Thomas Betts A-597 Strut Channel Mounting Clamp 800 Lb

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS A-597 is a steel channel mounting clamp designed for use with Type A strut channels. It provides a secure, load-rated connection point for attaching channel runs to structural surfaces or other channel sections. Finished in gold galvanized coating, the A-597 resists corrosion in demanding installation environments. With a rated load capacity of 800 pounds, it is suited for heavy-duty support applications in electrical, mechanical, and plumbing systems. Licensed electricians and pipefitters are the primary installers of this hardware in commercial and industrial construction.

The A-597 is used in applications where Type A strut channel must be mounted, braced, or interconnected. It is commonly installed in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and utility spaces where channel support systems carry conduit, cable tray, pipe, or HVAC components. The gold galvanized finish makes it appropriate for moderately corrosive environments. This clamp is cross-referenced as Unistrut part number P17965 and B-Line part number B-314, making it a recognized equivalent in multi-vendor bid and spec projects.
