Overview Specifications Technical Information
Overview
H-162 Back to Back Welded Channel With Slots

H-162-OSA 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.

  • 12 Gauge Back-to-Back Welded Channel
  • 1⁵/₈" X 1⁵/₈"
  • Weight/100 ft. - 260 lbs.
  • H-162 is a light-duty welded channel capable of top and bottom attachment in a 1⁵/₈" tall product.
  • This product is commonly used for trapeze to support MEP systems.
