Simpson Strong-Tie WB106 - Galvanized 9'-5-5/8" Wall Bracing
The Simpson Strong-Tie WB is designed to resist racking during construction and provide long-term strength for structural walls. This wall bracing provides resistance to in-plane forces, creating an overall stronger structure. While not designed to replace structural panel shearwall load-carrying components, the WB is a cost-effective option that fulfills the same code bracing requirements as a 1x4 let-in brace with a faster install process.
