This strut channel measures 120 inches in length, with a height of 0.81 inches and a width of 1.62 inches. It is made from steel and finished in hot-dipped galvanized coating, using a 14 gauge thickness and a hole pattern of H178, channel type B54.
Yes. The hot-dipped galvanized finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance, making it suitable for damp, outdoor, and exposed industrial environments where long-term durability is important and maintenance cycles are a consideration.
Certifications are listed as Not Applicable for this SKU. The specification emphasizes dimensions, material, finish, and standard B-Line channel geometry rather than formal third-party certifications.
Hot-dipped galvanization protects the base steel from corrosion, extending service life, reducing repaint and replacement costs, and lowering total cost of ownership in demanding facilities. This is especially advantageous for long-span or outdoor installations where exposure to moisture and contaminants is a factor.
