VertiClip® SLT
VertiClip’s unique design provides both an anti-friction and anti-seizure connection between the clip and stud web surface thereby preventing a transfer of vertical forces into curtain wall framing, which is not engineered to support axial loads. Allowable loads are based on use of #12 screws for attachment to stud (provided by TSN).
Features
- Load-rated positive mechanical attachment at each stud
- Step Bushings pre-installed for accurate placement
- Eliminates loose friction-held assemblies, heavy deep-leg track, & the 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:
VertiClip SLT is available in a length of 9 ½”. VertiClip SLT(S) is available in a length of 12″. VertiClip SLT(L) is available in lengths of 12”, 15”, and 18”.Determine length by adding stud + offset + 3″ for steel (5.5″ for concrete) and selecting the next largest size.
Example:6″ stud, 4″ offset + 3″

VertiClip® SLT Applications
The attachment of VertiClip SLT to the primary structure may be made with a PAF, screw/bolt anchors or weld and is dependent upon the base material (steel or concrete) and the design configuration.
SLT
SLT(L)
SLT(S)
Installation Instructions
- Attach SLT to top of slab with engineered attachment. Allow 4” minimum clip area for attachment to slab.
- Align studs to SLT for plumb wall assembly.
- Attach SLT to wall stud with provided screws through Step Bushings.
Allowable Loads
Notes:
- VertiClip SLT series is designed to support horizontal loads and must not be used in axial-load-bearing wall construction.
- Allowable loads have not been increased for wind, seismic, or other factors.
- #12 screws are provided with each Step Bushing.
- VertiClip SLT & SLT(S) allow up to 2” of vertical deflection (1”up and 1” down).
- VertiClip SLT(L) allows up to 1.875” of vertical deflection (0.938” up and 0.938” down)
VertiClip SLT(S) Recommended Allowable Loads are based on 4 #12 screws at the stud attachment and either front or rear fastener attachment at the structure respectfully. - Torsional effects are considered on screw group for F2 allowable loads. All torsion attributed to screws, none to the clip connection to structure.
- VertiClip SLT is recommended to have for steel attachment a ½” minimum edge distance from fasteners and for concrete attachment a 2 ¼” minimum edge distance from fasteners.
