About this detail

A sixteen-gauge steel slip clip connects a jamb stud to the overhead structure, featuring three-sixteenths by two-and-a-half-inch slotted holes to accommodate vertical deflection. The clip fastens to the bare metal deck using three number ten self-tapping sheet metal screws, or alternatively to concrete over metal deck or steel members using two shot pins. When the wall does not align with a low flute, the clip attaches directly to the top track or a plate with three number ten self-tapping sheet metal screws. Four number eight wafer head self-tapping sheet metal screws secure the clip to the jamb stud flange. Clips are required at all exterior wall jamb studs at slotted tracks, and at interior wall deflection tracks where opening widths exceed eight feet.
