Product Application
|
BuckleBridge® provides a solid wall stud bridging system to resist
weak axis buckling and torsional rotation of members. Elongated tabs in one end
of BuckleBridge lock into a slot at the other end (through the stud knockout). Two
vertical flaps at each end contain pre-drilled holes to facilitate the attachment
to the stud. BuckleBridge is used with 16” o.c. member spacing.
