This drift slide angle is used to connect exterior cold-formed steel curtain wall studs to the slab, bypassing the primary structure, while allowing for vertical deflection up to 2” vertical deflection (1” up and down) and 2” lateral drift (1” left and right-in-plane). TSN’s patented Step Bushing Technology provides an anti-friction and anti-seizure connection between the clip and both the stud web surface & track.

Features

• ICC-ES Approved, report #ESR-2049
• If more than 2” lateral drift is required, contact TSN engineering for a custom solution.
• Load-rated positive mechanical attachment at each stud
• Patented Step Bushing Technology provides friction-free motion for smooth vertical deflection
• Eliminates loose friction-held assemblies, heavy deep-leg track, & top row of wall bridging/strapping
• Load-rated #12 screws provided for vertical deflection connection to stud web
• Manufactured with certified, 50ksi, 97mil, G90 cold-formed steel
