ESC
Exterior Head-of-Wall
Deflection Slide Clip

The ESC slide clip attaches the exterior stud to the top track (head-of-wall), which is fastened to the building structure, allowing for vertical deflection, while maintaining lateral rigidity.

Clips are packaged in durable buckets for easy handling on the jobsite.
