C channel sizes chart for dimensions weight and section properties of steel channels.

Steel hat channel sizes. Hat channels can be made in thicknesses varying from 005 150. Length 12 0 and 20 0. Steeler furring channel is offered in the following gauges. Members 20 gauge and thicker are engineered for some exterior applications.

Astm code standards color code traditional 18 mil clear. A hat channel is usually defined as a corrosion resistant framing piece typically used to fur out walls in masonry and ceiling projects. 3 bearing length 0 75 inches. In concrete wall applications furring channel is installed vertically to the wall surface using concrete nails or power driven fasteners.

Hat channel s are fabricated in 1 2 7 8 1 1 2 depth from 25 gauge to 14 gauge steel. Hat channel or hat purlin are light gauge steel framing members used for roof and wall support as well as retrofit installation over existing metal roofs. The most common hat channel sizes typically range from a furring channel to a 1 furring channel. Special lengths are available.

Hat channels are usually measured in millimeters or inches and allow for good amounts of loading capacity for any sized project. Gypsum panels are then screw attached to the furring channels. 2 multiple span indicates two or more equal spans with channel continuous over center support. 4 single spans taken as the minimum span based on moment shear web crippling or deflection.

C channels are designated by the letter c followed by the nominal depth in inches and the weight in pounds per foot. 25 25ti 30es 22 20dw 030 mils 20 033 mils 18 16 and 14. An aluminum hat channel allows for even greater thicknesses. Provides noncombustible furring for interior and exterior walls use to level uneven surfaces available in 7 8 and 1 1 2 depths in 25 20 18 and 16 gauge standard lengths are 10 and 12.
