Description
1-5/8" x 1-5/8" Slotted Strut Channel – Green, 14 Gauge x 20'
1-5/8" x 1-5/8" slotted strut channel in green-painted 14-gauge steel provides a versatile full-depth framing and support solution for electrical, mechanical, industrial, and general construction applications. The standard 1-5/8-inch square profile offers more depth than shallow strut channel and is commonly used where additional support capacity, mounting space, or system rigidity is required.
This product is supplied in 20-foot lengths and is commonly used to support conduit, cable, piping, equipment, fixtures, and modular framing assemblies. Select the required quantity based on the total footage needed for your project.

What Is Full-Depth Strut Channel?
Full-depth 1-5/8" x 1-5/8" strut is one of the most commonly used channel profiles in modular framing and support systems. Compared with shallow 13/16-inch channel, the deeper profile provides additional section depth and more room for support hardware and framing assemblies.
Its standard channel dimensions make it compatible with a broad range of strut fittings, clamps, channel nuts, threaded-rod supports, brackets, and other modular framing accessories.
Full-Depth vs. Shallow Strut
1-5/8" Full-Depth Strut
- Standard full-depth channel profile
- Greater section depth than shallow channel
- Common for mechanical, electrical, and framing systems
- Provides more room for hardware and support assemblies
- Useful where a more substantial framing member is desired
13/16" Shallow Strut
- Lower-profile channel design
- Useful where installation space is limited
- Common for lighter support and wall-mounted applications
- Reduced standoff from the mounting surface
- Often selected where full channel depth is unnecessary
Slotted vs. Solid Strut Channel
Slotted Strut
- Pre-punched mounting slots
- Allows faster field attachment
- Provides more adjustment during installation
- Useful for conduit, piping, framing, and equipment support
- Reduces the need for field drilling in many applications
Solid Strut
- No pre-punched slots
- Provides a continuous solid channel surface
- Common where field drilling or custom attachment points are preferred
- Useful in fabrication and structural support assemblies
- May be selected where slot spacing is not desirable
Why Choose 14-Gauge Strut?
Efficient Handling
- Lighter than heavier-gauge channel
- Easier to move, cut, and position in the field
- Useful for many general-purpose support applications
- Well suited for electrical and light-to-moderate mechanical work
Versatile Framing
- Supports conduit and cable-management systems
- Useful for pipe and equipment support
- Compatible with standard strut fittings and accessories
- Allows modular field assembly and future adjustment
Green Painted Finish
The green painted finish provides a clean, recognizable appearance while helping protect the steel surface during normal storage, handling, and indoor service.
Painted strut is commonly used in electrical rooms, commercial facilities, industrial buildings, mechanical spaces, and other indoor installations. For outdoor, wet, chemical, or highly corrosive environments, consider a finish specifically selected for the exposure conditions.
Common Applications
Electrical Support
- Electrical conduit support
- Cable and wire support
- Junction-box mounting
- Electrical equipment framing
- Tray and raceway support
- Service-room and utility installations
Mechanical & Industrial Support
- Pipe support
- Mechanical equipment mounting
- HVAC support assemblies
- Wall-mounted support frames
- Ceiling-hung support systems
- General industrial fabrication
Compatible Strut Hardware
1-5/8" x 1-5/8" strut channel is designed to function as part of a modular support and framing system. Compatible accessories may include:
- Channel nuts and spring nuts
- Pipe and conduit clamps
- Angle brackets and corner fittings
- Flat plates and splice fittings
- Threaded rod and rod couplings
- Beam clamps
- Post bases and mounting feet
- Equipment-support brackets
- End caps and protective accessories
Confirm that all selected hardware matches the channel profile, gauge, load requirement, finish, and installation environment.
Installation Guidance
- Confirm the required channel size, gauge, finish, and slot configuration before ordering.
- Verify the total support load and spacing requirements for the installation.
- Use compatible strut nuts, brackets, clamps, fittings, and fasteners.
- Cut channel square using an appropriate saw or approved cutting method.
- Deburr cut ends before handling or assembly.
- Protect cut steel surfaces as required by the project specification or environment.
- Use appropriate anchors for concrete, masonry, steel, or other mounting surfaces.
- Support suspended installations with properly sized threaded rod and hardware.
- Do not exceed the rated capacity of the channel, fasteners, fittings, anchors, or supporting structure.
- Confirm spacing requirements for conduit, piping, cable, or equipment being supported.
- Installation should comply with applicable electrical, mechanical, structural, and building-code requirements.
20-Foot Length Handling
Twenty-foot channel is useful for long continuous support runs and can reduce the number of splice fittings required compared with shorter material.
Because of the overall length, plan for freight, unloading, storage, transportation, and jobsite access before ordering. Use appropriate handling methods to prevent bending, twisting, or surface damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is this strut channel?
This channel measures 1-5/8 inches wide by 1-5/8 inches deep, which is a standard full-depth strut-channel profile.
What gauge is this strut?
This product is manufactured from 14-gauge steel.
Is this strut slotted?
Yes. The channel includes factory slots that provide flexible mounting and attachment points along the length.
What is the advantage of a full-depth 1-5/8" channel?
The deeper profile provides more section depth and mounting space than shallow 13/16-inch channel, making it useful for a broader range of support and framing applications.
What is the advantage of slotted strut?
Slotted strut allows quicker field attachment and easier adjustment of bolts, brackets, clamps, and other hardware without drilling as many custom holes.
How long is each piece?
Each piece is supplied as one 20-foot length.
Is this strut sold by the foot?
This product is supplied in 20-foot lengths. Order quantities should be based on the total footage required and the selling-unit configuration shown on the product page.
What does green strut mean?
Green strut refers to the painted finish applied to the steel channel. The coating provides a finished appearance and helps protect the channel surface during normal indoor service and handling.
Can this strut be used outdoors?
Painted strut may not provide the same corrosion resistance as galvanized or stainless-steel channel in outdoor or corrosive environments. Confirm the required finish before installation.
Can this strut support electrical conduit?
Yes. Full-depth strut channel is commonly used to support conduit, cable, raceway, boxes, and related electrical systems when properly sized and installed.
Can this strut support pipe?
Yes. It may be used with compatible pipe clamps and support hardware when the channel, fittings, anchors, and support spacing are properly selected for the load.
What hardware works with this strut?
Compatible accessories may include channel nuts, pipe clamps, conduit clamps, brackets, splice plates, threaded rod, beam clamps, post bases, and other standard 1-5/8-inch strut-system hardware.
Is 14-gauge strut suitable for every support application?
No. Load requirements vary by application. Confirm the channel load rating, span, support spacing, fittings, anchors, and supporting structure before installation.
What is the advantage of a 20-foot length?
Twenty-foot channel can reduce the number of splices required on long support runs and may improve installation efficiency on larger projects.
Is this Buy American Act compliant?
This product is represented as Buy American Act compliant. Review the applicable manufacturer documentation when project-specific certification is required.
Is this strut UL certified?
UL certification information is available in the Haydon UL certification letter provided in the Product Resources section. Confirm the specific listing requirements for the project before installation.
