No Welding Needed with the Unistrut Framing System

The Unistrut Framing System:

Saving time is a recipe for success in the construction industry. Quicker installations and more efficient work processes reduce labor costs and maximize ROI. The old adage “Time is money” is a bit of a cliché, but every successful contractor will vouch for the veracity of this statement. Today’s post will explore how the Unistrut framing system saves time and reduces labor costs.

Let’s start with key features of the Unistrut system that help you build with confidence:

The Unistrut Framing System:

A 90 degree clockwise turn aligns the grooves in the nut with the inturned edges of the channel. Again, fittings can be placed anywhere along the channel opening, creating complete freedom of adjustment while eliminating the need to drill holes (Illustration 2)

Insert the bolt through the fitting and into the channel nut and finger tighten. See illustration 5 for an end view showing the nut in place (Illustration 3).

Next, bolt the additional channel section in place by following the procedures outlines in steps 1-3 (Illustration 4).

Tightening the bolts with an ordinary hand wrench locks the serrated teeth of the nut into the inturned edges of the channel to complete a strong, weld-free connection. If a connection needs to be moved, the adjustment is simple as loosening the nuts, sliding the assembly to a new position, and re-tightening the bolts. All connections made using the Unistrut system are 100% adjustable and re-usable with no surface prep, welding, drilling, or special tools required (Illustration 5).
