$227.21
Engineered for superior performance in construction, the HWDC head-of-wall drift-clip connector from Simpson Strong-Tie is essential for supporting structural integrity during lateral drift and deflection. Its galvanized finish offers robust corrosion resistance, ensuring durability even in challenging environments. Additionally, the unique design of the anchorage slots allows for a closer attachment to the clip bend, which enhances load capacity. Made from 12-gauge steel, the connector also features stiffening ribs that provide added strength and stiffness, vital for accommodating 1 inch of lateral drift in each direction and 1 inch of vertical deflection. Designed with attention to detail, the notch marking system helps ensure precise placement of screws and anchors, making it a reliable choice for your building needs.
Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie® head-of-wall drift-clip connector (HWDC) is used to secure the head of a wall to the bottom of a slab or beam. The unique design allows anchor screws to be installed closer to the bend, providing a stronger and stiffer connection while also allowing horizontal and vertical movement during seismic and high-wind events. HWDC5.25 provides anchorage location options with a third slot providing a solution for clips overhanging beam flanges. HWDC connectors are an optimal solution for adding strength to window or door jambs at head-of-wall connections.
