Stud Shoe 16-Ga Steel Galvanized/Zinc - Simpson Strong-Tie SS1.5 (3-PACK) The Simpson Strong-Tie SS1.5 stud shoe is a 16-gauge galvanized steel reinforcement bracket designed to restore structural integrity to notched or drilled studs in wood-frame construction. Measuring 1-9/16 inches wide by 6 inches tall, it wraps around the face and sides of a standard 2x stud, allowing safe routing of pipes or conduits up to 2-3/8 inches in outside diameter without compromising load-bearing capacity. Engineered to support up to 500 pounds, this stud shoe is not intended to fully replace removed wood but to redistribute stress and maintain code-compliant strength where field modifications are necessary. The corrosion-resistant galvanized/zinc finish ensures durability in both interior and protected exterior applications, while pre-punched holes accept standard 10d nails or structural screws for quick, secure installation.

Product Application This stud shoe is used by framers, contractors, and DIY builders when plumbing, electrical, or HVAC installations require notching or drilling through load-bearing or non-load-bearing 2x wall studs. It is commonly installed in bathrooms, kitchens, and utility walls where pipes or conduits must pass through studs without weakening the wall structure. By reinforcing the compromised section, the SS1.5 helps maintain the wall?s ability to transfer vertical loads and resist lateral forces, ensuring compliance with residential building codes. Its robust galvanized construction makes it suitable for use in garages, basements, and other semi-exposed areas where moisture resistance is needed. Trusted on job sites nationwide, this connector delivers engineered strength, installation efficiency, and long-term reliability in wood-framed construction.
