Hilti Seismic Brace System: This system consists of 3 components, MQS-SP-L as described
above, a length of Hilti 1 5/8” 12ga Strut (designated Hilti HS158) and an MQS-RH retrofit
hinge attached to any 3/8” or ½” threaded rod for bracing an in-situ trapeze or simple threaded
rod hanger. The Hilti Seismic Brace can be used individually or used in conjunction, to provide
both Transverse AND Longitudinal bracing at any location. The braces may be used for
installations between 45° and 90° (measured from vertical). When installed at 90°, the brace
must be attached to a vertical surface, such as a wall or column. When transverse and
longitudinal braces occur at one location, the longitudinal brace shall be installed beneath the
transverse brace.
