Designed to accommodate vertical movement, this plate connects steel studs while preventing the transfer of vertical loads. It is ideal for conditions where one stud projects beyond another or where a stud terminates at the face of a concrete pier or column. When the attachment surface aligns with the stud web, the plate allows for direct fastening, reducing the need for added materials or framing buildup commonly required with traditional connectors.
Key Features
- Vertical movement up to 2-1/2” (1-1/4” up and 1-1/4” down)
- Reduces framing buildup
- Proprietary Deflection Screws included
