CUT TO A CUSTOM LENGTH? MAY SAVE ON SHIPPING

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT CUT?

Some cutting jobs allow us to use ground shipping rather than LTL, yielding significant freight savings. A customer service associate will contact you to confirm the cut list and shipping and freight costs prior to finalizing your order. eg - 4 cuts per stick x 5ft per section

12 Gauge Solid Strut Channel P5500 is commonly used for trapeze supports, seismic bracing, ceiling grids, pipe, conduit, duct and cable tray supports, racks, and other general framing. For application examples, refer to our Application Showcase.

Features:

  • Product dimensions are 1 5/8" wide x 2 7/16" tall x 12 ga. thick, solid.
  • Punched holes are also available for ease of installation
  • The advantage of a deeper, heavier gauge profile is to support heavier loads and mitigate deflection under load.
  • OPM pre-approved for seismic applications
  • UL and CSA listed
  • Our P5500 is available in the following finishes: Pre-Galvanized (PG), Unistrut Defender (DF), Hot-Dip Galvanized (HG), Plain (PL), Green (GR), Zinc Dichromate (ZD), Stainless Steel (SS or ST) and Aluminum (EA).
  • Made in the USA
