DriftTrak® Headed Stud saves the time and expense of installing DriftTrak after the concrete slab has been poured, by integrating it directly into the slab before pouring. The headed studs come preinstalled to the DriftTrak and function as the attachment to the slab instead of welding to the pour stop angle and use of PAF’s or anchors. Once concrete is poured, the DriftTrak is ready to support exterior steel framing using any DriftTrak Bypass clip (DTSLB-HD or DTLB-HD) to accommodate vertical deflection and lateral drift requirements or provide a rigid attachment to the floor slab.
As with standard DriftTrak, DriftTrak Headed Stud also simplifies panel installation by allowing the installer to twist DrifTrak Bypass clips onto the DriftTrak as the prefabricated wall panel is hoisted into position, so they can be quickly and easily aligned to studs for attachment before the crane is unlocked from the panel. Vertical deflection and drift movement can be left intact or a locking angle can be installed to prevent lateral drift if not required.
