ALLOWS FOR VERTICAL BUILDING MOVEMENT AND PROVIDES A HORIZONTAL STANDOFF
ClarkDietrich Flat Tail™ Slide Clip is used to attach exterior curtain-wall studs to the building structure and provide for 2-1/4" vertical building movement independent of the coldformed steel framing. A Flat Tail Slide Clip provides variable standoff and eliminates the need for shims or additional framing components. The clip easily fastens to the floor/ceiling beam and is secured to the stud with ClarkDietrich proprietary deflection screws. The clip restricts lateral movement, but enables vertical building movement.
- Right handed version
- Ideal for variable standoff conditions
- Vertical movement up to 2-1/4” (1-1/8” up and 1-1/8” down)
- FastClip™ Deflection Screws (included) provide frictionless slip connection
DESIGN GUIDES:
It is the responsibility of the design professional to detail the attachment of the clips and verify that their capacity meets the requirements of the intended application.
Allowable Clip loads based on using the following attachments to the structure:
- Clip attachment to structure by others
(Allowable loads based on stud connection only) - Attachment to structure using welds
- Attachment to structure using 1/4-28 Fasteners into steel
- Attachment to structure using #12-24 Fasteners into steel
- Attachment to structure using PAFs into steel
- Attachment to structure using HILTI KWIK into concrete
