Multipurpose 304 Stainless Steel U-Channels
 |
 |  |
Round Inside Corner | Square Inside Corner |
Create structural framing with easy access for fastening, wiring, or draining in corrosive indoor and outdoor environments. These U-channels are often used to create architectural trim, food and pharmaceutical equipment, marine structures, and lightweight structural supports. They maintain their corrosion resistance in temperatures up to 1500° F.
304/304L Stainless Steel—Dual certified, choose 304/304L whether you need 304, 304L, or an alloy that captures the benefits of both. Low carbon content improves weldability while maintaining corrosion resistance and strength.
U-Channel—Often used as edge protectors, cable trays, and trim, these channels have thin, straight legs. Also known as bar channels.
C-Channel—Stronger than U-channels, these channels have thicker, tapered legs that distribute loads more evenly. They’re often used to make frames, supports, and other structural components.
MC-Channel—The strongest option. These channels have a wide base and the thickest legs of all the types. Their legs are straight, so it’s easier to attach bolts to them than to C-channels.

Highly Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel U-Channels
|
| |
Round Inside Corner | Square Inside Corner |
Build highly corrosion-resistant structural framing with easy access for fastening, wiring, or draining. These U-channels are often used to create architectural trim, food and pharmaceutical equipment, marine structures, and lightweight structural supports. One of the most corrosion-resistant types of stainless steel, 316 stands up to the harshest chemicals, including bleach, chlorine, and phosphoric acid. It's a step up from 304, which has similar strength and temperature performance. It maintains its corrosion resistance in temperatures up to 1500° F.
316/316L Stainless Steel—Dual certified to meet both 316 and 316L requirements. The low carbon content makes this stainless steel easy to weld while maintaining strength and corrosion resistance.
U-Channel—Often used as edge protectors, cable trays, and trim, these channels have thin, straight legs. Also known as bar channels.
C-Channel—Stronger than U-channels, these channels have thicker, tapered legs that distribute loads more evenly. They’re often used to make frames, supports, and other structural components.
MC-Channel—The strongest option. These channels have a wide base and the thickest legs of all the types. Their legs are straight, so it’s easier to attach bolts to them than to C-channels.
