Install
- Align the plate at the connection point so the attachment surface is flush with the stud web and oriented to allow vertical movement.
- Fasten the plate to the primary stud using four (4) #10 self-drilling screws in the fixed holes.
- Attach the adjoining stud using two (2) proprietary deflection screws through the slotted holes.
- Verify the connection permits vertical movement and does not transfer vertical loads.
