H-132-OSA strut channels are the most common and typically the standard 12 gauge back-to-back welded channels specified for numerous applications. This configuration allows for attachment to both the top and bottom of the strut. It is most commonly used for MEP supports, trapeze, seismic bracing, columns, and long spans. Sometimes referred to as "deep" strut, it provides versatility and strength for a wide range of construction and support 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.
H-Strut channels are produced in standard 10' and 20' lengths with a tolerance of ±¹⁄₈". Other lengths are available upon request.
