VertiTrack® VTD
This deflection track system with preinstalled VertiClip® SLD’s, is used to connect the interior/exterior metal studs at head of wall to the primary structure while allowing for a vertical deflection of the structure up to 1½” (¾” up & ¾” down). A VertiClip® SLD is pre-installed to the track at 16” or 24”o.c. TSN’s patented Step Bushing Technology® provides an anti-friction and anti-seizure connection between the clip and the stud web surface.
Features
- NY MEA Approved, report #326-06-M
- Pre-installed clip saves time installing clips and spacing studs
- Load-rated positive mechanical attachment at each stud
- Patented Step Bushing Technology® provides friction-free motion for smooth vertical deflection
- Eliminates loose friction-held assemblies, heavy deep-leg track, & top row of wall bridging/strapping
- Load-rated #12 screws provided for vertical deflection connection to stud web
- Manufactured with certified, 68mil, 50ksi cold-formed steel

Nomenclature:
VertiTrack VTD is manufactured in 12 ft. lengths. VertiTrack is designated by type (VTD), followed by stud depth in inches multiplied by 100 and stud spacing.
Example:6″ deep stud, 16″ on center
Designate:VertiTrack® VTD600-16
Material Composition
Clip Material: ASTM A1003/A1003M Structural Grade 50 (340) Type H, ST50H (ST340H): 50ksi (340MPa) minimum yield strength, 65ksi (450MPa) minimum tensile strength, 33mil minimum thickness (20 gauge, 0.0346” design thickness) with ASTM A653/A653M G60 (Z180) hot dipped galvanized coating.
Track Material: ASTM A1003/A1003M Structural Grade 33 (230) Type H, ST33H (ST230H): 33ksi (230MPa) minimum yield strength, 45ksi (310MPa) minimum tensile strength, 33mil minimum thickness (20 gauge, 0.0346” design thickness) with ASTM A653/A653M G60 (Z180) hot dipped galvanized coating.

VertiTrack® VTD Applications
The attachment of VertiTrack VTD to the primary structure may be made with PAFs, screw/bolt anchors or weld and is dependent upon the base material (steel or concrete) and the design configuration.
1½” Deflection - Interior or Exterior Head of Wall
Installation Instructions
- Attach VertiTrack VTD to deck with approved fasteners.
- Attach VertiClip through Step Bushings to wall studs with self-drilling screws provided.

Notes:
- VertiTrack VTD loads are the same as VertiClip SLD.
- VertiTrack VTD is assembled with the VertiClip SLD pre-attached at 16″ o.c. or 24″ o.c.
- VertiTrack VTD is designed to support horizontal loads, and should not be used in axial load-bearing walls.
- Allowable loads have not been increased for wind, seismic, or other factors.
- Strengthening ribs are present in 3-5/8″ and 6″ sizes.
- #8 screws are provided with each step bushing for attachment to the stud web.
- Fasten through each Verticlip SLD to structure.
- Fasten within 3/4″ of the angle heel (centerline of the 1-1/2″ leg) to minimize eccentric load transfer.
- Total vertical deflection of up to 1-1/2″ (3/4″ up and 3/4″ down). Deflection requirements greater than 3/4″ (up and down) are available. Custom spacing is also available.
- For LRFD strengths contact TSN technical services.
