Aluminium U Channel 26mm x 22mm x 3mm
Description
The 26mm x 22mm x 3mm aluminium U channel is a heavy-duty, precision-extruded profile produced from EN AW-6063 alloy in T5 temper, delivering excellent corrosion resistance, superior rigidity, and a smooth finish. Its 26 mm base width and 22 mm leg height offer substantial coverage and secure panel support, while the thick 3 mm walls provide exceptional strength for demanding applications.
This profile is commonly used in industrial framing, machine guarding, reinforced edging, and structural assemblies where stability and durability are essential. It can be easily cut, drilled, and machined to meet specific fabrication needs.
Supplied in 6-metre standard lengths with a smooth mill finish, anodising or powder coating is available upon request for enhanced protection and visual appeal.
➤ Minimum order quantity: 500 kg.
➤ Worldwide delivery via road, sea, or air freight.
