USED TO SECURE U-CHANNEL TO WALL STUDS FOR LATERAL BRACING

The ClarkDietrich FastBridge clip is used to secure U-Channel or Cold Rolled Channel (CRC) to structural or non-structural wall studs when used in load-bearing, curtain wall or drywall framing applications. The wall stud friction fit design allows for as little as one screw for the connection to the U-Channel.

The FastBridge clip is a stiffened, G90 galvanized steel clip that's tested and designed to facilitate the rapid, efficient installation of 1-1/2" U-Channel lateral bracing for exterior curtain wall framing, loadbearing walls or interior partitions constructed of structural or non-structural studs.

FASTBRIDGE CLIP DESIGN INFORMATION

PACKAGING:

250 FB68 clips per bucket

INSTALLATION

U-Channel is inserted into the stud punchout (spacing as specified by design) and rotated into place (leg down).  Place the FastBridge Clip inside the punchout (stiffened wings down) and twist allowing the friction fit design to hold the clip into place. The clip must be firmly seated over the top web of the U-channel. FastBridge clips are fastened using #10 self-drilling screws driven through the clip hole into the U-channel. More than one screw may be need depending on design.

The FastBridge clip should not be used in studs over 8" wide.
