FASTBRIDGE™
USED TO SECURE U-CHANNEL TO WALL STUDS FOR LATERAL BRACING
The FastBridge clip is used to secure u-channel 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.
