Description
13/16" x 1-5/8" Slotted Strut Channel – Green, 14 Gauge x 20'
13/16" x 1-5/8" slotted strut channel in green-painted 14-gauge steel provides a versatile framing and support solution for electrical, mechanical, industrial, and general construction applications. The shallow 13/16-inch profile is useful where a lower-profile support system is preferred while still providing the flexibility of standard strut-channel hardware and fittings.
This product is supplied in 20-foot lengths and is commonly used to support conduit, cable, piping, equipment, fixtures, and other building-service components. Select the required quantity based on the total footage needed for your project.

What Is Shallow Strut Channel?
Shallow strut channel uses a lower-profile section than standard 1-5/8" deep channel, making it useful in applications where space is limited or a reduced standoff is preferred.
The 13/16-inch depth provides a compact mounting platform while still allowing the use of compatible strut nuts, brackets, clamps, and fittings for a wide range of support and framing applications.
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 structural and fabrication applications
- May be selected where slot spacing is not desirable
Why Choose 14-Gauge Strut?
Lightweight Handling
- Easier to move and position than heavier-gauge channel
- Useful for many general support applications
- Can reduce handling effort on larger installations
- Well suited for electrical and light mechanical work
Versatile Support
- Supports conduit and cable-management systems
- Useful for light-duty framing and equipment mounting
- Compatible with standard strut accessories
- Allows modular field assembly and adjustment
Green Painted Finish
The green painted finish provides a clean, finished appearance while helping protect the steel surface during normal storage, handling, and indoor service.
Painted strut is commonly used in electrical, commercial, industrial, and building-service installations where a finished channel appearance is desired. Confirm environmental exposure and corrosion requirements before selecting painted channel for outdoor or highly corrosive locations.
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, and fittings.
- 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 fasteners and anchors for the mounting surface.
- Support suspended installations with properly sized threaded rod and hardware.
- Do not exceed the load capacity of the channel, fasteners, fittings, 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 strut channel reduces the number of splices required on long support runs and can improve installation efficiency on larger projects.
Because of the overall length, plan for transportation, storage, unloading, and jobsite access before ordering. Use appropriate handling practices to prevent bending, twisting, or surface damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is this strut channel?
This channel has a 13/16-inch depth and a 1-5/8-inch width, 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 slotted strut?
Slotted strut allows quicker field attachment and easier adjustment of bolts, brackets, clamps, and other hardware without drilling as many custom mounting holes.
What is shallow strut used for?
Shallow strut is commonly used where a lower-profile support system is desired, including electrical conduit support, wall-mounted assemblies, equipment framing, and light mechanical installations.
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 for the project 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. It 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 be used to support electrical conduit?
Yes. Strut channel is commonly used to support electrical conduit, cable, raceway, 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, 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 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.
