OEG U-Channel is a general purpose framing component commonly used where bridging is required. It can be either fastened or welded onto the stud. It prevents minor axis bending of vertical studs under axial and wind loads. When used as lateral bracing, U-channel should be placed at a maximum 48” O.C.

OEG U-Channel can also be used in drop ceilings assemblies in conjunction with OEG Furring Hat Channel, where they are suspended from the overhead structure using hangar wires.
