Contractors often refer to channel nuts as "Zebs or Zebedee's"
Contractors often refer to channel nuts as "Zebs" because of a specific brand name, Zebedee, which became synonymous with these types of nuts. Zebedee channel nuts are known for their spring-loaded design, which makes them easy to install and adjust within strut channels. Over time, the brand name "Zebedee" was shortened to "Zebs," and the term stuck in the industry. These nuts are widely used in electrical, plumbing, and construction applications.
