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; it allows 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, 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
