how can I tie two channels together back to back?

based on design in Hilti installation software, I need MQ-52-72D which I bought and used for parts of my work. unfortunately the supplier do not have this profile anymore. I decided to tie two different channels of MQ-52 and MQ-72 back to back together. which connectors can make this possible to me? I am looking for technical data because I want to be sure about the load bearing of assembled channel. whether the assembled channel will work same as MQ-52-72D ore not?
thank you

Roya,
Great question, I need to reach out to our product expert to be able to give you a perfect answer.
Please give me a bit of time on that.

In the meantime, my suggestion is to open our Product Technical Guide on Installation products (volume 3). It should be able to help

Regards
Axel

Hi Roya:

The strut tie MQZ-SS is typically used to connect strut in a back-to-back configuration. Additional information, including technical data, can found on our website:  https://www.hilti.com/installation-systems/channel-systems/369691 

Please contact me if you have other questions or need additional information.

Regards,

Randy

whether the assembled channel will work same as MQ-52-72D or not? You can find the calculation in attached to evaluation based on technical data of connector which you may have. how many of this connector I have to use in one meter of a profile to act as a MQ-52-72-D?

Roya:

Please note that Hilti North America does not support the MQ-52 and MQ-72D channels.  We have reached out to our colleagues regarding your question and will post a response when we recieve more information.
