Building strut system

A strut channel comprised of a base, two sides each with a flange turned inwardly and down toward the base and dimpled holes of a predetermined size that facilitate the insertion of self-tapping screws along the length of the strut channel spaced along the flat surfaces to facilitate the attachment of various clamps or attachment hardware at any desired spacing along the base or the sides using self tapping fasteners.

Pipe clamp made of ridged material preferably a metal strap that is formed to contain a round elongated object to a surface or other object using threaded fasteners and has:

• A protective tab to keep a point of a self tapping fastener from being directly exposed;
• Holes arranged on an angle between 1 and 40 degrees between the holes in each side of the strap where the first is located further from the object being clamped in the outer portion of the strap where the fastener is first inserted and the second being located in the strap on the opposite side of the object being clamped that further includes the tab extending predetermined distance the same direction and beyond where the fastener is intended to be inserted, so tightening of a clamping fastener can be directly accessed even if the clamp is located into close proximity to another clamp;

A hanger clip that attaches directly to the inside of a strut channel and is secured by bending the clip causing a incorporated tab to capture the inside flange of the strut and provide an attachment means:

• Hook with means for filling space in the interior hook portion of the strut channel;
• A bend across the clip at the point near the said hook with sufficient cutout material to allow the bend in the clip to be straitened by hand;
• An opening with bent flanges that push against the outside of the interior hook portion of the strut channel when the pre-bent portion is straitened;
