The StiffClip® TD (Uplift Tie Down) series by The Steel Network unique design allows for the anchoring of steel studs to the foundation incorporating a .75” steel stiffening plate for strength. StiffClip® TD resists vertical uplift loads for an effective solution in wall stud tie-downs or as the anchorage component in conventional, strap/gusset-plate shear wall construction.
The allowable design load table is based on the use of StiffClip® TD as it is attached to various steel stud wall material thicknesses and yield strengths. Allowable loads consider loads on the clip and screw fasteners to the stud web.
Pre-drilled holes for attachments to both deck and the stud provide installers with increased efficiency.
The designed attachment of StiffClip® to the primary structure is dependent upon the base materials properties (e.g. steel or concrete) and the design configuration.
