Product Application
|
VertiClip® SL connects the exterior curtain wall studs at head of wall to
the building frame while allowing for vertical deflection of the structure
up to 1½” (¾” up and down). VertiClip’s unique design provides both an
anti-friction and anti-seizure connection between the clip and the stud
web surface thereby preventing a transfer of vertical forces into
curtain wall framing, which is not engineered to support axial loads.
Use of VertiClip SL over friction-fit track assemblies helps protect liability
through the utilization of positive mechanical attachments to the web
of the stud. VertiClip SL is a component of VertiTrack® VTX, our preassembled
deflection track
Click Here to View. Allowable loads are based
on use of two #12 screws for attachment to stud (provided by TSN).

 Material Composition
ASTM A653/A653M, Grade 50 (340), 50ksi (340 MPa) minimum yield strength, 65ksi (450
MPa) minimum tensile strength, G-90 (Z275) hot-dipped galvanized coating. Material
thickness = 68mil (14 gauge, 0.0713” design thickness).
The attachment of VertiClip to the primary structure may be made with PAF or weld
and is dependent upon the base material (steel or concrete) and the design configuration.
Allowable load tables incorporate eccentric loading of fasteners. Values with welded
connection may increase.
Note:
- Fasten within ¾” from the angle heel (centerline of the 1½” leg) to minimize eccentric
load transfer.
- Guide holes for attachment to structure are .172” in diameter, and are standard
for SL362, and SL600.
- Deflection requirements greater than ¾” (up and down) are available.
VertiClip SL series is designed to support horizontal loads and should not be used
in axial-load-bearing wall construction.

VertiClip SL Installation
|
|
- Attach 20ga standard leg track to structure. Track will allow for alignment and
closure.
- Fasten SL to top track at designed stud spacing with engineered fastener.
- Attach SL to wall stud with provided screws through Step Bushings.
|
Quality Features
-
Load-rated positive mechanical attachment at each stud
-
Eliminates friction-held assemblies
-
Utilizes only mill-certified, 50ksi steel
-
Step Bushings pre-installed for accurate placement
-
Load rated screws provided for each VertiClip
-
Meets all building code criteria
-
Adaptable for multiple configurations
Labor Benefits
-
Top of wall bridging or strapping is eliminated
-
Top track lightweight for easy handling (not a structural element, may be 20ga standard
leg - Deep-Leg Track is not required)
-
Utilize clips for wall layout
-
Eliminates temporary screws

VertiClip SL
Nomenclature
To designate the proper clip on drawings, multiply stud depth by 100. VertiClip
SL is sized to match stud depth.
Example: 6” stud.
Designate SL600.

Allowable loads have not been increased for wind, seismic, or other factors.
- Two #12 screws are provided with each VertiClip SL.
- If loads justify use of a third screw, TSN will provide 3 slots and 3 screws with
each clip.
