Channel:

Strut channel, often referred to colloquially by one of several manufacturer trade names, (e.g."G-STRUT", "Flexstrut", "Kindorf", "Unistrut", "SuperStrut", "UltraSTRUT", "Strut", "Metstrut", "JIKAstrut"), is a standardized formed structural system used in the construction and electrical industries for light structural support, often for supporting wiring, plumbing, or mechanical components such as air conditioning or ventilation systems.

Strut is usually formed from metal sheet, folded over into an open channel shape with inwards-curving lips to provide additional stiffness and as a location to mount interconnecting components. Strut usually has holes of some sort in the base, to facilitate interconnection or fastening strut to underlying building structures.

The main advantage of strut channel in construction is that there are many options available for rapidly and easily connecting lengths together and other items to the strut channel, using various specialized strut-specific fasteners and bolts. It can be assembled very rapidly with minimal tools and only moderately trained labor, which reduces costs significantly in many applications. A strut channel installation also can often be modified or added-to relatively easily if needed. The only alternative to strut channel for most applications is custom fabrication using steel bar stock and other commodity components, requiring welding or extensive drilling and bolting, which has none of the above advantages.

Shapes:

Basic strut channel comes in the open box section, 1 5/8 by 1 5/8 inch square cross section. A half height (1 5/8 inch wide, 13/16 inch tall) cross section version is also available, used mostly where mounted directly to a wall as it has significantly less stiffness and ability to carry loads across an open space or brace. A deep channel 2 7/16 inches tall and 1 5/8 inch wide is also manufactured.

The material used to form the channel is typically 12 gauge (0.1046 inch) or 14 gauge (0.0747 inch) thick sheet metal.

In addition, shapes are manufactured with two lengths of channel welded together back to back, or three or four welded together in various patterns, to form stronger structural elements.Several variations are available with different hole patterns for mounting to walls and supports. Solid channel has no holes predrilled, and must either be drilled on site or mounted in another fashion. Punched channel has round holes, large enough for 5/8 inch threaded steel rod or bolts, punched in the top of the channel at regular 1 7/8 inch centers. Half-slot channel has short, rounded end rectangular slots punched out on 2 inch centers. Slot channel has longer slots on 4 inch centers.

Our products:

1. P41 series are manufactured from hot-rolled low-carbon steel with galvanized finish or epoxy coating. Wall thickness is 2.5mm, standard delivery length is 3m or 6m. 

2.Wall thickness can be 2.0mm and 1.5mm for light hanging system, for beam load capacity, use 80% and 60% of appropriate load chart separately. 

3.When P41 series are used as beam, multiply uniformly distributed load from the table by 0.5 for concentrated load and corresponding deflection by 0.8. 

4. P41 series are also available in stainless steel on special order.

Usage:

Strut channel is used to mount, brace, support, and connect lightweight structural loads in building construction. These include pipes, electrical and data wire, mechanical systems such as ventilation, air conditioning, and other mechanical systems. Strut channel is also used for other applications that require a strong framework, such as workbenches, shelving systems, equipment racks, etc.Specially made sockets are available to tighten nuts,bolts etc. inside the channel,normal sockets are unable to fit through the opening.
