H-132-OS2.5

Overview

H-132 strut channels are 1⁵/₈" X 1⁵/₈" 12 gauge channels with a weight of 180 lbs per 100 ft. H-132 strut is the most common, and typically the standard, 12 gauge channel specified for numerous applications. Sometimes known as "deep" strut, it is commonly used for MEP supports, trapeze, seismic bracing, and many other applications. It is available "slotted" or with several other pre-punched hole and weld configurations.

Specifications

General

H-STRUT® channels are manufactured from high quality, domestically sourced structural steel and roll formed into shape. These products comply with MFMA-4 standards, and beam and column load tables are calculated in accordance with the ANSI North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members, 2016 Edition.

Length Information

H-Strut channels are produced in standard 10' and 20' lengths with a tolerance of ±¹⁄&sub8;". Other lengths are available upon request.

Loading Data

Load capacities include a safety factor of 1.68 for beam loads and 1.80 for column loads.
For center span: multiply load by 0.5 and deflection by 0.8.
For aluminum: multiply loads by 33%.
