Description
13/16" x 1-5/8" Slotted Strut Channel – Green, 14 Gauge x 10'
13/16" x 1-5/8" slotted strut channel in green-painted 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 factory slots allow 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, handle, store, and maneuver in mechanical rooms, electrical spaces, remodel work, and confined installations.

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 more 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
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 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
- 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
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, mechanical spaces, commercial buildings, and general-purpose indoor installations. For outdoor, wet, chemical, or highly corrosive environments, consider a finish specifically selected for those exposure 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 & 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 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 strut channel is especially convenient for projects where handling full 20-foot material is impractical. The shorter length fits more easily into service vehicles, elevators, mechanical rooms, warehouses, and confined jobsite areas.
It can also reduce unnecessary cutting and scrap when the support layout consists primarily of shorter framing sections.

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 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. 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.
