MC6x7 – MC Shapes - American channels

MC6x7 is a channel 6 in (152 mm) deep with a 1.88 in (48 mm) flange, weighing 7 lb/ft (10.4 kg/m).

MC shapes are additional standardized channel sections that sit outside the C-shape series — extra depth and weight combinations that fill gaps the standard C series doesn't cover. They're used the same way C shapes are — framing, bracing, purlins, and general structural channel applications — and are typically specified when a project's loading or geometry calls for a specific depth-to-weight combination that only the MC series provides.
