MINI CHANNEL & FITTINGS B-Line s mini channels and fittings provide for an economical method of supporting light load requirements on a metal framing system. Channel Channels are cold formed on our modern rolling mills from 18 Ga. (1.2 mm) low carbon steel strips plain steel (ASTM A 611 Grade C) and pre-galvanized steel strips, (ASTM A653 SS Grade 33). A continuous slot with inturned lips provides the ability to make attachments at any point. Channel combinations are made with new state of the art, high-tech welding equipment. Lengths Standard lengths are 10 (3.05 m) and 20 (6.09 m) for B62 series, and 10 (3.05 m) for B72 series. Custom lengths are available. Mini fittings are formed from hot rolled pickled and oiled strip or sheet steel (ASTM A 607 Grade 50). The following dimensions apply to all fittings except as noted on the drawings: Hole Size 9 /32 (7.14 mm) Dia. Hole Spacing 13 /32 (10.3 mm) from end and 1 1 /16 (27.0 mm) on center.
