Description
1-5/8" x 1-5/8" Slotted Strut Channel – Green, 14 Gauge x 10'
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 works with a broad range of modular strut fittings, clamps, and support hardware.
This product is supplied in 10-foot lengths and is commonly used to support conduit, cable, piping, equipment, fixtures, and modular framing assemblies. The shorter length is easier to transport, store, and maneuver in electrical rooms, mechanical spaces, remodel projects, and confined jobsite areas.

What Is Full-Depth Strut Channel?
Full-depth 1-5/8" x 1-5/8" strut is one of the most commonly used profiles in modular framing and support systems. Compared with shallow 13/16-inch channel, the deeper section provides additional depth, rigidity, and room for support hardware and framing assemblies.
Its standard dimensions make it compatible with a wide range of channel nuts, clamps, brackets, splice fittings, threaded-rod supports, post bases, and other strut-system accessories.
10-Foot vs. 20-Foot Strut Channel
10-Foot Length
- Easier to transport and unload
- More convenient for indoor handling
- Useful in mechanical and electrical rooms
- Well suited for service, remodel, and smaller projects
- Can reduce cutting and leftover material on shorter runs
20-Foot Length
- Better suited for longer continuous support runs
- Can reduce the number of splice fittings required
- Common on larger commercial and industrial projects
- Requires additional transportation and handling planning
- Useful where long uninterrupted framing members are preferred
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 additional mounting space for hardware
- 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-depth channel 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
- Useful where custom mounting locations are preferred
- Common in fabrication and structural 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 dry indoor installations. For outdoor, wet, chemical, or highly corrosive environments, consider a finish specifically selected for those conditions.
Common Applications
Electrical Support
- Electrical conduit support
- Cable and wire support
- Junction-box mounting
- Electrical equipment framing
- Tray and raceway support
- Utility and service-room 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 1-5/8" x 1-5/8" full-depth channel profile before ordering.
- Verify the required gauge, finish, slot configuration, and overall length.
- Confirm 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, fittings, fasteners, 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.
Why Choose a 10-Foot Length?
Ten-foot full-depth strut is convenient for projects where transporting or maneuvering 20-foot material is impractical. The shorter length fits more easily into service vehicles, elevators, mechanical rooms, electrical spaces, and confined jobsite areas.
It can also reduce unnecessary cutting and scrap on installations consisting primarily of shorter support frames, equipment stands, wall racks, and localized support assemblies.

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.
How long is each piece?
Each piece is supplied as one 10-foot length.
Is this product sold by the foot?
No. This product is sold by the complete 10-foot length.
What is the advantage of a 10-foot strut length?
Ten-foot channel is easier to transport, store, handle, and maneuver than 20-foot material and is useful for service work, smaller projects, equipment supports, and confined installation areas.
What is the advantage of full-depth strut?
The 1-5/8-inch depth provides more section depth and mounting space than shallow 13/16-inch channel, making it useful for a broader range of electrical, mechanical, 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 requiring as much field drilling.
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 steel during normal indoor storage, handling, and service.
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 electrical conduit, cable, raceway, boxes, and related 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, conduit clamps, pipe 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.
