers working with standard strut framing systems. It weighs 0.389 pounds, making it easy to handle during overhead or wall-mounted installations.

This flat plate fitting is suited for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial applications where metal framing channel must be joined end-to-end or anchored to a flat surface. It is commonly found in electrical conduit support systems, mechanical pipe hangers, equipment support structures, and cable tray framing assemblies. The gold galvanized finish makes it appropriate for indoor environments and areas with moderate moisture exposure.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians or mechanical contractors in accordance with NEC support and fastening requirements. De-energize any nearby electrical systems before working in the area. Use appropriate hardware rated for the strut channel size being joined. Do not overtighten fasteners, as this can distort the fitting and reduce clamp effectiveness.
