Post Base 1 5/8 Strut 5" Base A strut channel post base, also referred to as a channel post base, is a crucial component used in metal framing systems to securely anchor vertical strut channels to various surfaces. These bases form a stable foundation for constructing upright support structures in various applications like construction, electrical, and mechanical installations. Key characteristics Function: They securely fasten strut channel sections, typically to floors or concrete slabs, creating vertical or horizontally oriented support structures. Design: They are designed to wrap around two sides of a strut channel and have a flange that allows for bolting onto the ground or surface. Many are also designed to work with anchor bolts for concrete installations. Material: Commonly made from galvanized steel, offering robustness and corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor use. Stainless steel post bases (e.g., Type 316 SS) are available for increased corrosion resistance, especially in demanding environments. Compatibility: They are specifically designed for 1-5/8 inch square single channels, ensuring universal compatibility across a range of mounting systems. Double channel options are also available. Easy Installation: Post bases typically feature slotted holes, allowing for quick and hassle-free installation on walls, floors, or ceilings
