ClarkDietrich RTC-54 RIPTRAK™ CLIP 16G (box of 100)
Product Description
BlazeFrame RipTRAK is a deflection track that has an offset shoulder corresponding to the thickness of gypsum board (5/8" or 1-1/4”). A second piece of gypsum board (drywall) is fit flush to the underside of the slab (w/sealant) or to a fluted deck (without castle cuts & sealant), and is then fastened to the shoulder. This allows the roof/floor assembly and the BlazeFrame RipTRAK to move in relation to the wall assembly. This also allows the wall cladding strips (the rip board) that is attached to the BlazeFrame RipTRAK to slide over the primary wall assembly. The BlazeFrame RipTRAK is the only UL tested fire-rated head of wall joint system that offers an alternate listing by eliminating castle cuts and sealant. For installations needing RipTRAK Clips (RTC) to meet allowable loads, secure them to both inside bottom legs of BlazeFrame RipTRAK using two #8 by 1/2" (13mm) long steel self-drilling framing screws, engaging the short flange of the studs. This reinforcement enhances the stud-to-track connection while still allowing deflection. RipTRAK Clip 20ga is recommended for drywall studs. RipTRAK Clip 16ga is recommended for structural studs.
