 Material Composition
Track and clip material: ASTM A653/A653M, Grade 50 (340),
50ksi (340 MPa) minimum yield strength, 65ksi (450 MPa)
minimum tensile strength, (clip); 33ksi (230MPa) minimum yield
strength, 45ksi (310 MPa) minimum tensile strength (track);
G-60 (Z180) hot-dipped galvanized coating (clip & track). Track
leg length = 1½”. Track and clip 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.
- Fasten through each VertiClip SLD to structure.
VertiTrack VTD is designed to support horizontal loads, and should not be used in
axial-load-bearing walls. VertiTrack VTD is assembled with VertiClip SLD pre-attached
at 16” o.c. and 24” o.c. Custom spacing is also available. Screws and step bushings
are provided for attachment of VertiClip to the stud web.
