DriftClip® DSLD Interior Head Of Wall

  Product Application  

DriftClip® DSLD is available to accommodate interior head of wall vertical deflection and lateral drift requirements. Step Bushings pre-installed in vertical slots allow up to 2” vertical deflection (1” up and down). Horizontal slots accommodate 2” lateral drift (1” left and right--in-plane), with Step Bushings also pre-installed during the manufacturing process. Load tables are provided for attachment to stud. If more than 2” lateral drift is required, contact TSN engineering for more information.

  Material Composition  

Steel: ASTM A653/A653M, Grade 50 (340), 50ksi (340MPa) minimum yield strength, 65ksi (450MPa) minimum tensile strength, G-60 (Z180) hot-dipped galvanized coating. Standard DSLD thickness is 33 mil (0.036” design thickness).

The attachment of DriftClip to the primary structure is dependent upon the base material (steel or concrete) and the design configuration. The step bushing is optimized for use of a #8 (.164") fastener.

Allowable (Unfactored1) Loads

Fastener Pattern 1 replicates a condition of out-of-plane wind or seismic force with no vertical live load deflection or in-plane drift.

Fastener Pattern 2 replicates a condition of out-of-plane wind or seismic force with full vertical live load deflection and full in-plane drift.

     1 For LRFD Design Strengths refer to ICC-ESR-2049.
  • Load tables reflect horizontal loads (F2).
  • Design loads are for attachment of DriftClip DSLD to stud only.
  • Attachment to structure engineered by others.
  • Allowable loads have not been increased for wind, seismic, or other factors
  • Two #8 screws are provided with each DriftClip DSLD for attachment to stud.
