Product Description

The VertiClip® SLD is a slide angle clip designed to connect metal studs to the deck or primary structure at the top of the wall, allowing for up to 1½” vertical deflection (¾” up and ¾” down). It features TSN’s patented Step Bushing Technology, providing a friction-free, anti-seizure connection between the clip and the stud web surface. Ideal for both fire-rated and non-fire-rated assemblies, this clip simplifies installation by eliminating the need for heavy deep-leg tracks and top-row bridging.
