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 Strut Channel with Knock-Outs P5500KO (knock-out) is design for use in electrical raceway and support applications. It is UL listed and CSA listed for use as a strut-type channel raceway. The knock-outs are supplied attached to the strut and can be punched out in the field, as needed, for entry and exit of the wiring from the channel raceway.

Features:

  • Product dimensions are 1 5/8" wide x 2 7/16" tall x 12 ga. thick; with knock-outs
  • The knock-outs are 7/8" in diameter and 6" on center.
  • UL and CSA listed
  • Our P5000KO is available in the following finishes: Pre-Galvanized (PG), Hot-Dip Galvanized (HG), Plain (PL) and Green (GR).
  • Made in the USA
