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(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.
This Connector Features Step Bushing Technology!
Step Bushing Technology is transforming the performance of deflection clips. Designed for optimal movement and reliability, Step Bushings eliminate the need for costly, specialized shoulder screws and the tedious adjustments they require. Instead, they deliver friction-free connections that enable smooth, consistent deflection and exceptional performance.
See the Difference
Watch the video for a side-by-side comparison of a clip deflecting with Step Bushings versus a generic clip using specialized screws. Step Bushing Technology is more than an innovation—it’s a game-changer for efficiency, durability, and simplicity on the job site.

Notes:
- VertiClip SLT 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.
- #12 screws are provided with each step bushing for attachment to the stud web.
- VertiClip SLT9.5 and SLT(S) allow up to 2″ of vertical deflection (1″ up and 1″ down).
- VertiClip SLT(L) allows up to 1-7/8″ of vertical deflection (15/16″ up and 15/16″ down).
- VertiClip SLT(S) Recommended Allowable Loads are based on (4) #12 screws at the stud attachment and either front or rear fastener attachment to the structure, respectively.
- Torsional effects are considered on the screw group for F2 Allowable Loads. All torsion is attributed to the screws, none is attributed to the clip connection to the structure.
- For attachment of VertiClip SLT to structure, it is recommended that fasteners to steel have a 1/2″ minimum edge distance and that fasteners to concrete have a 2-1/4″ minimum edge distance.
