The Steel Network, DriftClip® DSLB (Drift Slide Angle Drywall, Exterior Head of Wall) is used to connect exterior cold-formed steel curtain wall studs to the slab, bypassing the primary structure while allowing for vertical deflection 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, stud web surface, and track.
Note: DSLB 362/400 is 3.75 inches by 3.625 inches, DSLB 600 is 3.75 inches by 6 inches, and DSLB 800 is 3.75 inches by 8 inches.
