Specification Checklist
Send the following information with your drawing so the quotation can identify the product and included supply scope.
| Item | What to specify |
|---|---|
| Section geometry | C or Z section, web depth, flange widths, lip sizes and bend details from the drawing. |
| Steel & coating | Specified steel grade, base metal thickness and coating designation. |
| Length schedule | Member mark, cut length and quantity for each piece; identify handed or paired members. |
| Hole layout | Hole size, slot direction, positions from the correct datum and end distances. |
| Connections | Cleats, sleeves, laps, fasteners, bridging or restraints specified by the designer. |
| Documents & delivery | Required material records, drawing approval, bundling labels, destination and unloading plan. |
C and Z describe the section shape
A C section has its flanges on the same side of the web; a Z section has flanges on opposite sides. Shape alone does not determine the load capacity or whether a member can replace another. Confirm the section properties, support arrangement and connection system for the specified project.
Do not interchange a C member and a Z member using only the nominal depth and thickness. Final structural selection and any lap, restraint or connection requirements belong in the approved design.
