Constructed from steel with a gold galvanized finish, this fitting serves as a structural connector in strut channel assemblies. It is used to join sections of metal framing channel, providing a flat, stable connection point in electrical, mechanical, and general construction support systems. Electricians, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors regularly use flat plate fittings when building out unistrut-style support frameworks for conduit, cable tray, piping, and equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for both residential and commercial applications where metal framing channel systems are used to support electrical conduit runs, plumbing lines, HVAC ductwork hangers, and similar overhead or wall-mounted assemblies. It is particularly common in industrial and commercial construction environments where strut channel grids require flat joiner plates to extend runs or reinforce connection points. Cross-referenced part numbers include Unistrut P1028 and B-Line B132.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlat plate fitting profile for joining and extending metal framing channel runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction provides structural rigidity in support system assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGold galvanized finish offers corrosion resistance for interior and protected exterior applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard strut channel widths used across major fitting systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCross-references to Unistrut P1028 and B-Line B132 for easy replacement sourcing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with joining metal framing channel and strut.

De-energize any nearby electrical equipment before working in the installation area. Hardware such as channel nuts and bolts appropriate for the strut profile should be used to secure the fitting. Follow applicable local building codes and NEC guidelines for support spacing and fastening requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccessory Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flat Plate Fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFor Use With\u003c\/strong\u003e: Joining Metal Framing Channel\/Strut\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gold Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: THOMAS BETTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: AB253-TB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"THOMAS \u0026 BETTS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51544586944818,"sku":"AB253-TB","price":64.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3f4796b77aa47a1a12b977f3813281b9.jpg?v=1785930739","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/thomas-betts-ab253-tb-strut-channel-flat-plate-fitting","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
