StiffClip® HS
The StiffClip HS series is used when connecting headers or sills to jambs. StiffClip HS transfers horizontal loads from the header to the jamb while incorporating a shelf leg for alignment of the JamStud header during installation. StiffClip HS is designed to be used with a single TSN JamStud with a 2.5″, 3″ or 3.5″ flange as the header or sill member.
Features
- Guide holes for connections to column and JamStud, box header or sill
- Resists vertical and horizontal loads
- Acts as a web stiffener
- Quick installation
- Reduces material (no jack studs or caps required)
- Reduces labor expenses
