Description
Universal Strut Connector (USC) USC20-68, 4 x 1-1/2 x 20
The Universal Strut Connector (USC) is a single connector for long stand-off curtain wall connections.
This product is intended for:
- It works for both deflection and rigid applications, making design and installation easier.
- It is designed to support either rigid or deflection connections, giving engineers and contractors maximum flexibility for medium to large stand-off curtain-wall.
- The connector comes with proprietary deflection screws for when vertical movement is required, allowing the stud to slide freely while maintaining lateral and axial load.
Works with:
- Steel studs in the wall it connects.
- Self-drilling metal screws or powder-actuated fasteners to attach.
