KNEE-BRACE STABILIZER
$3.73
Engineered for superior structural integrity, the KBS1Z Knee Brace Stabilizer from Simpson Strong-Tie provides essential support for equal-width members by allowing for easy installation of two braces at each end. Crafted from durable 16-gauge steel and featuring ZMAX galvanization, this stabilizer is designed to resist corrosion, ensuring reliable performance in both exterior and treated-wood applications. Its versatility extends to installations at various angles—simply bend the brace along designated slots for custom angles, but remember to bend it only once. Whether used in pairs for beam-to-post connections or as a single stabilizer for 2x knee braces, the KBS1Z is a critical component for achieving stability and strength in your construction projects.
Description
