VertiClip SLT

VertiClip
SLT and SLT(L) slide clips connect exterior curtain wall studs, bypassing the building’s structural concrete slab or structural steel frame, while allowing for a vertical deflection of the structure of 1” (½” up and down for SLT) and 1.875” (0.938” up and down for SLT(L)). VertiClip’s unique design provides both an anti-friction and anti-seizure
connection between the clip and stud web surface thereby preventing a transfer of vertical forces into curtain wall framing, which is not engineered to support axial loads. Allowable loads are based on use of #12 screws for attachment to stud (provided by TSN).
An ICC-ES Evaluation Report for VertiClips SLT 9.5 and SLT(L)-18 is available.
A Los Angeles Research Report for VertiClip SLD, SL, SLB, SLS, and SLT Series is available. Refer to LARR #25631

Attach SLT to top of slab with engineered attachment. Allow 4” minimum clip area for attachment to slab. Align studs to SLT for plumb wall assembly. Attach SLT to wall stud with provided screws through Step Bushings.
