LSUBH Bridging Connectors for CFS Stud Construction LSUBH bridging connectors offer a lower-cost option to our popular SUBH-MSUBH u-channel bridging connectors. The LSUBH connector provides all the installation benefits of the SUBH/MSUBH connectors, and is suitable for many wind-bearing and load-bearing situations where the load demand is light to moderate. Key Features •• Accommodates 3 5/8", 6" and 8" studs in thicknesses of 33 mil (20 ga.) through 54 mil (16 ga.) •• Many applications require only one-screw installation •• Accommodates industrystandard 1.5" u-channel •• Tested to include stud-web strength and stiffness in the tabulated design values Product Information •• Material: 33 mil (20 ga.) •• Finish: Galvanized (G90) •• Codes: Testing performed in accordance with ICC-ES AC261.

Allowable loads are for use when utilizing Allowable Stress Design methodology. For LRFD loads, multiply the ASD tabulated values by 1.6. 2. Allowable brace strengths are based on ultimate test load divided by a safety factor. Serviceability limit is not considered, as brace stiffness requirements are given in section D3.3 of AISI S100-2007. Contact Simpson Strong-Tie if nominal brace strength is required. 3.
