$145.80
The HWSC™ Head-of-Wall Slide-Clip Connector from Simpson Strong-Tie is engineered to provide a reliable and efficient solution for connecting wall studs in commercial construction. Made from robust 54-mil (16-gauge) steel, this connector is galvanized for enhanced corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity even in demanding environments. Its innovative design features a unique cone-shaped dimple that facilitates precise alignment of the track dimple and securely locks the connection in place while installation is completed with screws. Additionally, the clip accommodates up to 1-inch of vertical movement, offering flexibility that is critical in accommodating building movement. Ideal for streamlining the panelization of 6-inch printed studs, this connector simplifies the construction process by replacing slotted tracks that are often challenging to work with.
Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie® HWSC™ head-of-wall slide-clip connector is designed for simplifying the panelization of printed studs (e.g., FrameCAD, Arkitech, Howick and Pinnacle). The HWSC is designed to replace slotted track with a typical printed track at head-of-wall conditions. To facilitate installation, a cone-shaped funnel in the clip helps the dimple in the track align properly with the clip’s corresponding dimple to hold it in place while a screw is placed in each flange from the track to the clip. The stud is then slid into position, and the clip is attached to the stud with shoulder screws driven through the center of the fastener slots. As an option, fasten the clip to the stud hole using a single screw to lock the deflection gap in place temporarily during transport and installation. The optional screw is then removed after installation is complete. The HWSC has been assembly-tested to provide optimal strength and performance.
