BackIt® (Rigid Wall Backing), manufactured by The Steel Network, provides a solid backing solution to support handrails, wall-mounted shelving, and other equipment. Installation is greatly simplified through a simple screw connection to the stud flange, delivering flexibility for use in 12”, 16”, and 24” stud spacing.
Shelf tabs hold a variety of wood backing sizes and shapes, including 1” x 6”, 2” x 4”, and 2” x 6”, in place during installation. BackIt® exceeds the code-required allowable load resistance of 250 lbs in the vertical and horizontal directions. Quantity-50/Box
