Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie HYS12/68-KT25 Bypass Hybrid Strut is designed and tested for use as either a slide or a rigid clip, offering unmatched dual-application versatility in cold-formed steel framing. Commonly used at the bottom of a steel beam to accommodate large standoff conditions, the HYS strut attaches to the structure with screws, power-actuated fasteners, or welds. Each 12-inch, 14-gauge (68 mil) G90 galvanized strut has undergone comprehensive component, assembly, and anchor testing - with tabulated loads developed from those tests that include capacities based on both strength and deflection to assist in mitigating design risk. This 25-pack kit includes the connectors and the XLSH78B1414 #14 shouldered screws needed for slide-clip applications, so your crew can get to work right away.
