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.

Specifications

material

Material

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.

  • Hot-Dip Galvanized – ASTM A123
  • 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.
