Unistrut Type Strut Channel
Strut Channel
Channel,
often referred to by one of several manufacturer trade names,
(Unistrut) 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. Standard Unistrut Channel usually has holes of some
sort in the base, to facilitate interconnection or fastening strut to
underlying building structures.
Advantages
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 brackets and
channel nuts fastened together with standard set screw bolts - Ranging from
metric thread M6, M8,M10 & M12 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.
