There are many sizes of Unistrut that you can choose from, depending on your needs. You may need to cut the piece to fit the exact length of the installation or you may require an unorthodox size of the channel. Unistrut sizes are typically sold in bundles of either the 20- or 50-foot range. If you require a shorter length, the majority of distributors charge for the full 20 feet of length for the channels. If your project requires a shorter length or a longer one, you’ll need to find a manufacturer which offers this Unistrut size.
If you require a specific size of Unistrut, you must contact the local distributor. Numerous Unistrut companies will provide customers with a catalog where you can look at various sizes and styles. The catalogs are usually accessible in Adobe format and will aid you in finding the best product for your needs. They also provide additional information and specifications for their products. If you’re not sure of the size of Unistruts you need, you can download a copy of the sample catalog from a Unistrut producer.
Unistrut sizes also vary by type of product. Based on the application you are using the best choice is to choose the length of Unistrut that matches your requirements. The length of the Unistrut will affect the capacity to carry the weight of the structure. If you are looking for the length to be greater than the length of a beam-column, then you must choose a Unistrut P1000. This is the largest and most well-known kind and is widely available. Its slim profile and low weight capacity make it the best choice for structural applications.
When purchasing Unistrut channels, you can select between crimpled and welded frames. The galvanized frame with crimples has an exterior width of 982mm and is the most affordable and simple option. The second layer is a 41×41 toes-up Unistrut. The overall dimensions of the structure are 1-5/8″ x 3-1/4″. It is also possible to select a welded and non-welded frame for the Unistrut.
If you’re not sure which size to choose, you can refer to the Unistrut Engineering Catalog for more information. The catalog also provides instructions on how to calculate the weight required for your building. For a nutted design the bolted-up nut serves the same function as the torn nut. The threaded end of the nut is able to grip the edges that are turned inwards of the channel. If you’re using a hex-head bolt, make sure that it is fitted into the spring ring.
If you’re uncertain of the correct size for your project then think about the material and weight. Then, you’ll be able to alter the length of your Unistrut. If you have a large construction, you might have to make use of one channel to carry a load. If you’re not certain which to pick, think about the possibility of combining two. You’ll require at least three of these according to the type of mounting.
