Simpson Strong-Tie Introduces the SNRK: Strengthen and Protect Notched Joists

Simpson Strong-Tie would like to introduce the SNRK Solid Joist Notch Reinforcement Kit, a game-changer for installers tasked with notching timber joists to run pipes or electrical cables.

Notching timber joists is often necessary, especially in bathrooms, to allow services to pass through the void between the upper floor and the ceiling below. However, notches can compromise the strength of the joist and leave pipes or cables vulnerable to accidental damage from screws or nails during flooring installation. The SNRK restores strength and stiffness to notched joists, giving you peace of mind that your installation is both safe and compliant.

Why Choose the SNRK Kit?

• Reinforcement Made Simple: The engineered steel reinforcement bracket strengthens notched joists effectively. Its bendable leg makes it easy to fit around existing services.
• Accident Prevention: The top plate covers the notch, preventing flooring screws or nails from penetrating pipes or cables beneath.
• Versatile and Convenient: The SNRK is perfect for both retrofit projects and new installations, with no added time to your workflow. It can be used on up to 5 notched floor joists per kit.

By integrating the SNRK Kit into your projects, you ensure the structural integrity of notched joists and protect services from costly and time-consuming damage. It’s a reliable, installer-friendly solution designed to keep your work safe and efficient.
