    Overview Specifications Technical Information
    Overview
    H-172 Channel With Open Slots

    H-172-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-172 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.

    loading data

    Loading Data

    • Load capacities include a safety factor of 1.68 for beam loads and 1.80 for column loads.
    • When calculating load at the center of the 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-172-OS strut channels are produced in standard 10' and 20' lengths with a tolerance of ±¹⁄₈".
    Other lengths are available upon request.
