Cold-Formed Steel Restraint & Bracing
- SBCA’s Cold-Formed Steel BCSI booklet recommends using material that is a minimum of 33 mil for permanent restraint/bracing applications.
- Framers should verify that they are getting structural grade hat channel (150F125-33) to be in conformance with the industry governing documents.
- If the preference is to use non-structural hat channel, the truss design engineer should evaluate the structural capabilities of the material.
