Sioux Chief 523-1620 Power Bar Bracket 9-16 in 2 Clamps

Product Description

The SIOUX CHIEF 523-1620 is a stub-out power bar bracket designed to secure supply stub-outs in residential and light commercial plumbing rough-in work. The bracket spans framing cavities from 9 to 16 inches, making it compatible with standard stud spacing configurations. It includes two Touchdown clamps that grip copper or plastic stub-out lines firmly, keeping supply lines aligned and vibration-free before wall finish is applied. At 0.36 pounds, the assembly is lightweight and easy to handle in tight framing bays. Plumbers use this bracket to eliminate movement in stub-out pairs, which reduces noise and prevents joint stress over time.

This bracket is used during the rough-in phase of residential and light commercial plumbing installations. It is positioned between wall studs or framing members to hold paired supply stub-outs in place prior to trim-out. The adjustable span from 9 to 16 inches accommodates both standard 16-inch on-center and closer stud layouts. The two included Touchdown clamps provide individual line retention without requiring separate hardware. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this bracket as part of a neat, code-friendly rough-in that keeps stub-out spacing consistent for valve and fixture trim installation.

Installation Notes

Installed by licensed plumbers during the rough-in phase before drywall or wall finish is applied. Shut off the water supply and depressurize lines before positioning clamps on existing stub-outs.
