Sunbelt Marketing 100000286 Slotted Single Framing Channel 10 Ft

Product Description

The SUNBELT MARKETING 100000286 is a slotted single metal framing channel used in structural support applications across mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installations. Formed from ASTM A653 cold formed low carbon steel at 12 gauge thickness, this channel measures 1-5/8 inches wide by 1-5/8 inches deep and runs 10 feet in length. The pre-galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suited to both indoor and outdoor environments. Slots measure 9/16 inches by 7/8 inches and are evenly spaced along the full channel length, allowing hardware and fittings to be positioned and adjusted without drilling. This channel ships domestically and is manufactured to standard strut framing dimensions.

Slotted single metal framing channel is a foundational component in pipe support systems, conduit routing, equipment mounting, and HVAC duct support frameworks. It is used in commercial and industrial construction as well as residential mechanical rooms. Electricians use it to support conduit runs and panel assemblies. Plumbers and pipefitters use it for pipe hangers and valve supports. HVAC technicians use it for equipment bases, duct hangers, and fan coil support frames. The 10-foot length is the most common field-cut starting size, compatible with standard strut fittings, nuts, and clamps available from multiple suppliers.

Key Features

• ASTM A653 cold formed low carbon steel construction for consistent dimensional tolerance
• Pre-galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in damp or outdoor-adjacent environments
• 9/16 inches by 7/8 inches slots allow tool-free hardware positioning along the full length
• 1-5/8 inches by 1-5/8 inches cross-section meets standard strut framing dimensions
• 12 gauge thickness provides structural rigidity for suspended and surface-mounted loads
• Domestic production per supplier data

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment for slotted single strut framing systems using 1-5/8 inches by 1-5/8 inches channel hardware, including standard strut nuts, clamps, hangers, and pipe supports conforming to that channel size.

Installation Notes

Licensed electricians, plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically install metal framing channel as part of permitted support systems. Cut channel to length using a metal-cutting saw or angle grinder with appropriate PPE; deburr all cut ends before assembly. Follow applicable codes including NEC, IPC, IFGC, and local structural requirements for hanger spacing and load ratings. Wear gloves when handling cut channel — sheared edges are sharp.
