This deflection track system with preinstalled VertiClip® SLD’s, is used to connect the interior/exterior metal studs at head of wall to the primary structure while allowing for a vertical deflection of the structure up to 1½” (¾” up & ¾” down). A VertiClip® SLD is pre-installed to the track at 16” or 24”o.c. TSN’s patented Step Bushing Technology provides an anti-friction and anti-seizure connection between the clip and the stud web surface.
