Joe, I have an electrical contractor that is using channel for bracing flag poled service risers.  He is cutting the channel on both sides so he can get a bend to meet his needs.  I'm not comfortable with the cutting and bending as I think the strength of the channel is in the design with the sides intact.  Can you run this through for comment by the contractor's network and/or give me any code reference that may apply to this type of installation?
