Simpson Strong-Tie SBR/43-R20 - Structural Spacer-Bracer, 18Ga 20ct

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.

Features

• SBR and DBR have patent-pending precision-engineered prepunched slots strategically located to enable 12 in., 16 in. and 24 in. on-center stud spacing and can be used to space the studs without having to mark the top track for layout
• The SBR will accommodate 3-5/8 in. and 6 in. studs in thicknesses of 33 mil (20 ga.) thru 68 mil (14 ga.)
• In off-layout or end-of run conditions, the hat-section profiles enable clip attachments to the stud with Simpson Strong-Tie LSSC or RCA connectors
• Prepunched holes in the SBR provide rapid screw installation when spacer-bracer splices are needed for axial load-bearing studs
• Galvanized (G90) for extra corrosion resistance
• Made from 18-gauge (43 mil) steel
• Quantity: 20
