Thomas Betts AP-232 Strut Channel Post Base Fitting

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS AP-232 is a channel and strut post base fitting designed for use with joining metal framing channel and strut systems. Constructed from steel with a gold galvanized finish, this post base fitting provides a secure anchoring point where strut channel meets a floor or structural base surface. It is a standard accessory in metal framing assemblies used across electrical, mechanical, and general construction applications. Licensed electricians, mechanical contractors, and structural installers typically specify this fitting when building out strut support frameworks that require a stable post base connection.

This fitting is intended for use in metal framing channel and strut assemblies where a post base connection is required. It suits both residential and commercial construction environments, including electrical panel supports, equipment mounting frameworks, pipe and conduit support structures, and similar applications. The gold galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for standard interior and light commercial installations. This part carries cross-reference part numbers P2027A from Unistrut and B280 from B-Line, making it a recognized equivalent in multi-brand project specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians or mechanical contractors as part of a strut channel support framework. De-energize any nearby electrical circuits before beginning work in the installation area. Fastener selection and torque requirements should follow the project specifications and applicable building codes. Verify that the mounting surface is structurally adequate to support the intended load before securing the post base fitting.
