Thomas Betts A1202HS 10PG Half Slot Framing Channel Strut

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS A1202HS 10PG is a half slot framing channel strut fabricated from 12-gauge pre-galvanized strip steel. It measures 10 feet long, 1-5/8 inches wide, and 1-5/8 inches high, with a wall thickness of 0.105 inches. This strut channel is used to support pipe, conduit, cable tray, mechanical equipment, and structural assemblies in a wide range of commercial and industrial installations. Electricians, plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of strut as part of unistrut-style support systems. The pre-galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and moderate-exposure environments.

This framing channel is suited for commercial and industrial applications where a rigid, load-bearing support rail is required. Typical uses include supporting electrical conduit runs, plumbing pipe hangers, HVAC ductwork, and mechanical equipment mounts. The half slot pattern reduces material weight compared to a standard slotted channel while still accepting standard strut fittings, nuts, and hardware. It is commonly installed in mechanical rooms, above dropped ceilings, along walls, and in structural steel frameworks.

Key Features

• 12-gauge strip steel construction for rigid, load-bearing performance
• Pre-galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in indoor and moderate-exposure environments
• Half slot pattern accepts standard strut fittings and hardware
• 0.105-inch wall thickness for consistent structural integrity
• 1-5/8 inches wide by 1-5/8 inches high channel profile, standard unistrut sizing
• Full 10-foot length minimizes field splicing on longer runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit framing channel for use with strut fittings, clamps, and hardware conforming to the 1-5/8 inch by 1-5/8 inch channel profile specification.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians, pipefitters, or mechanical contractors in accordance with applicable building and mechanical codes. Cut strut to length using a metal-cutting saw or angle grinder, and deburr cut ends before handling. Secure channel to structural members using appropriate anchors, beam clamps, or welded connections rated for the intended load. Always verify that the support assembly and fastener selection are adequate for the combined dead and live loads before placing equipment into service.
