The Steel Network, BridgeBar® (Bridging Channel) is a light gauge cold formed steel framing connector that replaces cold-rolled channel (CRC) for wall bridging.
Unique grooves every 4” trap stud web to allow installers to space any wall layout. The grooves adjust to various stud thickness to trap the stud web for maximum strength. BridgeBar® incorporates stiffeners to resist compressive loads through the plane of the wall.
BridgeBar®’s standard U-channel shape ensures use through ¾” and 1½” stud punch-out’s.
