Metallics 1PSC250 Strut Clamp 1 pc 2-1/2" - 2-1/2" (Box 25)

The 1PSC250 is sized for 2-1/2 inch conduit, and it is built for EMT or rigid conduit runs. It is a one piece clamp, so the saddle and the strut nut are a single part rather than a clamp plus separate hardware. If your run is a different trade size, you need a different clamp from the series, since each one is size specific.

No. The one piece design has no separate screws or bolts to assemble or drop into the ceiling, which is the main reason electricians pick this style for overhead work. All you need on the job is a screwdriver or nutdriver to set it in the strut channel.

Metallics lists the 1PSC250 strut clamp as both Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant, which is what a government, school, or federally funded project submittal usually asks for. Country of origin is recorded as multiple.

If the run is already supported on strut channel, a strut clamp like the 1PSC250 is the faster call: it drops straight into the channel and tightens with a nutdriver, no backing plate or separate strut nut needed. Two piece straps and pipe clamps make more sense when you are fastening directly to a wall, deck, or unistrut-free structure. The wide soft saddle on this clamp also spreads the load across the conduit rather than pinching it at two points, which matters on cable and plastic-jacketed runs.

The clamp body is steel with a galvanized finish, which is the normal spec for interior commercial, mechanical room, and covered garage conduit support. For continuously wet, chlorinated, or coastal exterior exposure, specify a stainless or PVC-coated clamp instead.

These ship as a box of 25 clamps, and 25 count is the order minimum, so it is sold by the full box rather than the piece. Other sizes and quantities can be arranged by request.

Metallics publishes the pack at 7.5 lbs with dimensions of 7.25 x 6.75 x 3.25 inches, so a box of 25 is easy to carry up a lift with you rather than staging it on the deck.

The saddle is a soft wide profile intended to support cable, conduit, and pipe, so it is not limited to EMT and rigid. The thing to match is diameter, not material: it is a 2-1/2 inch clamp, so whatever you are hanging needs to be that outside size.
