ABSTRACT:
The kerfed edges of wall panels attached to H-studs by engagement of the stud flanges within the kerfs are protected against breakage by panel bracing ribs installed within the wall cavity by insertion of the ribs into apertures located in the webs of the studs. Said ribs are bowed wafers of plastic or other flexible material having a notched tab at each end. Insertion of the vertically oriented tabs into said apertures and rotation of the bow to orient said tabs horizontally secures the bracing rib to the stud.
