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.
