Hot-Rolled Steel Embedded Channel C72/48 Heavy Duty for Curtain Wall
The heavy-duty hot-rolled embedded channel C72/48 is engineered for high-load pre-embedded anchoring in concrete. Its larger cross-section, with a 72 mm slot width and 48 mm channel height, suits heavy curtain wall facades, steel structure connections and bridge, metro and tunnel pre-embedded systems where lighter channels would be undersized.
The channel is cast into the concrete edge or slab during the structural pour, and hammer-head T-bolts sliding in its slot give installers on-site positional tolerance before final tightening. A hot-dip galvanized finish protects the steel through decades of embedded service, and the channel can be cut to project length and supplied with a stud pattern to match the drawing.
Key Features
- Material: Hot-rolled steel Q235B, with optional SS304 / SS316 grades
- Channel Size: 72 mm slot width × 48 mm channel height, heavy-duty profile
- Finish: Hot-dip galvanized (HDG) for long-term corrosion protection
- Customization: Cut to length, anchor stud pattern per project drawing
- Quality: 100% inspected before shipment; material test certificates available on request
Specifications
- Profile: C72/48 heavy-duty embedded channel
- Slot width: 72 mm
- Channel height: 48 mm
- Material: Hot-rolled steel Q235B (optional SS304 / SS316)
- Finish: Hot-dip galvanized
Installation & Usage
The channel is fixed to the formwork at the planned fixing centres, the concrete is placed around it, and after curing hammer-head T-bolts are inserted into the slot and slid to each connection point. The steel bracket or curtain wall support is then fastened to the projecting studs and aligned before final tightening to the values in the project documentation. Open channel ends are capped to keep construction debris out.
Quality Assurance
Every embedded channel is 100% inspected before shipment for slot dimensions, galvanizing coverage and straightness. Material test certificates are available on request to support structural design checks.
Applications
- Heavy-duty curtain wall and facade anchoring
