H-132-KO strut channels are manufactured to precise specifications as 1⁵/₈" x 1⁵/₈" 12 gauge channels with knockouts. With a weight of 194 lbs. per 100 ft., H-132 strut is the most common and typically the standard 12 gauge channel specified for a wide range of applications. Sometimes referred to as "deep" strut, it is widely used for MEP supports, trapeze installations, seismic bracing, and various other structural and support systems. It is available "slotted" or with multiple pre-punched hole and weld configurations to suit specific installation needs.
H-Strut channels are produced from prime structural metals covered by the following specifications. (See the technical section for additional information.)
H-Strut is available in powder-coated and zinc trivalent. Other finishes are available upon request.
