The StiffClip® TD (Uplift Tie Down) series by The Steel Network’s unique design allows for anchoring steel studs to the foundation, incorporating a .75″ steel stiffening plate for strength. StiffClip® TD resists vertical uplift loads to solve wall stud tie-downs effectively 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 the deck and the stud increase the installers’ efficiency.
The designed attachment of StiffClip® to the primary structure depends upon the properties of the base materials (e.g., steel or concrete) and the design configuration.
