New Chicago Metallic™ ‘two-for-one’ Wall and Bridging bracket for T Profiles

Saves you time and money
Our new, easy to use Wall and Bridging bracket (WBBT) for T profiles is a multipurpose accessory that was created with the installer in mind. It is a two in one tool that enables you to fix our main runners and cross tees to walls or simplify service integration without the hassle and worry of tile deflection.

Making connections
WBBT is a hassle-free time saver which allows you to secure and stabilise your main runners and cross tees to the wall or another T profile. Its functionality and design offers trouble-free installation with its new oblong mounting slot. Replacing the traditional fixing hole, the new design is more flexible when securing the squareness of the grid and enables small adjustments to its position. In other words, it eliminates the irritation of marking the wall or your T profile before drilling – saving you time on site.

There are two mounting slots, one on the upper and another on the lower side of the bracket, to improve flexibility and make it easier to fasten your T profiles to the wall. The mounting slot at the bottom of the bracket allows you to fix your grid to the wall even if there is an obstruction. This small design feature has a substantial advantage as it means that you won’t have to find an ad-hoc solution to properly secure your ceiling.

Building bridges
The bridging bracket feature is a straightforward, adjustable and easy solution that has been designed to streamline service integrations behind the ceiling. The bracket is a versatile, non-combustible accessory and can be used for services with different dimensions, avoiding the need to use yokes or pattresses.

To install the Bridging function of the bracket, simply screw fasten the WBBT to your main runners and cross tees, transferring the weight of the service to the grid. This ensures that no load rests on the tile, eliminating deflection worries.

Perfectly optimised for our Rockfon® Systems, the bridging bracket feature enables you to secure your T profiles across a variety of tile thicknesses and service dimensions.
