12 Gauge Solid Strut Channel, Back-to-Back

Unistrut's P1001, often known as 12 Gauge Standard or Deep Back-to-Back Strut Channel, is commonly used for trapeze supports, seismic bracing, ceiling grids, pipe, conduit, duct and cable tray supports, racks, and other general framing. For application examples, refer to our Application Showcase. 

The P1001AW is OPA approved for seismic bracing and the P1001 will be included in our upcoming OPM. It is also UL Listed and CSA Listed for use as a Strut-Type Channel Raceway.

Product dimensions are 1 5/8" wide x 3 1/4" tall x 12 ga. thick, back to back. Punched holes are also available for ease of installation.

Our P1001 is available in Pre-Galvanized (PG), Unistrut Defender (DF), Hot-Dip Galvanized (HG), Plain (PL), Green (GR), Zinc Dichromate (ZD), Stainless Steel (SS or ST) and Aluminum (EA).
