How Does a Pre Galvanised Strut Joint Work
Hot dip galvanised stringer channels are used for pre installation of aluminium roofing in multiple locations. The pre galvanised strut channel is designed to withstand the weight and pressure of a heavy vehicle off the roof. These channels have a steel plate with an open top design and have been known to be very effective when it comes to carrying a vehicle or load, without allowing access to the rafters, sills or roof deck. In most cases the entire roof structure can be supported by the pre galvanised strut channel and no additional joint structures are required.
There are many different sizes, material types, colours and shapes available when it comes to purchasing pre galvanised strut channels. As mentioned above there are many designs that can be incorporated into the pre galvanised strut channel. Some of these channels are suitable for use in all weather conditions whereas others may only be used in wet climates. When it comes to the galvanised strut channel it is important that you identify what type of weather conditions you will be working in. Although a product such as this can withstand all weather conditions, it is always better to be safe than sorry.
Another very popular type of pre galvanised strut joint is the hot dip galvanised design. As the name suggests the hot dip galvanised joint is made from a mixture of hot dip galvanized aluminum and hot dip silicone. This design is very strong and waterproof due to the combination of the materials.
As with the hot dip galvanised design, the pre galvanised joint has an open top design. However when it comes to the design of the hot dip galvanised design some vehicles may not be able to benefit from this option. This is due to the height of the vehicles centre of gravity. The centre of gravity refers to the position of the vehicle's chassis.
The installation of any pre galvanised strut joint can be done at either a local or factory approved place of business. When it comes to installing the pre galvanised strut joints, the equipment must be fully prepared before installation. As a pre galvanised strut joint is designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, all protective fittings and seals must be fully fitted and working correctly. It is important to ensure that all piping and fittings are fully installed and properly secured. As you will know, when it comes to flat top auto parts, one small mistake can mean a life or death situation. As a rule of thumb ensure that all joints are fully assembled and secure before moving onto the next step of installation.
Once the pre galvanised strut joint is in place the installation can commence. A special fitting cap must be fitted over the joint to prevent water entry. This can be done with the use of an adhesive. Depending on the model of car you have, the level of clearance will vary. Once secured, the installation process can begin. Depending on the model of car, the bolts and nuts will be added and the relevant timing belt will need to be adjusted.
