Unistrut P3300

Abhay Steels' Superior Unistrut P3300 Strut Channels

Industry standard for versatile, high-quality metal framing is the Unistrut P3300. Based in Mumbai, Abhay Steels is an ISO-certified supplier and stockist that carries premium-grade P3300 channel constructed to meet the requirements of your project. Our framing solutions support and bear the weight of commercial infrastructure, data centres, and industrial buildings.

The Unistrut P3300: What is it?

A low-profile metal framing strut is the P3300. Its heavy-duty 12-gauge (2.5mm) thickness and dimensions of 1-5/8" wide by 7/8" tall (41mm x 21mm) allow it to maintain strength in a small package. It is the best option when overhead space is limited but you still require a strong load capacity because of its shorter profile.

It is compatible with common Unistrut fittings, spring nuts, and hardware and is available in solid and slotted forms. The end product is a frame system that is completely reusable and simple to modify in the future.

Important Features and Details

To ensure that our P3300 channel operates as intended, we source and store it in accordance with international quality standards.

Measurements: 41 x 21 mm (1-5/8" x 7/8") profile with a wall thickness of 12 gauge (2.5 mm)

Material options include pre-galvanized and hot-dip galvanized finishes for affordable durability and premium stainless steel (Types 304 and 316) for superior rust resistance.

Simple installation: no special drilling or welding is required. You can bolt the entire thing together thanks to the continuous slot, which reduces labor costs and installation time.

Reusable: As your routeing or structural requirements change, you can reconfigure it because the modular design disassembles quickly.

Typical Uses

P3300 is a favorite for electrical and lightweight mechanical tasks due to its compact profile. Engineers and contractors employ the P3300 for the following purposes rather than aiming for a bulkier, deeper trench and overshooting the required load:

Cable tray supports, electrical conduit, and wiring routeing

Commercial lighting frameworks and suspended ceiling grids

HVAC ductwork bracing and trapeze pipe hangers

For vital mechanical infrastructure, seismic bracing

Personalized shelving, racking, and lightweight framing

FAQS

What distinguishes the Unistrut P1000 from the P3300?

It boils down to load capacity and height. Both are made of 12-gauge steel, however the P3300 is just 7/8" tall (a shallow, low-profile channel), and the P1000 is 1-5/8" tall (a deep channel). When space is limited and maximum heavy-duty weight capacity is not strictly necessary, the P3300 works well.

Is stainless steel an option for the Unistrut P3300?

Indeed. We provide the P3300 in 304 and 316 stainless steel. Chemical facilities, maritime environments, and highly exposed outdoor applications can all benefit from these grades' strong corrosion resistance.

Does the Unistrut P3300 require welding in order to be installed?

No. Spring nuts, threaded rods, bolts, and brackets power the whole Unistrut system, allowing connections to be assembled quickly and remain fully adjustable on-site.

Is it possible to cut the P3300 channel to specific lengths?

Indeed. Although we can provide precise custom-cut sizes to meet your technical and project requirements, standard factory lengths are 3 meters (10 feet) and 6 meters (20 feet).
