Empire 8100Z0050 Spring Strut Nut Electro Galvanized

Product Description

The EMPIRE 8100Z0050 is a spring strut nut designed for use with strut channel framing systems. It provides a fast, tool-free method of attaching hanger rods or other accessories to open strut channel without requiring access to the back of the channel. The spring-loaded design allows the nut to be inserted at any point along the channel, then rotated 90 degrees to lock in place. Constructed from carbon steel with an electro galvanized finish, this strut nut resists corrosion in typical mechanical and electrical installation environments. Electricians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors regularly use spring strut nuts when building pipe supports, conduit racks, and equipment hangers.

This strut nut is suited for residential and commercial mechanical, plumbing, and electrical installations where strut channel is used as a primary support structure. Common applications include supporting conduit runs, pipe hangers, HVAC duct support systems, and equipment mounting frames. The electro galvanized finish makes it appropriate for indoor and moderately protected outdoor installations.

Key Features

• Spring-loaded design allows single-handed insertion and 90-degree locking into strut channel
• Carbon steel construction provides solid load-bearing capability for hanger rod and accessory attachment
• Electro galvanized finish adds corrosion resistance for typical indoor mechanical environments
• Compatible with standard hanger rods and strut channel accessories
• Compact form factor fits within standard strut channel rail without special tooling

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard strut channel systems for attaching hanger rods or other strut accessories. Verify channel width and rod thread size match before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians, plumbers, or mechanical contractors working to NEC, IPC, or IFGC guidelines depending on the application. De-energize any electrical systems and shut off fluid systems before working in close proximity to live circuits or pressurized pipe. Insert the nut into the open face of the strut channel and rotate to engage the spring lock before threading the hanger rod or accessory. Do not exceed the load rating of the strut channel assembly.
