P1100T - 1-5/8" x 1-5/8", 14 Gage, Slotted

Unistrut's P1100T is the original metal framing strut channel and has been used in countless applications for over 90 years.  Commonly known as 14 Gauge Standard or Deep Slotted Channel, it is the global standard for strut metal framing.

This 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

Product dimensions are 1 5/8" wide x 1 5/8" tall x 14 ga. thick. Slots are sized for a 1/2" Threaded Rod or Fastener.

Our P1100T 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).
