True-Brace

T-Brace is used as mechanical bridging for studs. Typically, U-Channel or CRC, is attached to studs via clips or a weld to eliminate stud rotation and bending under wind or axial loads. 1-1/2” T-Brace is passed through the stud knockout and snapped securely into place with Telling’s patented technology saving valuable time and money.

Made of 16 gauge Galvanized Steel
Highly engineered gussets for secure fit in stud knockout:
- Gussets add strength
- Width of gusset is narrower than oval punch out on stud
True-Brace locks into the stud without clips or welding
Notches every 4” to accommodate 12”, 16”, 24” OC stud spacing
Lengths: 52” stock length. (Other lengths available in 4” increments)

Highly Engineered Hourglass Notch

Waist of hourglass notch locks into oval punch out on stud
Wider aperture at top & bottom of Hourglass Notch facilitates ease of assembly into stud
Notches every 4” to accommodate 12”, 16”, 24” OC stud spacing

Benefits and Features

Benefits:

Reduces Installation Time
10% Savings on Material and Labor Costs
No Clips or Welding Required for Most Applications
Easy Installation Due to Patented Design
Typical CRC legs are bent slightly less than 90˚
True-Brace legs are wider than oval punch out on stud, thus cannot pull out of stud
Only at the gusset is True-Brace narrower than the oval punch out on stud
True-Brace legs are bent to 105˚
