Drift Rail (DR97) and Clip (DRC) New
UNIVERSAL 2-PIECE SYSTEM FOR DRIFT, DEFLECTION AND RIGID APPLICATIONS
ClarkDietrich Drift Rail 97mil (12ga) and Clip 97 mil or 68mil (12ga or 14ga) is a uniquely designed two-piece system that is used to attach curtain-wall studs to the building structure and allows for vertical and lateral movement or to be rigidly attached.
Quick Actions:
The system utilizes a C-Shaped Drift Rail and distinctively designed Drift Rail Clips that rotate into position for easy installation. For cast-in-place applications refer to the DHR-97 Drift Rail. The multifaceted Drift Rail Clips use Proprietary Deflection Screws for attachment to the wall studs and allows for 3" vertical deflection (1-1/2" up and down) and is also designed with 1/8" holes to rigidly attach wall studs.
