The Steel Strong-Wall provides high capacity, narrow wall solutions for cold-formed steel framing.The wall installs easily in cold-formed steel framing and eliminates the need for X bracing.

Notes:

• For top of wall attachment, use 1/4" self-drilling screws (not provided) extended through the connection with 3 exposed threads minimum. Fill all screw holes.
• Maximum height H is the maximum height allowed for the allowable shear loads.

1. Specify height when ordering “X” models
   (example: S/SSW12x8X, H = 95").

Material: Vertical Panel - 118 mil (10 ga)

Finish: Vertical Panel - Galvanized; Top and Base Plates - Simpson gray paint
