VertiClip^® Splice

Vertical Deflection & Rigid Wall Tie

Product Application

The VertiClip^® Splice series is used when connecting a bypass rigid stud to structure while simultaneously attaching another wall stud below, allowing up to 2” vertical deflection of the structure. VertiClip Splice provides a tested, cost-effective alternative for connecting 2 non-axial load bearing studs to structure. VertiClip Splice is engineered for use with 6” studs.

Material Composition

ASTM A653/A653M, Grade 50 (340), 50ksi (340 MPa) minimum yield strength, 65ksi (450 MPa) minimum tensile strength, G-90 (Z275) hot-dipped galvanized coating. Material thickness = 14ga (68mils, 0.0713” design thickness).

The attachment of VertiClip to the structure may be made with either a PAF or weld and is dependent upon base material properties and the design configuration.

Note:

For PAF’s, fasten within ¾” from the angle heel centerline of the 1½” leg.
Guide holes for attachment to structure are .164” in diameter.
