Thomas Betts AB-227 45 Degree Strut Channel Fitting

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS AB-227 is a 45-degree channel and strut fitting designed for use in metal framing systems. It provides a fixed angular connection point where two strut channels must meet at a 45-degree angle, maintaining structural alignment in support assemblies. Constructed from steel with a gold galvanized finish, this fitting delivers corrosion resistance suited to both indoor and light commercial environments. Electricians, mechanical contractors, and structural installers use this type of fitting when building cable tray supports, pipe hangers, equipment platforms, and similar unistrut-based frameworks.

This fitting is intended for joining metal framing channel and strut assemblies where a 45-degree offset connection is required. It is commonly installed in commercial and industrial construction projects that rely on continuous slotted strut systems for overhead or wall-mounted support structures. The gold galvanized finish makes it appropriate for applications where mild corrosion protection is a factor. It ships as a single piece and is sold individually.

Key Features

• Compatible cross-reference with Unistrut part number P1546 and B-Line part number B154
• Sold as a single fitting with no minimum order quantity above one unit
• Fits standard joining metal framing channel and strut systems

Compatibility

Designed for use with joining metal framing channel and strut systems. Cross-references to Unistrut part number P1546 and B-Line part number B154 as noted in supplier documentation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians or mechanical contractors working with strut support systems per applicable NEC or local building code requirements. Disconnect or de-energize any nearby electrical equipment before working in the vicinity of energized systems. Secure all strut hardware to the manufacturer-specified torque range using appropriate strut nuts and bolts, and verify that the completed assembly meets the load requirements for the supported equipment. Do not use this fitting in applications that exceed the structural rating of the strut system.
