What Is Shallow Strut Channel?
Shallow strut channel uses a lower-profile section than standard 1-5/8" deep strut. The 13/16-inch depth makes it useful where space is limited, a lower standoff is desired, or a compact support system is preferred.
Despite its reduced depth, the channel remains part of a modular support system and can be used with compatible channel nuts, clamps, brackets, fittings, and other strut accessories.
Galvanized vs. Green Painted Strut
Galvanized Strut
- Zinc-coated surface for improved corrosion resistance
- Well suited for many commercial and industrial environments
- Provides better moisture resistance than standard painted channel
- Useful where a metallic finish is preferred
- Suitable for a broad range of indoor and protected applications
Green Painted Strut
- Painted finish for a clean, recognizable appearance
- Common in indoor electrical and mechanical installations
- Suitable for dry, general-purpose environments
- Often selected where painted channel is standard on the project
- Lower corrosion resistance than many galvanized finishes
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 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
- Useful for many general-purpose support applications
- Well suited for electrical and light mechanical work
Versatile Support
- Supports conduit and cable-management systems
- Useful for light mechanical and equipment supports
- Compatible with common strut accessories
- Allows modular field assembly and adjustment
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 & General Framing
- Pipe support
- Light mechanical framing
- Equipment mounting
- Wall-mounted support assemblies
- Ceiling-hung support systems
- General industrial fabrication
Compatible Strut Hardware
Slotted strut channel is designed to work as part of a modular framing system. Depending on the application, 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
- 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 installation 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 channel lengths.
Because of the overall length, plan for freight, unloading, storage, transportation, and jobsite access before ordering. Use proper handling methods to prevent bending, twisting, or damage to the galvanized surface.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is this strut channel?
This channel measures 13/16 inches deep by 1-5/8 inches wide, making it a shallow-profile strut channel.
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 shallow strut?
Shallow strut provides a lower-profile support system for applications where space is limited or a reduced mounting depth is preferred.
What is the advantage of galvanized strut?
The galvanized finish provides additional corrosion resistance compared with standard painted steel and is useful in many commercial, industrial, and moisture-prone environments.
Is galvanized strut better than green painted strut?
It depends on the environment. Galvanized channel generally provides greater corrosion resistance, while green painted strut is commonly selected for dry indoor installations and projects where a painted finish is preferred.
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.
Can this strut be used outdoors?
Galvanized strut provides improved corrosion resistance compared with painted channel, but suitability for outdoor, wet, chemical, coastal, or highly corrosive environments depends on the exact galvanizing process and project requirements.
Can this strut support electrical conduit?
Yes. Shallow 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 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, and other standard strut-system hardware designed for the selected channel profile.
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 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 your project before installation.
