The MEP Flange Repair is a one-piece component designed to restore strength and stiffness to cold-formed steel framing members that have been field modified at the job site. It repairs damaged or cut flanges and reinforces oversized web openings, helping return the framing member to its intended structural performance. The single-piece design allows for efficient installation around installed MEP components, making it ideal for corrective field conditions. The MEP Flange Repair restores structural integrity in steel framing members with oversized or improperly located openings.
