H-162 strut channels are manufactured by a series of forming dies, or rolls, which progressively cold work the strip steel into the desired channel configuration. This method produces a cross section of uniform dimensions within a tolerance of plus or minus 0.015", on outside dimensions.
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.
Other materials, finishes, lengths, and configurations are available upon request. Please contact us for other product availability.
