Metal Strip - Standard Sizes
Channel
The size and shape of the metal channel determines, for the most part, brush size and density. The primary function of the channel is to hold the fill material, however, the channel itself can be used as a mounting surface or designed to fit into shaped holders.

The standard channel shape is 'flat back' as shown. Other shapes are possible with special tooling.

Although different manufacturers may use the same size letter and number for a strip brush, there may be significant differences in the actual dimensions after forming. Thus if the strip brush is to be inserted into an extrusion, holder, bracket assembly or mating part it should be submitted and retained by Felton to be used as an additional gauge to insure proper fit.
