Product Overview

WBAC162-R50 Wood Backing Steel Connector (Carton of 50pcs)

The WBAC wood backing steel connector is the ideal solution for connecting wood or steel backing to cold-formed steel studs. Perfect for cabinets, shelves, handrails, heavy wall hangings and more, this versatile connector installs easily and provides tested strength. The WBAC is designed to eliminate alignment issues and reduce installation time. Since stiffness and strength are critical for these applications, the fastening pattern into both stud and backing has been engineered to optimize performance.

Key Features
  • Simple installation using prepunched holes allowing the same screw to be used for both backing and stud attachment
  • Not limited to just a 1 5/8" flange, the WBAC has been tested to accommodate 1 1/4" flanges, 1 5/8" flanges and 2" flanges
  • Works for any stud spacing, predetermined or typical stud spacing not required
  • Sight lines to guide installation alignment
  • Unique rolled support bottom tabs provide extra strength and stiffness
