Kwik-Bridge Punch System
U.S. Patent No. 5,943,838
Commonly, cold rolled channel is used as lateral bracing in a variety of interior and exterior framing applications. The cold roll channel is installed through the stud punch-outs, perpendicular to the framing at pre-determined spacings along the height of the wall. Once the channel is positioned horizontally within the wall cavity, a method of securing the channel to each individual stud will be selected according to the design criteria for the assembly. Typically, positive attachment is achieved through welding or by using angle clips and screws. The
Kwik Bridge Punch Systems
serves as an alternative method of achieving positive attachment of the cold rolled channel to the steel stud.
In essence, the
Kwik Bridge Punch System
is a unique patented design that incorporates a tab into the punch out of the stud. The tab can be bent to stiffen the web and then used instead of a clip to fasten cold rolled channel. The cost of the clip is eliminated and screw consumption is reduced by half. The labor savings may also be significant compared to welding because certified welders will not be required.
