Rigid Bracing System Attachments

When it comes to seismic rigid bracing system attachments for single hung pipe, duct, cable tray or any trapeze hung system, TOLCO seismic bracing products lead the industry with patented, innovative solutions to reduce installation time by up to 50%. 

Helps eliminate the need for seismic bracing kits with common brace assemblies for both lateral and longitudinal brace locations. Helps reduce installation and inspection time with built-in visual verification features.

Rigid bracing systems require half the number of braces as cable bracing systems, dramatically reducing installation time as well as the number of stress points on the structure.

TOLCO Fig. 980 universal swivel sway brace upper attachment

One of the most trusted seismic bracing attachments in the market, the TOLCO Fig. 980 is designed to attach to the structure or structural attachment and is used with strut channel or pipe as the brace member. 

It features a concentric attachment opening which is critical to the performance of structural seismic connections.  Also features a smaller profile jaw of stamped steel for installation in limited space applications. Mounts to any surface angle and includes break-off bolt head that helps ensure verification of proper torque and installation. 

Tested and UL listed to the new UL203A standard for a 2.2 safety factor rating and improved load ratings.

TOLCO Fig. 981 universal sway brace lower attachment

Designed to attach to the hanger rod and is used with strut channel or pipe as the brace member.

The unique “Fast-Attach” yoke design fits multiple rod sizes and allows for quick installation of the yoke to the hanger rod for both new and retrofit installations.   Tightening the cone point set screw until the head breaks off ensures proper installation of the rod at the correct torque.

The stackable design allows installation of both lateral and longitudinal braces to be easily installed on a single hanger rod, with no disassembly. 

TOLCO Fig. 986 mechanical fast clamp upper attachment

Helps eliminate the need to cut rigid brace members to exact lengths when using adjustable seismic brace attachments. The unique design is unlike any other on the market with 6” of brace member length adjustability. When coupled with the Fig. 985 lower attachment, they provide up to 12” of total adjustable brace length. 

Designed to attach to the structure or structural attachment and is used with strut channel or pipe as the brace member. Break off bolt head helps ensure verification of proper torque and installation.

TOLCO Fig. 4L sway brace attachment

TOLCO Fig. 4L is designed to attach to system pipe from 1 to 12” and is used with strut channel or pipe as the brace member. Approved as both a longitudinal and lateral brace, allows for the consolidation of the number of brace configurations to a single product. 

Break-off bolt heads at the pipe clamp and brace member connection helps provide visual verification of proper torque and installation. Also features a smaller profile jaw of stamped steel for installation in limited space applications. Also, available in metric pipe sizes.

Tested and UL Listed to the new UL203A standard for a 2.2 safety factor rating and improved load ratings.
