The Spring Nut is a Key Component of the Unistrut Metal Framing System
The spring nut is very often overlooked. When most people think of metal framing systems, they tend to only think about the Unistrut channel and the Unistrut fittings. Despite that fact, Unistrut hardware is an integral part of the core functionality of the Unistrut system – especially spring nuts and channel nuts. So it’s important to know what your options are, when it comes to choosing the right fasteners for the job.

DIY Unistrut Racks For A Perfect Storage Solution
We recently moved our Rooftop Support Systems (RTS) assembly and welding stations to the back corner of our new warehouse and because of this move, we needed a shelving system that could hold all of our Unistrut inventory and components that we use to build our rooftop systems.

As part of an ongoing effort to optimize product offerings and streamline the Unistrut Metal Framing product line, Unistrut has chosen to discontinue a number of products that are no longer in demand for most typical applications. This allows the company to maintain a sharp focus on production of the products that customers truly need, as well as shift some of their attention to the innovation of new products.
Unistrut part number "AEROSPRAY GR" is green touch-up paint used on cosmetic scratches to Perma-Green finish parts and channel. Unfortunately, due to difficulties in sourcing and transporting the aerosol spray-paint, as well as concerns about the limited shelf-life of the product, it became necessary to discontinue selling it. The good news is that a suitable replacement can be obtained from most local hardware stores.
