Simpson Strong-Tie SLIDE CLIP HD OF WALL 3.25IN W/SCRW 25PK

Vertical Movement Clip for Head-of-Wall and Slip-Track Applications

The Simpson Strong-Tie SCW Slide Clip is a heavy-duty movement connector designed to accommodate vertical deflection in head-of-wall conditions for light gauge steel framing. This clip enables both upward and downward movement of the wall system relative to the structure, making it ideal for applications such as partition walls, curtain walls, and framed openings in multi-storey buildings.

Key Features

• Designed for Movement Tolerance
  Allows for a full 25mm of vertical movement—upward and downward—without compromising structural support, perfect for accommodating floor slab deflection or thermal expansion.

• Supplied with Shouldered Screws
  Comes complete with Ø6mm shouldered screws (XSH34B1414-83) that help maintain slot clearance for accurate deflection while preventing over-tightening.

• High-Strength Steel
  Manufactured from 1.4mm pre-galvanised steel, offering strength and corrosion resistance in standard interior or protected environments.

• Versatile Use
  Suitable for both head-of-wall framing and for reinforcing window and door jambs in structures that utilise slip-track systems.

Benefits

• Accommodates Building Movement
  Ensures non-load-bearing walls do not hinder structural shifts due to settlement, live load deflection, or thermal movement.

• Quick and Accurate Installation
  Pre-punched holes and supplied shouldered screws enable consistent placement and maintain deflection gaps automatically.

• Prevents Structural Stress Transfer
  Reduces the risk of drywall cracking or stud deformation caused by rigid framing in movement-prone areas.

• Code-Compliant Design
  Supports the needs of modern light gauge steel construction, especially in high-rise or large-scale commercial projects.
