Simpson Strong-Tie® TSBR Truss Spacer-Restraint (24")
SKU: TSBR224
The Simpson Strong-Tie® TSBR truss spacer-restraint is a time-saving lateral-restraint product that improves quality and safety while helping to meet the prescriptive recommendations of the WTCA/TPI. Easier to install than wood bracing, the TSBR firmly grips the trusses, capturing on-center spacing and keeping them vertical and plumb after placement, resulting in a better truss installation. The unique design eliminates additional time spent measuring truss spacing and laying out temporary lateral bracing. And once installed, the TSBR can remain in place to be sheathed over, thereby eliminating the need to remove temporary bracing and creating a safer, more stable work platform.
