UNISTRUT P4101 1-5/8" x 1-5/8" Double Channel, 14 Gauge
Sku:
P4101
UOM: LGT
Product Details
Unistrut's P4101 (back-to-back solid) channel is our 14 gauge channel that is commonly used for trapeze supports, seismic bracing, ceiling grids, pipe, conduit, duct and cable tray supports, racks, and other general framing. For application examples, refer to our Application Showcase.
A 14 gage product is appealing to users who feel the 12 gauge alternatives provide an excess loading capacities than what is required from the design. It is also UL listed and CSA listed for use as a strut-type channel raceway.
Product dimensions are 1 5/8" wide x 1 5/8" tall x 14 ga. thick, solid. Punched holes are also available for ease of installation.
Our P4101 is available in the following finishes: Pre-Galvanized (PG), Unistrut Defender (DF), Hot-Dip Galvanized (HG), Plain (PL), Green (GR), Stainless Steel (SS or ST) and Aluminum (EA).
Unistrut Buffalo is a division of Eberl Iron Works, Inc.

MATERIAL
Unistrut channels are accurately and carefully cold formed to size from low-carbon strip steel.
All spot-welded combination members, except P1001T, are welded 3" (76 mm) maximum on center.
STEEL: PLAIN
12 Ga. (2.7 mm), 14 Ga.(1.9 mm) and
16 Ga. (1.5 mm) ASTM A1011 SS GR 33
STEEL: PRE-GALVANIZED
12 Ga. (2.7 mm), 14 Ga. (1.9 mm) and
16 Ga. (1.5mm) ASTM A653 GR 33
For other materials, see Special Metals or Fiberglass sections.
FINISHES
All channels are available in:
- Perma Green III (GR)
- Pre-galvanized (PG), conforming to ASTM A653 G90
- Hot-dipped galvanized (HG), conforming to ASTM A123
- Plain (PL)
- Unistrut Defender™ (DF), conforming to ASTM A1046
*** Perma Green finish is a commercial grade finish, and as such scuffs and scratch marks are to be expected. If a flawless finish is desired, it is recommended to apply a matching touch up paint ***
DIMENSIONS
Imperial dimensions are illustrated in inches. Metric dimensions are shown in millimeters and rounded to one decimal place.
STANDARD LENGTHS
Standard lengths are 10 feet (3.05m) and 20 feet (6.10m). Tolerances are ±1⁄8" (3 mm). Special lengths are available for a small cutting charge with a tolerance of ±1⁄8" (3 mm).

LOAD DATA
All beam and column load data pertains to carbon steel and stainless steel channels. Load tables and charts are constructed to be in accordance with the SPECIFICATION FOR THE DESIGN OF COLD-FORMED STEEL STRUCTURAL MEMBERS 2007 EDITION published by the AMERICAN IRON AND STEEL INSTITUTE USING ASD METHOD. Loads are based on 33 ksi steel cold formed to 42 ksi.

| Notes: * Load limited by spot weld shear. ** KL⁄r > 200 NR = Not Recommended. 1. Beam loads are given in total uniform load (W Lbs) not uniform load (w lbs/ft or w lbs/in). 2. Beam loads are based on a simple span and assumed to be adequately laterally braced. Unbraced spans can reduce beam load carrying capacity. Refer to Page 62 for reduction factors for unbraced lengths. 3. For pierced channel, multiply beam loads by the following factor: "KO" Series........95% "T" Series...........85% "HS" Series........90% "SL" Series.........85% "H3" Series.........90% "DS" Series........70% "WT" Series........85% 4. Deduct channel weight from the beam loads. 5. For concentrated midspan point loads, multiply beam loads by 50% and the corresponding deflection by 80%. For other load conditions refer to page 18. 6. All beam loads are for bending about Axis 1-1. |
