Value Collection BD-18412 Steel Channel Nut Spring 3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-18412 is a steel channel nut with an integrated spring, designed to secure 3/8 inch conduit within strut channel systems. The spring-loaded design allows the nut to be inserted into the channel slot and rotated into a locked position without additional tools, making it a standard fastening component in electrical conduit and mechanical support installations. Each package contains 10 nuts, providing enough hardware for multiple runs or connection points in a single job. Licensed electricians and mechanical contractors install these as part of conduit support assemblies on walls, ceilings, and overhead structures.

The BD-18412 is suited for use with 1-1/2 inch and 1-5/8 inch strut channel, which are the two most common channel profiles found in commercial and light industrial electrical installations. These nuts are used wherever 3/8 inch threaded rod, conduit clamps, or pipe hangers must attach to a pre-installed strut channel run. Typical applications include EMT conduit support, cable tray mounting, and mechanical equipment hangers in both new construction and retrofit work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for conduit support spacing and fastener ratings. De-energize any nearby electrical systems before working in the installation area. Insert the nut into the open channel slot, rotate 90 degrees to engage the flanges, and then thread in the mating fastener until snug. Do not overtighten, as this can deform the channel nut body or strip the spring retention.
