USED FOR LARGE STANDOFF CONDITIONS
ClarkDietrich Fast Strut™ curtain-wall connector employs the Fast Clip™ technology for curtain-wall stud attachment and is commonly used when large stand-off conditions exist. Fast Strut™ products are available in standard lengths of 12-1/4" to 24" long to allow framing attachment well beyond the perimeter of the structural steel or when the spandrel beams are set back from the edge of the structure. Struts are attached to the underside of structural members with screws, welds, or powder-actuated fasteners. FastClip Deflection Screws are provided with each strut to ensure friction-free sliding. Each strut is also embossed with fastening patterns to ensure accurate placement of fasteners.
- Vertical movement up to 2-1/2" (1-1/4" up and 1-1/4" down).
- Allows for standoff from the primary frame.
- FastClip™ Deflection Screws (included) provide frictionless slip connection.
- U.S. Patent No. 6,688,069

PACKAGING:
10 Clips per box (Includes 55 FastClip Deflection Screws per box)
INSTALLATION:
Connections to the building can be made with screws, powder-actuated fasteners, drill-in concrete anchors or welding. Mechanical fasteners shall be equally spaced along the scored line of the 2" flange. The strut must engage the building structure a minimum of 4". When using tabulated allowable loads, connections to the building structure must be made according to the table notes. Three FastClip™ Deflection screws are used to attach the strut to the cold-formed steel framing. Screws shall be driven through the slotted holes and positioned to allow for the appropriate building deflection.
