5-Hole Strut Tee Gusset Plate
Build stronger, more stable T-connections between intersecting sections of strut channel. This wide gusset plate provides five mounting points and a larger reinforced connection area, making it an excellent choice for equipment frames, shelving, supports and other assemblies where added rigidity is valuable.
The smooth Zinc Plated finish provides practical corrosion protection and a clean appearance for workshops, equipment rooms, warehouses, covered structures and other indoor or protected installations.
Why You’ll Love It
- Reinforced T-connections — the broad gusset helps stabilize intersecting strut channels
- Five-point attachment — three mounting holes across the top and two down the centre
- Added joint coverage — larger than a standard tee plate for a more substantial connection
- Clean Zinc Plated finish — practical corrosion protection with a smooth, professional appearance
A standard tee plate works well for many everyday strut connections. A gusset plate provides a larger connection area and an additional mounting point, helping reinforce the joint and reduce movement across the completed assembly.
It is a great choice for larger frames, equipment supports and other installations where you want a more substantial T-connection without adding a formed bracket behind the channel.
A Stronger Way to Build T-Junctions
The plate mounts flat across the face of two strut channels meeting in a T-shaped arrangement. Three holes secure the plate across the main channel, while two additional holes connect the intersecting channel through the tapered lower section.
Its broad top and tapered gusset help tie the two channel sections together across a larger area. This makes it especially useful for frames and supports where maintaining alignment and minimizing movement are important.
Clean, Practical Zinc Protection
Zinc plating applies a smooth protective zinc coating to the steel. It provides practical corrosion resistance while maintaining a bright, consistent appearance that works well in visible equipment frames and finished installations.
It is an economical and versatile choice for dry indoor spaces, workshops, warehouses, utility rooms, covered structures and other locations protected from regular weather exposure.

Frequently Asked
What type of connection is this gusset plate designed for?
It is designed to join strut channels that meet in a T-shaped arrangement on the same plane. Three holes mount across the main channel, while two holes secure the intersecting channel through the tapered lower section.
Why choose this instead of a standard 4-hole tee plate?
The five-hole gusset plate provides a larger connection area and an additional mounting point on the intersecting channel. Its wider, tapered body creates a more substantial joint and can help reduce movement in larger frames and supports.
A standard four-hole tee plate is a compact, economical choice for everyday connections. Choose the gusset plate when you want broader reinforcement or a more robust connection between the channel sections.
Can I use this plate indoors?
Yes. Its Zinc Plated finish is an excellent choice for workshops, warehouses, equipment rooms, utility spaces and other indoor installations. It provides practical corrosion protection with a clean, consistent appearance.
Can Zinc Plated fittings be used outdoors?
Yes, particularly in covered, enclosed or sheltered installations protected from regular rain and standing moisture. Zinc Plated hardware is commonly used in many protected equipment frames and support structures.
For a permanent installation with continuous exposure to weather or frequent moisture, Hot Dip Galvanized hardware generally provides a heavier level of corrosion protection. The surrounding channel, bolts and fittings should also be selected for the installation environment.
Is this a bent or formed bracket?
No. This is a flat gusset plate that mounts across the face of channel sections meeting in the same plane. If your channel sections meet on different planes, a formed angle fitting may be more appropriate.
Should I use all five mounting holes?
Yes. The plate is designed to be secured at all five mounting points. Using every hole provides the intended alignment and distributes the connection across the full gusset plate.
