The Steel Network (DT-6ft) DriftTrak® DTSLB - Accommodates vertical deflection and lateral drift for exterior bypass slab conditions for Cold-Formed Steel Framing

Product Description

The DriftTrak® for Bypass system provides an efficient solution for connecting exterior cold-formed steel curtain wall studs to the primary structure while bypassing the slab. This system is engineered to offer flexibility with both drift and rigid connection options, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The DriftTrak DTSLB slide angle allows up to 2" of vertical deflection, while the DriftTrak DTLB rigid angle ensures a fixed, non-deflecting connection. For added customization, a Locking Angle DT-LA can be used to prevent lateral movement when drift is not required, ensuring structural stability.

Product Information

• Sold per piece
• Dimensions:
• Track only, requires DTSL, DTSLB, or DTLB clip
• Application: Connects curtain wall studs to the primary structure while bypassing the slab for efficient installation.
• ICC-ES Approved: DTSLB is certified under report #ESR-2049 for industry-standard compliance.
• Load Handling: Grooved 1” leg on DTSLB passes over fastener heads for ease of installation; DTSLB-HD clips provide higher F2 outward load capacity.
• Drift & Rigid Options: Use DTSLB for up to 2" vertical deflection (1" up and down) or DTLB for a rigid, no-deflection connection.
• Locking Angle: DT-LA locking angle can be added to lock horizontal movement when no drift is required.
• Length Options: DriftTrak is available in 12’ lengths for long spans and fewer joints.
• Patented Technology: Step Bushing Technology ensures friction-free motion for smooth vertical deflection and performance.
• Simplified Installation: Eliminates the need for loose assemblies, heavy deep-leg tracks, and additional bridging or strapping.
• Quality Assurance: Manufactured with certified 50ksi, G90 cold-formed steel in 97mil (DTLB, DTSLB-HD) or 68mil (DTSLB) thicknesses for durability.
• Complete Hardware: Load-rated #12 screws included for secure vertical deflection connections to the stud web.
