Introducing Unistrut channels and fittings
INTRODUCTION Unistrut channels and fittings offer total flexibility in design and construction of assemblies for framing applications. Unistrut products are available in a range of materials and finishes. These finishes offer differing degrees of corrosion protection for use in a variety of environments. Where required, factory decorative finishes, , are available to order.
MATERIALS Channels are cold rolled from 1.5mm and 2.5mm steel strip and are available in:
PO PLAIN OILED
PG PRE - GALVANIZED
HG HOT DIP GALVANIZED
SS STAINLESS STEEL MARINE GRADE
ZP ELECTRO ZINC PLATED

RANGE
Channels are available in plain or continuous slotted (Code T), in multiple channel combinations and all 2.5mm channels have serrated lips. Slots, 14mm wide x 28mm long or 11mm wide x 25mm long, are provided at 50mm nominal centres. Combination channels manufactured from Pre-Galvanized Steel are spot welded, whilst Hot-Dip Galvanised channels are continuously seam welded or spot welded as appropriate.
LENGTH Standard channel lengths are 3m or 6m. Cut channel lengths can be supplied.
TORQUE
The torque figures stated in this catalogue are based on using a properly calibrated torque wrench with a clean, dry (nonlubricated) Unistrut fitting, bolt and nut. A lubricated bolt or nut can cause extremely high tension in the connection and may lead to bolt failure. It must be noted that the accuracy of commercial torque wrenches varies widely and it is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that proper bolt torque has been achieved.
PERFORMANCE
It should not be assumed that the performance of a stainless steel product is similar to that of its mild steel counterpart. Consult your local service centre for further information.
FITTING APPLICATION
All part drawings illustrate only one application of each fitting. In most cases, many other applications are possible. Load values are based on use of a PNP12 Unistrut nut and M12 bolt unless specified otherwise.
STANDARDS The standard requires that products are stamped with BSEN6946:1988 and also the name of the manufacturer. Unistrut® show that the standard is achieved by rolling the channel with the part number along with the full name of the Standard BSEN6946:1988, and also their own UNISTRUT® branding. This is, as it should be, stamped into the Channel to ensure that you can clearly identify our product over the inferior product that is creeping into the market place.
