Overview Specifications Technical Information
Overview
H-162 Back to Back Welded Channel - 2 Pieces

H-162-A 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 ±0.015" on outside dimensions.

  • H-162-A
  • 1-5/8" X 1-5/8"
  • 12 Gauge Back-to-Back
  • Weight/100 ft - 270 lbs
  • H-162 is a light-duty welded channel capable of top and bottom attachment in a 1 5/8" tall product. This product is commonly used for trapeze to support MEP systems.
