P1003-No-Dimensions.png

Unistrut's P1003 is the original metal framing strut channel and has been used in countless applications for over 90 years.  Commonly known as 12 gauge standard or deep strut channel, it is the global standard for strut metal framing.

This 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 a higher load capacity over a traditional back to back combination.

Product dimensions are 1 5/8" wide x 1 5/8" tall x 12 ga. thick, with a 4 1/32' wide plate. Punched holes are also available for ease of installation.

Our P1003 is available in the following finishes: 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).
