LTB40 Light Tension Bridging

LTB40 Light Tension Bridging

LTB bridging connectors are a cost-effective solution for bracing between non-load-bearing wall studs when compared with field fabricated blocking and clip angles.

Material:

22 ga. (27 mil)

Finish:

Galvanized (G90)

Installation:

Use (2) #10 screws at each end

The LTB can be utilized with 3 5/8", 6", 8" and 10" studs at 16" o.c.

LTB works only in tension, so must be used in cross pairs

Install bridging tightly; loose installation may allow stud movement
