Strut channel Z and U-shaped fittings are versatile connectors designed to join strut channels at specific angles and configurations, allowing for the creation of complex, multi-directional support structures. These fittings are essential for applications that require angled connections or additional support, commonly used in electrical, mechanical, and structural installations to ensure stability and adaptability in strut channel frameworks.

How to Use Z and U-Shaped Fittings with Strut Channel

To use Z and U-shaped fittings with strut channels, first determine the type of connection you need - whether it's an angled, offset, or parallel connection. Align the Z or U-shaped fitting with the strut channels at the desired junction point, ensuring the fitting’s holes match the slots or holes in the channels. Insert bolts through the aligned holes and secure them with nuts, tightening them to create a strong, stable connection. These fittings allow you to connect strut channels in a variety of angles and configurations, enabling the construction of intricate and customized support systems. This setup is ideal for creating multi-directional frameworks, offset connections, or additional support points within a strut channel system, ensuring flexibility and strength in your installation.
