H-172-OS

Name: H-172-OS
Brand: Haydon

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.

Specifications

Material

H-Strut channels are produced from prime structural metals covered by the following specifications. (See the technical section for additional information.)

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

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

Hot-Dip Galvanized - ASTM A123
Zinc Trivalent Chromium (ZTC) - ASTM B633
Powder-Coated

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.
