• Braces can be used on the inside or outside of the structure
• All braces have additional length adjustment to simplify final plumbing
• Complies to ASCE 37-02 and ASCE 7-10 regarding basic wind speeds
• Engineered to be used with Meadow Burke’s Badger, Slam Anchor, MB Brace Bolt and Brace Insert
