GripClip®

GripClip® is an innovative device to attach drywall and sheathing materials to a column or beam. With its patented snap-tabs GripClip allows for the easy attachment of continuous angle along the corner of the column or beam for easier installation of drywall or sheathing.
Features
  • ‘Snap tabs’ accept the continuous angle for fast installation
  • Use in fire-rated and non-fire-rated assemblies
  • Manufactured from certified, 50ksi steel
  • Clip ‘grips’ the column or beam
  • Grips on flanges of steel columns and beams for gypsum board attachment.
  • Saves material and time vs. stud framing.
  • Corner angle snaps into place without using screws
  • Accommodates flange thickness from ÂĽ” to 1″.
  • 33mil minimum thickness, G90 coating vs. 18 mil, G40 for competitor products.
Material Composition

ASTM A1003/A1003M Structural Grade 50, 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 G90 (Z275) hot dipped galvanized coating.
