DriftClip® DSLD (Drift Slide Angle Drywall, Interior Head of Wall) is used as a drift slide angle to connect exterior cold-formed steel curtain wall studs to the primary structure at the head of wall, while allowing for up to 2″ vertical deflection(1″ up and down) and 2″ lateral drift (1″ left and right-in-plane).
TSN’s patented Step Bushing Technology provides an anti-friction and anti-seizure connection between the clip and both the stud web surface and track.
DriftClip® DSLD Features
- Load rated positive mechanical attachment at each stud.
- Patented Step Bushing Technology provides friction-free motion for smooth vertical deflection
- Eliminates loose friction-held assemblies, heavy deep-leg track and top row of wall bridging/strapping
- Load rated #12 screws provided for vertical deflection connection to stud web
- Manufactured with certified, 50ksi, 33 mil, G90 cold-formed steel
- If more than 2″ lateral drift is required, contact us for a custom solution from TSN.
