Thomas Betts AB-214 90 Degree Strut Fitting Gold Galvanized

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS AB-214 is a 90-degree strut fitting designed for use with metal framing channel and strut systems. Fabricated from steel with a gold galvanized finish, it provides a corrosion-resistant right-angle connection point within strut assembly configurations. This fitting is a standard accessory used to join and route strut channel at perpendicular angles, making it a common component in electrical support, mechanical support, and general unistrut-style framing installations. Electricians and mechanical contractors install this fitting when building cable tray supports, equipment mounting frames, and structural unistrut grids in both commercial and industrial environments.

The AB-214 is suited for use in new construction and retrofit applications where metal framing channel is the primary support structure. It is typically installed in interior mechanical rooms, electrical rooms, and above-ceiling support assemblies. The gold galvanized finish offers added resistance to corrosion, making it appropriate for environments with moderate moisture exposure. This fitting is cross-referenced to B-Line part number B844.

Key Features

• 90-degree angle configuration for perpendicular strut channel connections
• Steel construction for structural rigidity in support framing applications
• Gold galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance
• Compatible with standard metal framing channel and strut systems
• Sold as a single unit, no additional hardware kit required

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard joining metal framing channel and strut. Cross-referenced to B-Line part number B844. Verify channel size and strut profile dimensions before installation to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians or mechanical contractors following applicable NEC and local building code requirements for support systems. De-energize any nearby electrical systems before working in the installation area. Use appropriate hardware to secure the fitting to the strut channel at the connection point and verify that the assembly is torqued to the hardware manufacturer's specifications. Inspect the galvanized finish for damage after installation and touch up as needed to maintain corrosion resistance.
