Simpson Strong-Tie SBR/43-R680 STRUCTURAL SPACER-BRACER 18GA 680 PAK (1/each)
$4,052.56
Engineered for structural reliability, the 18-gauge Spacer Bracer from Simpson Strong-Tie features a robust construction that accommodates various stud sizes, including 3-5/8 inch and 6 inch studs with thicknesses ranging from 20 gauge to 14 gauge. This product is designed with patent-pending precision-engineered prepunched slots, strategically positioned to facilitate widely used stud spacing layouts of 12, 16, and 24 inches on center, making it easier for builders to maintain accuracy without the need for additional markings on the top track. Galvanized for enhanced corrosion resistance, the SBR ensures durability and sturdiness in both off-layout and end-of-run conditions through its specially designed hat-section profiles that facilitate secure clip attachments. For rapid installation, prepunched holes also streamline screw placement, especially when spacer-bracer splices are required for axial load-bearing applications.
Description
Simpson Strong-Tie spacer bracers reduce the installed cost of cold-formed steel stud walls by enabling faster stud layout while minimizing the need for bridging clips. The DBR is used for interior walls to eliminate stud bow and allow for quicker drywall attachment, while the SBR is designed for structural exterior walls. Both products provide bracing along the length of the stud, and for head-of-wall slip conditions. The SBR and DBR feature prepunched slots that eliminate the need to use bridging clips with on-module studs. The SBR and DBR spacer bracers come with bracing load data based on assembly testing, thus mitigating risk for designers and maximizing confidence in design specs.
