Standard Duty Ladder (SDL) Series Cable Ladder
& Heavy Duty Ladder (HDL) Series Cable Ladder
High Performance Ladder
(HPL) Series Cable Ladder
Designed to literally save tons in
overall weight for offshore and
modular projects, this patentpending cable ladder offers a unique
combination of low weight and
high strength. This high strength to
weight ratio allows for increased load
capacities and keeps project weight
budgets in balance. Learn more, visit
www.cooperbline.com/HPL.
Heavy Duty Splice Plate
When HDL or SDL Cable Ladder
is used in conjunction with our
Heavy Duty Expansion Splice
Plate, the result is a reduction of
supports required at expansion
joints by as much as 50%.
For more information, visit
www.cooperbline.com/oil-gas
or www.bline.com.
Designed to help decrease your cost and engineering complexity by reducing
the number of structural steel supports needed for cable ladder systems in
heavy industrial environments. Through extensive laboratory testing, Eaton's
B-Line Business has determined that its metallic cable ladder systems are able
to be supported by fewer structural steel supports than currently recommended
by NEMA VE-2. Our engineering expertise and unique product features have
allowed us to develop a cable ladder system with industry-leading strength and
stability that can help reduce the number of structural steel supports by up to
66% without diminishing the load carrying capacity of the system.

BB4 Series Dual Stud
Mount Bracket
The unique dual support design
allows the installer to install
power on either side of the
stud, or power on one side and
low voltage on the other side.
It is compatible with studs that
are 2 1/2" to 6" depths, and will
accommodate both 4" and 4 11/16"
boxes.
BB8 Series Bracket
BRC6M Cable Support
The unique design of the bracket
helps contractors reduce installation
time, while lowering total installed
cost. By combining the enhanced
features of the BB8 bracket with the
Rapid Ring™ Self-Adjusting Pre-Fab
Ring contractors no longer need to
worry about drywall depths. With
the BB8 bracket and the optional
floor stand, installers no longer
need to measure to meet required
install heights. Combining the cable
containment support and the BB8
bracket, eliminates the need for
contractors to install a separate
means of cable support.
With a unique push mount feature
and zip tie locking tab, the support
is designed to help installers save
time on the job site. Its unique zip
tie locking tab design allows for easy
securing of up to six MC cables with
one support. The built in features of
the support helps ensure cables are
positioned accurately at 1and 1/4" from
the face of the stud.
Redi-Rail™ Cable Tray
Series 1
Aluminum Cable Tray
Rapid Ring™ SelfAdjusting Pre-Fab Ring
A self-adjusting pre-fab plaster
ring installs in just 4-steps
in as little as 15 seconds
per unit, compressing your
project schedule, helping cut
operational costs and reducing
on site waste.
With a redesigned I-Beam side
rail, this tray features strategically
positioned pre-punched rung and
splice holes allowing installers
to easily splice or add accessory
attachments in the field without
drilling to save time and labor costs.
C22 Series Commercial Grade Strut
Designed with a strength to weight ratio that is higher than the typical
12 gauge 15/8" x 1 5/8" strut, all while delivering a 5% or higher load
rating. Available in the four most common materials, the C22
series also meets or exceeds resistance to slip and
pull-out testing requirements.

either vertically or horizontally on walls or ceilings.
Learn more, visit www.cooperbline.com/cpvc.
Featuring an open design to help prevent water from
damming around the block, while maintaining its
cataloged load ratings. In addition to retaining the
performance characteristics of the original version, the
new design will make it even easier for installers to make
adjustments to the DBE, DBR and DBM Dura-Blok series.
Snap 'N Shield™ Clevis Support
TOLCO™ Fig. 4LA Seismic Brace
Attachment Expansion

brace attachment is one complete component, which requires
no additional assembly. Also, the universal design of the
product allows it to be used in both longitudinal and lateral
bracing applications. The brace attachment includes three
break-off head fasteners, which helps provide visual verification
of proper installation for installers and inspectors.

J-Hook Color ID Clip
Color-coded clips allow for content designation. Clips
snap on to existing B-Line J-Hooks to easily designate
separate pathways to prevent crossover. Manufactured
from Underwriters Laboratories (UL) listed material for
plenum spaces.
Solar Racking
ARISTA™ Monolithic Commercial
Rooftop Solar Racking System
Fixed Tilt Ground Mount
Solar Racking System
Designed with high-strength galvanized steel
material which allows the system to cover
longer spans, while decreasing the number
of stands required on a given project. This,
coupled with a new pre-assembly process,
leads to even faster installation times and less
material to move around the roof.
Designed to ensure a fast,
efficient installation process on
commercial and utility scale solar
projects. All hardware for the rack assembly is
pre-installed on the rails; and the innovative slotted
connections allow for quick rack assembly. Modules
"nest" between the rails, allowing installers to quickly
panelize the racking. Also, the new Rear Mount Clip
provides a new method to rapidly clamp panels to the
rack with no threaded fasteners.
