A steam generator tube support structure having three sets of mutually parallel strips each set extending in a different direction oriented sixty degrees from the other two. One set of strips is slotted at both edges. The other two sets of strips are slotted on one edge. The strips engage to form hexagonal cells for supporting and aligning a triangular array of tubes. Dimples in the strips provide point tube support.
