Lh Dottie PS1624 Plate Strap 24in X 1.5in 16 Gauge Steel

Product Description

The LH DOTTIE PS1624 is a steel plate strap used to bridge, reinforce, and secure framing members, joists, and structural connections in residential and light commercial construction. Measuring 24 inches in length and 1.5 inches in width, it is formed from 16-gauge steel for consistent thickness and reliable load transfer across the joint. Electricians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors use plate straps to protect cables, pipes, and conduit running through framing from fastener penetration, as well as to tie structural members together. The steel construction resists deformation under typical framing loads.

The PS1624 is suited for wood-frame construction where a flat metal strap is needed to reinforce butt joints, lap joints, or notched framing members. It is commonly installed across cut or notched studs and joists to restore structural integrity after trade rough-in work. The 24-inch length provides coverage across multiple framing members or a generous span on a single member. This strap is a standard fixture on residential new construction and remodel job sites.

Key Features

• 24-inch length spans multiple framing members or covers extended notch repairs
• 1.5-inch width provides a stable bearing surface for fasteners along the full length
• 16-gauge steel construction delivers consistent thickness and resistance to bending
• Flat profile sits flush against framing for minimal interference with adjacent trades
• Pre-punched nail or screw holes typical of this product type for fast field installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment plate strap for wood-frame residential and light commercial construction applications.

Installation Notes

Plate straps are typically installed by carpenters, electricians, or plumbers securing or protecting framing after notching or boring. Fasten using the manufacturer-specified fastener type and count for the hole pattern provided. Follow local building code requirements, including IRC framing protection provisions, when using straps to protect bored or notched members. Ensure framing surfaces are clean and flat before seating the strap to maintain full contact along the bearing length.
