Nomenclature:
VertiClip Splice is designated by multiplying stud depth by 100.
Example: 6″ stud
Designate: VertiClip® Splice600
*Clip shown is a left version of VeritClip Splice. Right side versions can be made as a custom part.
Material Composition
ASTM A1003/A1003M Structural Grade 50 (340) Type H, ST50H (ST340H): 50ksi (340MPa) minimum yield strength, 65ksi (450MPa) minimum tensile strength, 68mil minimum thickness (14 gauge, 0.0713” design thickness) with ASTM A653/A653M G90 (Z275) hot dipped galvanized coating.
Catalogs
TSN’s Product Catalogs are an essential resource for the design of cold formed steel. Developed by Engineers, the catalogs contain design data for members, connectors, and fasteners. VertiClip® Splice can be found in the following Catalogs:

Blast & Seismic Design
The Steel Network is the only connector manufacturer in the US that has rated its connector products for special seismic and blast design by providing tables with LRFD design strength, nominal strength and ultimate strength for each connector.

VertiClip® Splice Applications
The attachment of VertiClip 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.

VertiClip® Splice Installation Instructions
- Attach VertiClip Splice to structure with approved fasteners.
- Attach rigid stud to clip using required screws.
- Attach bottom stud to clip with provided screws through step bushings.
VertiClip® Splice Allowable Loads:
Load Table Notes:
- Design loads are for attachment of VertiClip Splice to stud only. Load tables reflect horizontal loads (F2) and vertical loads (F3).
- Design loads consider loads on the clip and #12 screw fasteners to the stud web.
- Loads listed reflect force in a single direction. When multiple loads react on the connection, it is the responsibility of the designer to check the interaction of forces.
- Torsional effects are considered on screw group for F3 allowable loads. It is assumed that half of the torsional moment is taken by the connection to the structure and half is taken by the connection to the stud.
- Attachment to structure engineered by others.
- Allowable loads have not been increased for wind, seismic, or other factors.
- Total vertical deflection of up to 2″ (1″ up and 1″ down). Deflection requirements greater than 1″ up and down are available.
- Fasten withn 3/4″ from the angle heel (centerline of the 1-1/2″ leg) to minimize eccentric load transfer.
- For LRFD strengths contact TSN technical services.
