Metallics MSCW121SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size bolt does the Metallics MSCW121SS square channel washer fit?
The MSCW121SS is a 1/2 inch square channel washer, so it is sized for 1/2 inch channel bolts and threaded rod running through strut.
2) Is the MSCW121SS channel washer stainless, and will it hold up outdoors or in a wash-down area?
It is made of 316 stainless steel, the marine-grade austenitic stainless specified for coastal, chemical, and wash-down environments where 304 pits. That makes it a match for exterior strut runs, water treatment, food processing, and rooftop work.
3) How many washers come in a pack of Metallics MSCW121SS?
They ship 50 pieces to the pack, which is a practical quantity for a full strut-mounted conduit or pipe support run rather than a single fitting.
4) What is a square channel washer actually for on a strut installation?
A square channel washer sits between the bolt head or nut and the lips of the strut channel. The square shape spans both lips and spreads the clamp load across them instead of letting a round washer dig into one edge, which keeps the joint from loosening under vibration. The MSCW121SS does that job for 1/2 inch hardware.
5) Should I use 316 stainless channel washers with galvanized strut, or do I need to match the metals?
Pair 316 stainless washers with stainless strut, nuts, and bolts wherever you can. Mixing 316 stainless against plain electro-galvanized strut in a wet location sets up galvanic corrosion at the contact point, and the galvanized part is the one that gives up. If the run is indoor and dry, mixing is routine; if it is exterior or wash-down, carry the stainless through the whole assembly.
6) Do I need anything else besides the MSCW121SS washers to hang conduit from strut?
Yes. The washer is just the load-spreading plate. You still need the 1/2 inch channel nut (spring nut) that captures in the strut, the 1/2 inch bolt or threaded rod, and the clamp or pipe strap itself. Order the nuts and bolts in 316 stainless as well if you picked these washers for a corrosive location.
