developed with the aid of professional engineers and is specifically developed for use with the Hog
Leg system. EZG Manufacturing makes no implications for use with other systems and complies with
the Standard Practice for Bracing Masonry Walls Under Construction under reference to C1.5 page 29.

Bracing Masonry Walls Under Construction or contact a licensed Professional Engineer familiar
