Low-Carbon Steel U-Channels

Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. It's widely fabricated into parts that don’t require high strength.

Strut Channel Framing and Fittings

Strut Channel

High-Profile Strut Channel

Up to two times the height of regular strut channel, this high-profile channel is stronger than regular strut channel.

Low-Profile Strut Channel

Half the height and the same width as regular strut channel, this low-profile strut channel fits into tight spots and is compatible with many of the same brackets.

Curved Strut Channel

Create continuous runs of channel without corners.

Extra Low-Profile Strut Channel

Run cable and tubing in the tightest spaces with channel that is one-quarter the height and one-half the width of regular strut channel.

Strut Channel for Quick-Connect Clamps

For compatibility with quick-connect clamps to secure pipe and conduit without screws and tools, this strut channel has narrow slotted holes.

Side-to-Side Stacked Strut Channel

This welded, one-piece strut channel combines two strut channels side-to-side.

Telescoping Strut Channel

Slide the strut channel into the tube for telescoping length adjustments.

Rod Stabilizing Strut Channel Nuts

Keep a rod securely centered against the strut channel.

Clamping Strut Channel Nuts

Connect two channels to create a stacked channel.

Strut Channel Push Nuts

Push these nuts into place rather than threading them onto a fastener.

Strut Channel Nuts with Springs

A spring plus serrated grooves that grip the lip of the channel provide a more secure hold than standard strut channel nuts.

Easy-Position Strut Channel Nuts

In addition to serrated grooves for gripping the lip of the channel, these nuts have wings for easy positioning.

Strut Channel Nuts

Serrated grooves grip the lip of the channel.

Twist-Lock Strut Channel Nuts

Insert these nuts into the long open side of strut channel and twist to secure. A built-in washer enables one-handed installation.

Hinged Strut Channel Nuts

Quickly attach these nuts by twisting them closed at any point along a threaded rod.

Square Strut Channel Nuts

Also known as insert nuts, these convert slotted holes to threaded round holes and keep them centered in the channel.

Slip-Resistant Strut Channel Nuts

A tab fits tightly against the lip of the channel to keep these nuts from slipping.

Strut Channel Nuts with Studs

There's no need for additional fasteners with these nuts—they combine a strut channel nut with a spring and a threaded stud.

No-Spin Strut Channel Washers

Notches on these washers grip the channel to keep them in place.

Strut Channel Washers

Use with hex nuts to connect threaded rod.

Centering Strut Channel Washers

Keep hardware centered in the strut channel slot.

Sit-on-Top Strut Channel Washers

Add hardware to strut channel without having to hold the washer in place or reach inside the channel.

Strut Channel Trolleys

Strut Channel Trolley Brackets

Brackets mount on the outside of strut channel to allow trolley movement.

Strut Channel Feet

Provide a stable, nonmarring base for strut channel legs.

Corner Strut Channel Brackets

Offset-Surface Strut Channel Brackets

Surface Strut Channel Brackets

Strut Channel Brackets for Quick-Connect Clamps

These brackets have narrow slots compatible with quick-connect clamps for securing pipe and conduit on the channel side of struts without screws or tools.

Wraparound Strut Channel Brackets

Designed to wrap around the sides of strut channel, these brackets provide a stronger hold than other strut channel brackets.

Back-to-Back Stacked Strut
Channel with Mounting Plate

Strut Channel with Mounting Plate

Push-In Strut Channel Brackets

Push these brackets into strut channel and tighten the included cam screws for a partially concealed connection.

Strut Channel Pivots

Position two strut channels at a 30° to 60° angle, then tighten the bolt to secure.

Strut Channel Covers

Create a four-sided raceway for cable, or give a more finished look to strut channel structures.

Strut Channel Casters

Strut Channel Braces

Support the corners of strut channel structures.

Strut Channel Shelf Brackets

A tab on the end of these shelf brackets fits inside the strut channel for extra stability.

Snap-In Strut Mount Hangers

For quick mounting of components, these hangers snap into strut channels for a strong hold and easy repositioning.

Strut Channel Hinges

Provide smooth motion between two pieces of strut channel.

Strut Mount Hangers

Slip these hangers onto the lip of top-opening strut channel to attach chain, wire rope, pipe, and threaded rod.

Strut Channel Caps and Plugs

Cover rough ends of strut channel.

Steel Hat Channel

In addition to creating space inside walls or ceilings—to prevent dampness or make room for insulation—these channels can also be used to level or resurface them.

Mounting Channels for Enclosures

Customize component placement without drilling leaky holes—these channels screw into the mounting bosses in your enclosure.

Floor Routing Supports

Floor-Mount Strut-Style Supports

Reduce noise caused by HVAC systems. These sturdy rubber supports isolate vibration caused by heat pumps and air conditioning units, resulting in a quieter facility. When used on roofs, they also keep components above puddled water, which can cause damage.
