ReSTORES structural integrity of steel framing with field modified openings
The MEP Flange Repair Clip is designed to provide strength and stiffness to framing members that are modified or field cut at the job site with oversized cutouts on the flange and/or web of the member.
The MEP Flange Repair is a one-piece component designed to restore strength and stiffness to cold-formed steel framing members that have been field modified at the job site. It repairs damaged or cut flanges and reinforces oversized web openings, helping return the framing member to its intended structural performance.
The single-piece design allows for efficient installation around installed MEP components, making it ideal for corrective field conditions. The MEP Flange Repair restores structural integrity in steel framing members with oversized or improperly located openings.
- Multiple Sizes for Common Stud Depths
- Available for use with 3-5/8" framing and 6" framing to match typical wall assemblies.
- Drywall and Structural Stud Applications
- Offered in two steel thicknesses to accommodate both drywall studs and structural studs.

MEP Flange Repair Clip
Installation
Installing the ClarkDietrich MEP Flange Repair in accordance with the following guidelines will return the stud member to its original flexural strength, shear strength, and stiffness.
- The cutout may not exceed 4 inches in height and must maintain at least 1/2 inch of web intact.
- Place the MEP Flange Repair on the inside web of the framing member, aligning the part over the field-modified opening and damaged flange area. Ensure the repair is centered on the stud.
- Secure the MEP Flange Repair using eight (8) #10 self-drilling fasteners to the web and four (4) #10 self-drilling fasteners to the flange.
- All fasteners shall be located ½" from the cut edges of the repair component (both web and flanges).
- Fasteners shall be centered to the stud flanges to ensure proper load transfer.
- Installation shall not interfere with installed MEP components.
