A:  Hello. RTR connector may not work if you plan on connecting vertical studs edge-to-edge. RTR is meant to connect a 2x lumber (strapping) that is oriented horizontally to the narrow edge of a vertical stud. You may want to discuss this with your contractor. Regards.

    Answer This Question

    A:  RTR could be used for strapping connections but we do not load rate RTR connectors so it is difficult to say how many are required for this installation. This decision should be made by a qualified designer or installer.
