The VertiClip® SLS slide clip connects exterior curtain wall studs, bypassing the building’s structural frame while allowing for a vertical deflection of the structure up to 1½” (¾” up and ¾” down). VertiClip’s unique design provides both an anti-friction and anti-seizure connection between the clip and the stud web surface thereby preventing a transfer of vertical forces into curtain wall framing, which is not engineered to support axial loads. Allowable loads are based on the use of two #12 screws for attachment to stud (provided by TSN).
