Overview Specifications Technical Information
Overview
H-172 Channel


H-172 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 Channel
  • 7/8" X 1-5/8"
