Description
RedHeader PRO 600PRO300-68, 6 in web, 3 in flange, 68 mil (14 ga).
One-piece steel header or jamb that replaces boxed headers and built-up jambs around door and window openings.
This product is intended for:
- Door and window rough openings in interior or exterior steel-stud walls, in place of boxed headers and built-up jambs.
- Jobs that want fewer pieces and screws: one header or jamb piece replaces a built-up member.
This product is not intended for:
- Walls without openings. Standard steel studs and track do the job.
- Lighter-duty openings. RedHeader Lite is made for them.
Works with:
- HDSC header brackets. The header slides into the bracket. Brackets are sold in pairs.
- Steel studs for the wall around the opening.
- Screws to fasten.
Choose yours
- Pick the web size to match your wall: 3-5/8, 4, 6 or 8 in.
- Pick a 3 in or 3-1/2 in flange. The 3-1/2 in flange is made in 54 mil and thicker.
- Thicker steel carries more load. 33 and 43 mil use 33 ksi, 54 mil and up use 50 ksi.
- Order headers 1/2 in shorter than the opening so they fit inside the clips.
Key facts
- Replaces boxed or lay-in headers and built-up jambs. Cuts material pieces and screws by up to 50%.
- Slides into the HDSC header bracket. A jamb needs no track or screws to build up.
- Pre-cut headers (4 ft and over) available on minimum quantity orders of 30.
- Standard coating is CP60 per ASTM C955. G90 available.
Install
Slide the header into the clips and fasten to the jambs. Follow the RedHeader PRO catalog for clip placement.
