Metal Framing Channels — Overview

New Trivalent GoldGalv® Finish Is RoHS CompliantThomas & Betts is proud to introduce the new and improved Trivalent GoldGalv® finish. GoldGalv® finish is a combination of .5 mils electro-plated Zinc and a gold Trivalent Chromium finish.

GoldGalv®

The standard GoldGalv® finish is made up of a multi-step electrogalvanizing and Zinc Dichromate process. The Trivalent Chromium finish is applied over the Zinc, producing a chemically bonded non-porous barrier for protection from moisture and air. The .5 mil electro-plated Zinc and gold Trivalent Chromium finish provide all of the features and protection of Hexavalent Chromium without the use of the chemical.

Metal Framing Channels — Overview

Other FinishesGreen or White Urethane Powder Coated (Suffix GR or WH)

Urethane powder resins are applied electrostatically to the steel after fabrication. Once the material is completely covered with the powder-form urethane, it proceeds through a 400˚ F baking process for ten minutes, creating a chemical bond. This results in a minimum of 1.5 mil thickness of urethane coating, providing excellent resistance to chipping or peeling.

Pregalvanized (Suffix PG)

A Zinc coating is applied by hot-dipping the steel coil at the mill prior to fabrication. Once the material is worked by roll-forming, cutting or punching, minimal protection is provided for raw edges. This weakness is typical with precoated material and affects the channel section around holes, extreme ends and the edges of the “U” shape lips. Superstrut® pregalvanized material is in conformance with ASTM A-525/G-90 specification standards, representing 0.90 ounces of Zinc per square foot of steel. This finish is often referred to as “hot-dipped mill galvanized” or “mill galvanized”.

Hot-Dipped Galvanized (Suffix HDG)

The material is Zinc coated after fabrication, providing total product protection on all surfaces. The fabricated channel or fitting is suspended and then dipped into tanks of hot Zinc for a prolonged period, creating a coherent bond. The result is superior corrosion resistance as compared to pregalvanized material. Hot-dipped galvanizing is not recommended for threaded products, considering the Zinc coating thickness will often disrupt the threads. Superstrut® hot-dipped galvanized is in conformance with ASTM Specifications A-123 (formerly A-386) and A-153. Superstrut® channels maintain a minimum 1.5 ounces of Zinc per square foot of steel or 2.5 mils (ASTM A-123, Thickness Grade 65). This finish is also referred to as “hot-dipped galvanized after fabrication”.

PVC Coated (Suffix PVC)

A Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) plastic coating is fused to the channel, fitting or accessory after fabrication by immersing the part in fluidized PVC tanks. The fused-melt mixed powder PVC coating thickness is 15 mils (.015" ) plus or minus five mils. PVC material is a thermoplastic and will soften in high temperatures. An inherent weakness with PVC coatings occurs when field alterations are applied, such as cutting or drilling. These acts disrupt the sealed PVC product and warrant field touch-up. Thomas & Betts cannot be held responsible for field-altered PVC coated products.

Copper Plated (“T” inserted as the second digit of the part number; Example: CTL-710-2)

Plain steel proceeds through a series of rinse tanks to clean the material surface. Once cleaned, the fabricated part is etched by dipping into an acid pickle bath to prepare the surface for adhesion. Copper is electrically applied by submerging in a copper bath. To seal the finish, the product continues to a sealer tank and is then dried by forced hot air.

Black (Suffix B)

A black finish is raw steel with only a light oil finish as supplied by the steel manufacturer. There is no protection against red rust.

Stainless Steel (Suffix SS)

Superstrut® channel is supplied in type 304 stainless steel when required. Type 316 stainless steel may be available upon request.

Aluminum (Suffix AL)

Superstrut® channel and hardware are available in aluminum.

Channels

Product Code SampleProduct Identification Code Selection and Example

When specifying or ordering a Thomas & Betts channel product from the catalog, specify the product series models number as shown, select gauge, if needed specify hole designation such as HS for half-slot, then length and finally the material finish suffix shown to the right such as SS for stainless steel.

Example: To specify a 12 gauge, 15⁄8" channel with a half slot in stainless steel, 10', your code designation would be A-1200-HS-10-SS.

Note: If no other finish is selected, our standard GoldGalv® finish will be provided.

Application Instructions

Parts drawings illustrate a typical use for the fitting, and in many cases other uses for the part are appropriate.

Design Data

Ratings vary when used with 12 or 14 gauge channel and are shown for each channel material.

GoldGalv® hardware finish is standard for all Superstrut®

products. This is a multi-process finish of electro-plated zinc, followed by gold-colored zinc dichromate to give excellent corrosion resistance and a superior paint base. See page 2 for complete description of the GoldGalv® hardware finish. GoldGalv® hardware will be furnished if no other finish is specified.

Nuts and Bolts Required

Unless otherwise noted, nuts and bolts for use with fittings and brackets should be ordered separately.

The standard bolt for the 9⁄16" hole is a 1⁄2" hex head cap screw 15⁄16" long. The 15⁄16" length may be used with all series channel.

Modular Metal Framing — Overview

Kindorf® Channel’s 11⁄2" is Much More than a Cross-Section Dimension

The 11⁄2" with Kindorf® channel is truly a modular dimension. The channel height, width and prepunched hole spacings are all 11⁄2". The angle fittings and the bolt holes in the angle fittings are all 11⁄2" dimensions. Scribe marks are located at 11⁄2" intervals to mark the midpoint between holes and every 6" on the side for easy measurement.

Jobsite adaptability and structural integrity are the key factors in making strut channel an economical solution to metal framing needs. Kindorf® channel, with its 11⁄2" modular dimensions, enables the installer to do more work with fewer pieces and less labor dollars.

Here’s What the Modular Dimension Can Do for You

Using a 15⁄8" channel with hole spacings on 17⁄8" centers requires numerous fittings and, in many cases, limits the joint fastening to the open side of the channel. Field drilling and welding, plus the need for extra fittings, become the rule rather than the exception. With constant 11⁄2" dimensions throughout the system, many structural joints can be made with a minimum of fittings. Consider the following:

1. The Entire Section Can be Used.

You are not limited to using only the open-slot side because holes line up on channel and fittings. Using the scribe marks ensures the fittings will work and a straight cut is made.

2. Considerable Field Drilling and Welding Eliminated.

The holes are already there and they are usable. Back-to-back, side-to-back, side-to-side — all combinations that can be made using B-995 Kindorf® channel.

3. Field Cutting and Layout Made Simple.

8 scribe marks = 1 ft. Simply count the marks and cut. Position of holes ensures balanced support for trapezes on every piece, thus keeping waste to an absolute minimum.

4. Modular Fittings Fasten to Bolt Side or Slot Side — Unique Stud Nut.

Kindorf® framing fittings are engineered for versatile use — to meet the greatest number of framing combinations with maximum rigidity and security. Fittings may be fastened to the channel on either the bolt-hole side or the slot side.

The matching 11⁄2" dimensions of channel bolt holes and fitting bolt holes provide a fast alignment and quick bolting. Fastening on the slot side provides infinite placement of the nut to match bolting requirements. Either way results in simple “building block” erection and permits multiple application of fittings. With the B-911SN Stud Nut, blind fastening of angles and fixtures is eliminated.

15⁄8" Strut7⁄8" holes cause misalignment.

Fastening on bolt-hole side.

Clamping nut or hex head nut may be used for attachment and security of

fittings to either side of channel.
