To find a matching strap for a certain beam style, go to that beam style page and scroll down. The straps will be right below the beams.

Installing Rubber Straps
1.		2.		3.
Cut the strap to the needed length with scissors.		Apply an adhesive (such as PL Premium Construction Adhesive or Clear Liquid Nails) to the back of the strap.		Apply the strap using firm pressure to the desired location.
4.		5.
Use pins to hold the strap in place while the glue is drying.		Let the glue dry for approx. 24 hours before removing the pins.
Installing Solid Straps
1.		2.		3.
Make sure your strap slides over your beam freely.		Put Construction Adhesive on the inside of strap.		Slide strap over the beam in desired location.
4.		5.
Put trim head or finishing screws through the holes of the straps.		You can use black caulking or filler to hide screw heads.
Installing Straight Straps
1.		2.		3.
DS-412A or B Universal Straight Strap installs much the same way. However, the location of where you can use these is as limitless as your imagination.		Because there is a nut side and a bolt side you generally want to mount the complimentary strap on the opposite side of the beam.
