The zinc rod stiffener strut is a threaded rod stiffener that is specifically designed for seismic support fittings. This type of strut is used to provide additional support and reinforcement in structures that are at risk of seismic activity. The zinc material ensures durability and strength, making it an ideal choice for such applications. By using threaded rod stiffeners, the overall stability and integrity of the structure can be improved, ultimately increasing its ability to withstand seismic forces. Whether it's for new construction or retrofitting existing buildings, these stiffeners play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and resilience of structures in earthquake-prone areas.

Rod stiffeners are attached to threaded rods to accommodate compression loads, ensuring secure hold and desired positioning. The rod stiffeners' interlocking design ensures stability within the channel profile, facilitating quick and easy assembly. These assemblies can be inserted into pre-installed channel profiles via a 90° rotation, offering flexibility in installation.
Specifically, the Rod Stiffener FTRC M12 is utilized to brace suspended structures, stabilizing threaded rods M10 or M12 within channel profiles. Its secure interlocking maintains the rod stiffener in the desired position, providing stability within the channel. This exact fit promotes rapid and effortless channel assembly. Furthermore, the rod stiffeners can be inserted into existing structures at any time through a simple 90° rotation.
We offer three distinct rod stiffener types: Snap-Brace, SRBC, and RSC. The SRBC and RSC Series serve as seismic rod bracing clamps, providing additional support for threaded rods suspending piping, ducts, conduit, and various suspended equipment. Uniquely, the Snap-Brace requires no tools for installation. It leverages a standard 1-5/8" strut channel to stiffen the hanger rod against buckling. As its name implies, it can be snapped into the strut, instantly serving as a brace for the hanger rod.
Seismic forces operate in all directions. Since threaded rods are sized primarily for gravity loads, additional rod bracing is necessary to prevent buckling. Uplift forces can easily surpass the dead load on the rod, resulting in compressive forces. Without bracing, the rod may buckle and fail. However, with the addition of the VMC SRBC or RSC Series bracing clamps, angle steel or bracing can be quickly and easily attached to the rod, enhancing its stability and durability.
