PROVIDE FOR VERTICAL BUILDING MOVEMENT UP TO 3"
ClarkDietrich FastClip™ Slide Clip 68mils (14ga) deflection clips are used to attach exterior curtain-wall studs to the building structure and provide for vertical building movement independent of the cold-formed steel framing. Also available in 97mils (12ga). A FastClip deflection clip installs quickly with screws or powder-actuated fasteners, and provides adjustable standoff to ensure a plumb wall plane. FastClip Deflection Screws are provided with each clip to ensure friction-free sliding. Each clip is also embossed with fastening patterns to ensure accurate placement of fasteners.
- Vertical movement up to 3" (1-1/2" up and 1-1/2" down).
- 5-1/2" FastClip™ permits up to 2" of standoff from the primary frame.
- FastClip™ Deflection Screws (included) provide frictionless slip connection.
