P4101T - 1-5/8" x 1-5/8", 14 Gage Back-to-Back, Slotted

P4101T-No-Dimensions.png

Unistrut's P4101T (back-to-back slotted) has slots between the two profiles on the welded side. This slotted option is popular because it’s adjustable yet has modest load capacity loss versus the solid version. It has 85% of the capacity of the solid version of the profile.

This channel is commonly used for trapeze supports, anchoring to concrete, 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; back-to-back with slots. The slots are 2" wide x 11/16" long, 3" on center and sized for use with 5/8" threaded rod or fasteners.

Our P4101T is available in the following finishes:  Pre-Galvanized (PG), Hot-Dip Galvanized (HG), Plain (PL), Green (GR), Zinc Dichromate (ZD) and Stainless Steel (SS).
