    H-162-OS

    Overview Specifications Technical Information
    Overview
    H-162 Channel With Open Slots

    H-162-OS 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-OS
    • 13/16" X 1-5/8"
    • 12 Gauge Channel
    • Weight/100 ft. - 130 lbs.
    • H-162 is a light-duty channel well suited for many applications. This product is commonly used for trapeze to support MEP systems. It is available "slotted" or with several other pre-punched hole and weld configurations.

    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.

    • Aluminum (Type 6063-T6) – ASTM B221
    • Plain Steel – ASTM A1011 SS Grade 33
    • Pre-Galvanized Steel – ASTM A653 SS Grade 33, G90
    • Stainless Steel (Type 304 & 316L) – ASTM A240
    • Other materials and specifications are available upon request.
    finishes

    Finishes

    H-Strut is available in powder-coated and zinc trivalent. Other finishes are available upon request.

    • Powder-Coated
    • Zinc Trivalent Chromium (ZTC) – ASTM B633
    loading data

    Loading Data

    • Load capacities in this section include a safety factor of 1.68 for beam loads and 1.80 for column loads (based on yield strength).
    • When calculating load at the center of span, multiply load from the table by 0.5 and deflection by 0.8.
    • When calculating beam and column loads for aluminum, multiply by 33%.

    Technical Information

    H-162-OS strut channels are produced in standard 10' and 20' lengths with a tolerance of ±¹⁄₈".
    Other lengths are available upon request.
