ClarkDietrich · Floor Joist Framing Connections
EasyClip™ Quick Twist Web Stiffener
Quote requiredSimple, post installation assembly
Web reinforcement is often required by design to enhance the load capacity of joists. The unique design of this web stiffener allows the installer to insert the stiffener on the inside of the joist after the joist is installed. This stiffener eliminates the need to pre-insert traditional web stiffeners prior to joist installation. The one-piece assembly is easily rotated in-place for a tight fit. Note: The QTWS is designed to work with all floor joist flanges but the length of the QTWS clip shall match the depth of the supporting floor joist.
