Description
13/16" x 1-5/8" Slotted Strut Channel – Galvanized, 14 Gauge x 10'
13/16" x 1-5/8" slotted strut channel in galvanized 14-gauge steel provides a compact, versatile support and framing solution for electrical, mechanical, industrial, and general construction applications. The shallow 13/16-inch profile is useful where reduced mounting depth is preferred, while the slotted design allows flexible attachment and field adjustment.
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 work, and confined jobsite areas.

What Is Shallow Strut Channel?
Shallow strut channel uses a lower-profile section than standard 1-5/8" deep channel. The 13/16-inch depth is useful where space is limited, a reduced standoff is desired, or a compact mounting system is preferred.
It remains part of a modular strut system and can be used with compatible channel nuts, conduit clamps, pipe clamps, brackets, fittings, threaded rod, and other strut accessories.
10-Foot vs. 20-Foot Strut Channel
10-Foot Length
- Easier to transport and unload
- More convenient for indoor handling
- Useful in confined mechanical and electrical spaces
- 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
Galvanized vs. Green Painted Strut
Galvanized Strut
- Zinc-coated steel surface
- Improved corrosion resistance compared with standard painted channel
- Useful in many commercial and industrial environments
- Provides a durable metallic finish
- Common where moisture resistance is an important consideration
Green Painted Strut
- Painted surface finish
- Common for dry indoor electrical and mechanical installations
- Clean, recognizable appearance
- Suitable for many general-purpose applications
- Typically provides less corrosion protection than galvanized channel
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
- 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 framing
- 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 function as part of a modular 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
- 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 13/16" x 1-5/8" 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 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, 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 galvanized 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, wall racks, and localized support assemblies.

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.
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, and confined installation areas.
What is the advantage of shallow strut?
Shallow strut provides a lower-profile support system where reduced mounting depth or limited installation space is important.
What is the advantage of galvanized strut?
The galvanized finish provides improved 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.
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 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, and other standard strut-system hardware designed for the selected 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.
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 your project before installation.
