Lh Dottie PS1212 Plate Strap 12 Gauge Steel

Product Description

The LH DOTTIE PS1212 is a steel plate strap designed for securing and bridging structural members, pipes, conduit, and other building components in both residential and commercial construction. Measuring 12 inches in length and 1-1/2 inches in width, this strap is formed from 12-gauge steel, providing solid rigidity for load-bearing and restraint applications. Electricians, plumbers, and general contractors use this type of hardware when codes require positive mechanical fastening of pipes, cables, or framing elements. The 12-gauge thickness balances workability with strength, allowing field drilling or bending when needed without sacrificing structural integrity.

The PS1212 plate strap is suited for a wide range of light structural and mechanical trade applications. Common uses include bridging wood framing members, reinforcing butt joints in rough carpentry, strapping conduit or pipe runs to structural surfaces, and providing code-required support at offsets or transitions. The flat strap format makes it easy to mount flush against framing, concrete block, or steel surfaces. It is a standard item on residential new construction, remodel, and retrofit jobs where a low-profile, strong metal strap is required.

Key Features

• 12-gauge steel construction provides reliable rigidity for strapping and bridging tasks
• 12-inch length accommodates standard framing spans and pipe offsets
• 1-1/2-inch width offers a stable fastening surface for screws or bolts
• Flat profile mounts flush against framing, masonry, or metal surfaces
• Field-workable gauge allows drilling or minor bending without cracking

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose flat plate strap suitable for use in residential and light commercial framing, plumbing, and electrical applications where a 12-inch steel strap is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by electricians, plumbers, or carpenters depending on the application. Fasten using appropriately rated screws, bolts, or nails through the strap holes or field-drilled openings into the supporting structure. Ensure all fasteners penetrate solid framing or backing material to maintain holding strength. Follow applicable local building codes, NEC requirements for conduit support spacing, or IPC guidelines for pipe support intervals as appropriate to the trade application.
