Simpson Strong-Tie HWSC362-KT HWSC™ 3-7/16 in. Head-of-Wall Slide-Clip Connector w/ Screws (50-Qty)

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.
