Simpson Strong-Tie®, the leader in engineered structural connectors and building solutions, now offers Stedox® Temporary Bracing for Mass Timber Construction. This best-in-class solution makes it easy for a single operator to secure mass timber columns and wall panels at the proper position quickly, repeatedly and safely with minimal fatigue.
Stedox temporary bracing is strong, lightweight and fully adjustable, installing quickly and precisely to columns, walls and floors. It comes in two sizes (6'-3″−10 ft. and 10−16'-4″ ft.), has a locking pin that allows the user to quickly make rough length adjustments and has extra-fine threaded rod components that allow for super-precise installation tolerances (1/4’’ of linear rod movement per 360° turn with 12” of total fine adjustment). A sturdy, ergonomic handle allows a single operator to position each brace with ease, and threaded rod safety stops at each end of the bracing prevent unsafe disengagement of the rods from the bracing.
“Mass timber manufacturers, specifiers and contractors choose Simpson Strong-Tie products because we offer vetted solutions that lower installed cost, are widely available and are backed by our expert customer service,” said Chris Crawford, Director, OEM Market Segment for Simpson Strong-Tie. “Stedox, owned by Finnish company Stedox Ab Oy and distributed in North America exclusively by Simpson, is yet another example, allowing installers to work with greater ease, speed and efficiency on mass timber construction jobs, contributing to higher productivity and faster project completion.”
Stedox components are hot-dip galvanized and powder-coated for corrosion protection. Bright yellow paint provides for high visibility and safety.
