Thomas Betts AB220-TB Strut Channel Flat Plate Fitting

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS AB220-TB is a flat plate fitting designed for use with metal framing channel and strut systems. This fitting serves as a structural connector, allowing installers to join or extend strut runs in a flat plane. Constructed from steel with a gold galvanized finish, it provides corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and light commercial applications. Electricians and mechanical contractors working with strut-based support systems rely on flat plate fittings to maintain alignment and structural integrity across channel connections. The AB220-TB ships as a single-piece unit and is sold individually.

This fitting is used wherever metal framing channel requires a flat joining connection, including electrical conduit support systems, mechanical equipment supports, and cable tray infrastructure. It is appropriate for residential, commercial, and light industrial installations. The gold galvanized steel construction makes it a common choice in environments where standard zinc finishes are specified for corrosion resistance.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians or mechanical contractors in accordance with applicable NEC and local structural support requirements. Power down any energized systems in the work area before securing strut hardware. Use appropriate fasteners rated for the channel series being installed. Do not exceed the load ratings of the strut system when configuring support assemblies.
