Parallel FlangeChannel (PFC)
Parallel flange channel (PFC) — hot-rolled steel channel for framing, edge beams, purlins and lintels.
Parallel flange channel (PFC), commonly called steel channel, is a hot-rolled C-shaped structural section used for edge beams, framing, purlins, lintels and bracing. We supply the full range of PFC from 75 PFC to 380 PFC in Grade 300 to AS/NZS 3679.1, with mill test certificates and full traceability. Cutting, drilling and surface treatment are available to your specifications.
