Unistrut's P1001A3 (triple combination), often known as 12 gauge standard or deep back-to-back strut channel, is ideal for supporting large loads across long spans, its versatility with 3 open face areas for connections, and avoids welding on the jobsite.

This channel is commonly used for applications with heavy load requirements such as healthcare supports, lab supports with specialized HVAC systems, and general commercial structures where P1001 material has insufficient load capacities. P1001A3 is similar to P1001B3 in load capacity, but is a solution for specifiers requiring open faces of channel in opposite directions for use as connection points.

Product dimensions are 4 7/8" Long x 1 5/8" Wide x 12 ga. thick; triple combination. 

Our P1001A3 is available in Pre-Galvanized (PG), Hot-Dip Galvanized (HG), Plain (PL), Green (GR), Zinc Dichromate (ZD) and Stainless Steel (SS).
