Z and U-Shaped Fittings

Z and U-Shaped Fittings – Offset and Angled Connections for Strut Channel

Z and U-shaped strut channel fittings are specialty connectors used to build offset, parallel, and angled connections within a strut framing system. They’re a solid choice when you need to bridge a gap, clear an obstruction, reinforce a junction, or add a secondary support point in electrical, mechanical, and industrial installations.

Built for Complex Layouts and Clean Alignment

When your framework can’t stay perfectly in-line, Z and U fittings help you keep the build tight and secure. These fittings are commonly used to create offsets, build multi-directional connections, and add strength at connection points without reworking the entire channel layout.

Common Applications

• Offset connections to clear conduit, piping, or structural obstructions
• Parallel channel tie-ins and reinforced connection points
• Angled or multi-directional framework builds
• Equipment mounting frames and modular support structures

Complete Your Strut Channel Assembly

• Solid Strut Channel: Continuous profile for maximum rigidity and permanent installs.
• Short Slotted Strut Channel: Controlled adjustability for precise alignment.
• Strut Channel Fittings: Connect and reinforce channel structures.

Hardware for Installation

• Channel Nuts: Create a secure threaded anchor point inside the channel.
• Threaded Rod: Common for suspended supports and adjustable framework builds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Z and U-shaped fittings used for?
They’re used to create offsets, parallel connections, and angled joints in a strut channel system, especially when the framework needs to clear obstacles or change direction while staying structurally secure.

Do Z and U fittings work with slotted and solid channel?
In many systems, yes. The key is matching the fitting pattern and hardware to your specific channel profile and hole/slot layout.
