Quote requiredPre-punched SwiftClips™ are used for multiple construction applications.
Pre-punched SwiftClips™ are used for multiple construction applications. They are commonly used for lateral bracing CRC connections, header & sill connections and floor joist hangers. The L-shaped clips fit between the stud flanges, so that shorter length clips do not need to be ordered. Fixed clips should not be used in place of a deflection clip.

Installation
INSTALLATION SwiftClip Support Clips are attached to the cold-formed steel (CFS) framing members using #10 minimum self-drilling screws driven through the clip holes into the steel framing. Connections to the building frame can be made with powder-actuated fasteners, drill-in concrete anchors or welding. It is the responsibility of the design engineer to detail the attachment of clips and verify their capacity meets the application. Place the first two screws in each leg in the outermost screw holes. Place the next two screws (if needed) in center holes next to the CRC holes (diagonal). The next screws (if needed) are placed moving from the outermost holes toward the center, symmetrically.
