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