MITek 31-24 Spacer Bracer, 20 ga Gauge, Steel, Galvanized
- Professional-grade MiTek brand ensures superior structural reliability
- 24-inch on-center spacing provides optimal truss stabilization
- Prevents costly truss movement and structural damage
- Easy installation saves time on construction projects
Description
The Stabilizer™ is easily installed by embedding the patented MII 20 teeth on the top flange straight into the edge of the truss member to be braced with a framing hammer. The side tabs are then secured by driving the teeth into the face of the truss member being braced.
- Use 31-24 for standard 24″ o.c. spacing. For odd spacing, cut and insert a solid block between the trusses.
- Typically, The Stabilizer™ is installed at 6’– 8′ centers along the roof plane and 10’– 15′ along the ceiling plane. (Refer to engineering specifications BCSI 1-03, published by The Truss Plate Institute for specific bracing requirements.)
- The Stabilizer™ must be supplemented with diagonal bracing in the roof and ceiling planes and cross bracing in the web plane at required intervals.
- Web forces are not to exceed 8000 lbs.
- The Stabilizer™ is properly installed when the top flap and side tabs are flush with the member being braced.
