INTRODUCING:

TRUSSES THAT CAN SPACE AND BRACE THEMSELVES

With the GR-1 Self-Storing Component Brace by GERRYRIGS LLC.
The GR-1 is a spacing and bracing device for use in erecting wood or metal roof trusses or similar structural members, such as ceiling or floor joists, normally placed on regular centers. Fabricated from sheet metal and configured as a channel or “U” in order to nest over the truss or joist allows the GR-1 to be in a “stored position” on the truss or joist PRIOR to member placement in the building system. This unique feature results in greater safety, economy, and speed of unit installation.
Installed on the truss at the point of fabrication or on site prior to unit placement, use of the GR-1 means that bracing materials need not be procured, measured, cut, carried, passed up and secured in elevated unstable workspace, or moved forward as the truss system is set. Roof sheathing installs over the GR-1 so no labor is lost to remove, gather, clean or dispose of used bracing material.
The GR-1 is self-spacing, self-squaring, crimped into place with a hammer blow and then securely nailed. Available in 18 or 20 gauge galvanized steel the GR-1 can also be used for bottom chord bracing and for intermediate web member stiffening normally required in larger truss designs.
There are other products in the market for the spacing of trusses, but only the GERRYRIGS GR-1 Self-Storing Component Brace provides the ease of use that makes the process of erecting trusses safer and faster. The GR-1 is USER FRIENDLY.
Load Rated by SBCRI, GR-1 is certified to meet or exceed BCSI recommendations.
