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. These clips provide a low friction connection and prevent vertical load transfers into the curtain wall. The insert is pre-installed to the clip, making installation quick, easy, and efficient. Clips are packaged in durable buckets for easy handling on the jobsite.
