PLS2
Bypass Slab Slide Strut
The PLS2 slide strut attaches the bypass curtain wall stud to the building structure, allowing for vertical deflection while maintaining lateral rigidity. The clip provides a non-frictional connection, and prevents vertical load transfers into the curtain wall. The insert is pre-installed to the clip, making installation quick, easy, and efficient. Struts 12″ in length or less are packaged in durable buckets for easy handling on the jobsite. Patent No. 7478508-B2
