Strut - (Hot Dipped Galvanised)

Strut channels are three-sided structural supports that are primarily used in the construction industry. The side panels of a strut channel have lips that face inward to provide strength and support. A slotted channel has holes or slots to the top of the strut for more attachment flexibility. In HVAC systems, "strut" or "channel" refers to a solid or slotted metal channel, commonly called "strut channel," which is used to support and suspend various components like ductwork, pipes & HVAC equipment.
Strut provides a sturdy framework for the entire system whilst allowing for easy installation and maintenance. It essentially acts as a mounting rail to hold the HVAC system in place throughout a building.
Key points about strut in HVAC:
Function: Primarily used to securely mount and support HVAC components like ducts, pipes, and equipment.
Versatility: The slotted design of the strut channel allows for easy attachment of brackets, hangers, and other accessories to customize the support system.

Installation benefits: Strut systems are often preferred due to their ease of installation, requiring minimal welding or specialised tools.
