  • Convenient "tick" marks are located on 1 1/2" centers throughout length of channel to expedite field measurements and cutting.
  • 9/16" holes on 1 1/2" centers can accommodate up to 1/2" hardware and all threaded rod.

B-Line's new BK Channel is designed to facilitate field installations by providing convenient measurement markings.  The channel has small "tick" marks on 1 1/2" centers and a longer indicator on every 6" increment.  Now installers can use the built-in "tape measure" for fast and accurate field cuts.

The need to field drill the channel has also been eliminated.  Pre-punched 9/16" holes are provided on 1 1/2" centers throughout the length of the channel.  The holes can accommodate up to 1/2" hardware and all threaded rod.

BK Channel is available in both (12) and (14) gauge so that the strength of the channel can match the application.  See the chart below for part number and loading (lbs.) information.
