Codes are what ClarkDietrich publishes as available, not a promise of local stock — tell the desk the connection you have and we'll confirm what's on a shelf. A code with no sheet of its own can be generated from ClarkDietrich SubmittalPro ↗.

Product Highlights

• Eliminates shims and scabs.
• Provides vertical movement up to 1” when installed as a deflection application
• Fast, one-piece universal installation. No left- or right-handed clips.
• Higher capacities when used in applications where significantly higher capacities are required.
• Proprietary heavy duty deflection screws provide frictionless slip connections. One bag (80 screws) included

Installation

InstallationConnections to the building can be made with screws, welds, or powder-actuated fasteners (PAF). Mechanical fasteners shall be located on the embossed marks given on the scored line of the 2" flange. Attach building anchors to the structure according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Anchors shall be installed through the embossments on the scored line of the clip as shown on the attached drawings. In no case shall anchors be installed more than 3/4" from the bend on the short leg of the clip. In cases of discrepancy between this information and the Design Engineer’s details, the Design Engineer’s details shall be followed. For a Rigid Connection:Attach the Fixed Universal Slip Clip (FUS) to cold-formed steel framing members using (4) or (8) #12 screws (not included) for the FUS6 clip and (6) or (10) #12 screws (not included) for the FUS8 clip through the clip holes into the steel framing. For a rigid connection, screws should not be installed in any of the slotted holes. For a Deflection Connection:Attach the Fixed Universal Slip Clip (FUS) to cold-formed steel framing members using the Proprietary HD Deflection Screws (included) through the slotted holes and position for the appropriate building deflection. For the FUS6 clip all slotted holes shall have a screw. For the FUS8 clip the (2) outer slotted holes and the (2) stacked slotted holes must have screws. For a deflection connection, screws should not be installed in any non-slotted holes. Proprietary HD Deflection Screws: Many of the ClarkDietrich deflection clips include our proprietary deflection fasteners that have been specifically designed to provide friction-free deflection. These fasteners eliminate drag, binding or resistance that can often occur with common fasteners. For the FUS clip, we supply a heavy duty version of the deflection screw. Clark Dietrich's Proprietary HD Deflection Screws are utilized on the Fixed Universal Slip clip only when used for a deflection condition.
