Can Unistrut be used outside?
The steel strip is uncoiled, fed through a continuous molten zinc coater, and then recoiled, producing clean, fluxed, Zinc steel. This finish is a time tested, well-proven coating for outdoor and indoor applications. If needing a more severe corrosive finish Hot Dipped Galvanized will be a great alternative.

How long will galvanized strut last outside?
about 70 years
Galvanized steel intended for prolonged outdoor use should be hot-dipped galvanized steel; which commonly lasts for about 70 years in many different environments.
Why is Unistrut green?
Just as important, Perma-Green III is the result of an environmentally neutral process that virtually eliminates the toxic metals commonly found in competitive paint-based finishes. Unistrut Perma-Green III is a factory applied, electro-deposition acrylic coating with superior rust protection and fade-resistance.
How often does Unistrut need to be supported?
Support is required as specified for the conduit – unistrut does not make any difference in the required support spacing. For EMT, the required support is within 3 feet of each termination, and a minimum of every 10 feet.
What is column loading Unistrut?
Columns are structural members that are loaded parallel to their length. Most columns are vertical and are used to carry loads from a higher level to a lower level. However any member subjected to compression loads, such as a diagonal or prop brace, is a column.
What is the yield strength of Unistrut?
Unistrut uses ASTM A1011 SS GR33 steel strip for forming channels. This material has virgin yield strength of 33,000 psi.
Can Unistrut be painted?
Pre-Galvanized and Hot Dip Galvanized Unistrut are ideal for applications requiring corrosion resistance. Although the factory finish is perfectly acceptable for most applications, there are also situations where painting with a custom color is needed to add a finishing touch.
How do I mount a Unistrut?
The nut pictured features a spring, but any Unistrut nut will work. Turn the nut 90 degrees clockwise and align the grooves in the nut with the inturned edges of the channel. Place a fitting over the nut and insert the bolt through the fitting and into the nut. This will hold the nut and fitting in place.
Can Unistrut be welded?
Unistrut connections provide the strength of welding but can easily be taken apart.

What is strut channel used for?
Strut channel is a very versatile component of a support system designed for application in construction, electrical and HVAC industries. Strut channel is frequently used to support, suspend and mount metal structures, it’s a crucial part of metal framing system that doesn’t need welding, drilling or specialised tools.
Where is Unistrut used?
Unistrut Channel is a standardized formed structural system used in the construction and electrical industries for light structural support, often for supporting wiring, plumbing, or mechanical components such as air conditioning or ventilation systems.
What is slotted channel used for?
They’re often used to provide support for wiring and plumbing, but they’re also used to support mechanical components for larger appliances. Channel support systems are often put together using U-shaped slotted steel channels that are combined with fittings.
