Product Application
|
VertiClip® SLD connects the interior drywall studs at the head condition
(top of wall) to the deck or primary frame while allowing for a total vertical deflection
of up to 1½” (¾” up and ¾” 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 drywall partition wall framing, which is not designed to support
axial loads. VertiClip SLD is a component in VertiTrack® VTD, TSN’s
pre-assembled deflection
track Click Here to View. Allowable loads
are based on use of two #8 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- 60 (Z180) hot-dipped galvanized coating. Material
thickness = 33mil (20 gauge, 0.0346” design thickness).
The attachment of VertiClip to the primary structure may be made with a PAF and
is dependent upon the base material (steel or concrete) and the design configuration.
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 SLD362 and SLD600.
- Deflection requirements greater than ¾” (up and down) are available.
VertiClip® SLD series is designed to support horizontal loads and
should not be used in axial-load-bearing wall construction.
