P1001C - 1-5/8" x 3-1/4", 12 Gage Channel, Double Combination

Unistrut's P1001C (double combination), often known as 12 gauge standard or deep back-to-back strut channel, is commonly used for electrical supports, mechanical supports, pipe, conduit, duct and cable tray supports, and other general framing. For application examples, refer to our Application Showcase

This channel is ideal for providing similar loading capacity of a traditional back to back channel but provides multiple plane connection points versus on a single plane only.

Product dimensions are 1 5/8" Long x 3 1/4" Wide x 12 ga. thick; Side to Side. 

Our P1001C is available in the following finishes: Pre-Galvanized (PG), Hot-Dip Galvanized (HG), Plain (PL), Green (GR), Zinc Dichromate (ZD) and Stainless Steel (SS & ST).
