The Steel Network TSN DriftClip® DSL (Drift Slide Angle Exterior Head of Wall) connects exterior cold-formed steel curtain wall studs to the slab at the head of wall while allowing for 2″ vertical deflection (1″ up and down) and 2″ lateral drift (1″ left and right-in-plane). TSN’s patented Step Up Bushing Technology provides an anti-friction and anti-seizure connection between the clip and both the stud web surface and track.
