HSS14x14x1/2 (HSS14x14x.5) – HSS Shapes - Square

HSS14x14x1/2 is a 14 in (356 mm) square hollow section with a 1/2 in (13 mm) nominal wall, weighing 89.68 lb/ft (133.5 kg/m).

Square HSS (Hollow Structural Sections) are closed, tube-shaped sections with equal depth and width. The closed profile gives excellent torsional stiffness and identical strength about both axes, a meaningful advantage over open shapes such as W or C sections. That symmetry makes square HSS a natural choice for columns, particularly where architecturally exposed structural steel is part of the design, and for posts, bracing and light framing where equal biaxial capacity and a clean profile matter more than bending capacity in one direction.
