Brushy Mt. makes (or at least lists and stocks) more 8 frame equipment than anyone I know of including SBB, Imirie shims, triangular bee escapes, top feeders, queen excluders etc. Theirs are 13 3/4" wide with all the other dimensions the same as a standard Langsroth of similar dimensions.

According to Western Bee Supply there are a variety of sizes that have been done in the past.

All of mine are 13 3/4".
