Roll Formed Hats

Also called omega-sections or sub-girts (especially in the housing and building industries), hats are named for their obvious similarity to a man’s top hat in cross-section. Obvious uses such as structural components, reinforcements and stiffeners make hats as ubiquitous as angle iron. Hats provide stable support, sometimes in structural applications. Hats offer flat surfaces for fastening and often include notches and other mounting holes.

• H-101
  1.3" x 2.5", H-101 16 gauge roll formed galvanized hat girt. This Hat also shows a swedged end that laps over a mating part. A hat channel is usually defined as a corrosion-resistant framing piece, typically used to fur out walls in masonry and ceiling projects. Girts and purlins are also components of the secondary frame of a metal building in residential, industrial and commercial steel buildings. A girt is the horizontal structural member of a framed wall that provides lateral support to the wall panel to resist wind loads. Hat channels get their name from their hat-like shape. As a coil-based process, economical production quantities begin around 5,000 lineal feet. Custom lengths are available to meet OEM requirements.
