Frequently asked questions
Common questions about DAKOTA SYSTEMS from 3G Electric.
What materials and finishes are available for DAKOTA SYSTEMS strut channels?
DAKOTA SYSTEMS strut channels are manufactured from steel with a pre-galvanized zinc finish. The steel provides structural strength, while the pre-galvanized coating offers corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor environments. The finish is typically gray in color. The channels are available in 12-gauge thickness, which balances load capacity with weight. No other finishes or materials, such as stainless steel or aluminum, are listed in the product range supplied by 3G Electric.
What are the standard lengths and slot specifications for DAKOTA SYSTEMS perforated-slot strut channels?
DAKOTA SYSTEMS perforated-slot strut channels are available in lengths of 18, 24, 30, 42, 54, and 66 inches. All channels feature a narrow slotted design with 8 mm slot spacing, which is a common metric standard for strut systems. The slots are perforated along the channel length, allowing for adjustable mounting of hardware such as bolts, clamps, and brackets. The 12-gauge steel construction ensures rigidity for supporting cable trays and conduit.
What is the intended use of the DAKOTA SYSTEMS wire tray hanging clip (DS-HC-PT/50)?
The DAKOTA SYSTEMS wire tray hanging clip (model DS-HC-PT/50) is designed for suspending wire mesh cable trays. It is made from steel with a zinc finish and is intended for use with 6-gauge cable trays. The clip provides a secure attachment point between the tray and supporting structure, such as strut channels or overhead beams. It is a simple mechanical fastener that facilitates quick installation without welding or specialized tools.
Are DAKOTA SYSTEMS strut channels compatible with standard strut fittings from other brands?
DAKOTA SYSTEMS strut channels are designed with a standard perforated-slot pattern and 8 mm slot spacing, which is compatible with many metric strut fittings and hardware commonly used in industrial applications. However, compatibility should be verified based on the specific dimensions and slot geometry of the fittings. The channels have a 12-gauge thickness and a narrow slot type, which may require matching hardware. 3G Electric recommends checking the manufacturer's specifications for the fittings to ensure proper fit.
What is the corrosion resistance level of the pre-galvanized zinc finish on DAKOTA SYSTEMS products?
The pre-galvanized zinc finish on DAKOTA SYSTEMS strut channels and brackets provides a basic level of corrosion protection suitable for indoor environments and sheltered outdoor locations where exposure to moisture is limited. It is not intended for direct burial, continuous immersion, or highly corrosive atmospheres (e.g., chemical plants or coastal areas without additional protection). For more demanding environments, additional coatings or alternative materials may be required. The finish meets typical industrial standards for general-purpose use.
