Value Collection AC1.5X.5X.12X80 Channel Iron 80 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION AC1.5X.5X.12X80 is a low carbon steel channel iron cut to 80 inches in length. This structural channel section measures 1.5 inches wide and 0.5 inches tall with a uniform wall thickness of 0.125 inches. It is used as a rigid support member in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installations where a lightweight, weldable steel channel is needed. HVAC techs, plumbers, electricians, and general contractors reach for this profile when fabricating equipment supports, pipe hangers, conduit brackets, and equipment rails. The low carbon steel construction allows for cutting, drilling, and welding in the field without specialized equipment.

This channel iron is suited for light structural and support applications in both residential and commercial settings. Common uses include fabricating custom equipment mounting frames, pipe support brackets, duct bracing, and electrical enclosure supports. At 80 inches, the bar provides enough length for most single-span support runs or can be cut to shorter lengths as the job requires. It ships as a single piece and is ready to work with standard metalworking tools available in most trade shops.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, pipefitters, electricians, or general contractors depending on the application. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting or grinding steel. Secure all cut edges to remove burrs before assembly. Consult applicable building and mechanical codes, including IPC and NEC guidelines, for minimum support spacing and fastener requirements in your jurisdiction.
