How the Tesla SBV Versatile Stud Bracket is Used

The Tesla SBV Versatile Stud Bracket provides a flat metal fixing plate for mounting wall accessories to timber or metal stud framing. At 153mm × 92mm it is larger than the standard SB stud bracket (130mm × 73mm), providing more surface area for fixing to the framing member and more flexibility in positioning across different stud sizes and framing configurations. The flat profile (1mm depth) makes it adaptable to a range of mounting orientations, allowing the bracket to be positioned and fixed in ways that suit the particular framing layout and setout requirements of the installation.

The SBV attaches to timber framing using wood screws through the bracket's fixing holes and to metal stud framing using Tek screws or rivets — the same dual-material fixing capability as the standard SB. The 85mm fixing centres suit standard Australian wall plates (which typically have slotted fixing holes that accommodate minor dimensional variation), with the slots in the plate providing the adjustment range to align correctly with the SBV's 85mm centres.

The Tesla metal bracket range covers nail brackets (NBH, NBV — nail to face of stud), stud brackets (SB — right angle, side of stud), and the versatile stud bracket (SBV — flat, adaptable) for different framing methods and installation requirements. Choose the bracket type that suits the framing configuration and wall plate setout of the installation.

Q: What is the difference between SBV and SB?
A: The SB is a right angle stud bracket (39mm deep) that screws to the side of a stud and presents the fixing centres offset from the stud face. The SBV is a flat bracket (1mm deep, 153mm × 92mm) with 85mm fixing centres — larger and more adaptable in orientation but without the offset depth of the SB. Choose based on the fixing method and setout depth required.

Q: Can the SBV be used on metal stud framing?
A: Yes — the SBV suits metal stud framing using Tek screws or rivets, as well as timber framing using wood screws.

Q: Why are the fixing centres 85mm instead of the standard 84mm?
A: The SBV has 85mm fixing centres. Standard Australian wall plates have slotted fixing holes that accommodate a small range of centre spacing — both 84mm and 85mm centres are within the typical slot range of standard plates, so the SBV suits all standard Australian power points, light switches, and wall accessories.
