Connections play a vital role in the performance of light-gaugeframing assemblies. Connectors, clips or framing hardware areused to either make or support cold-formed framing connections. The most common types of connections are rigid( fixed) connections and deflection (movement) connections.Dietrich Metal Framing provides one of the widest selections ofconnectors, clips, supports and framing hardware for just aboutevery rigid or deflection connection. This wide selection ofoptions gives the designer the ability to attain optimalperformance at the most economical costs.

understanding FRAMINGCONNECTIONS

Rigid Connectors Rigid connectors and supports are used in a variety of ways to secure cold-formed framingmembers to each other or to the building structure. Some of the most common types ofrigid or fixed connections include joist connections, punched openings, beam/wall connections and bridging, header and truss connections.

Dietrich Metal Framing provides one of the widestselections of rigid connectorsand supports available. Thisextensive line provides a widearray of options to provide themost efficient load transferpath.

Design Considerations One of the most important considerations is load transfer. Whensizing a connector, it is important to consider forces in all directions. This could include shear, vertical or horizontal, tension, compression or moments. For the purpose of this catalog,the load capacities are defined by direction as listed below.

■ F1 = Shear■ F2 = Tension■ F3 = Compression■ M = Moment or Rotation

When we developed our extensive line of clips, connectors andframing hardware we did so with two key elements in mind:Provide cost effective solutions that satisfy design and performance requirements and reduce or streamline installation. By partnering with architects, specifiers,designers, engineers and installers, we were able to learn,understand and ultimately develop products and technologiesthat provide highly cost-effective solutions that satisfy buildingrequirements. Many of our products were developed by or inconjunction with framing installers who desperately sought efficient solutions to common framing problems. We delivered.

FastClip™ Technology Many of the Dietrich clips are embossed andprepunched to ensure accurate fastener placement and proper clip performance. TheFastClips™ and Uni-Clips™ also feature reinforced and stiffened corners that providesuperior design values for maximum performance and economy.

Easy-to-Read and Clearly Marked Connectors All too often, clips, connectors and supports arefabricated or made from local job shops or onthe jobsite from generic or surplus framing materials, which may or may not be the proper gauge,strength or coating needed to meet specific performance criteria.

In order to alleviate any liability or performance issues, Dietrich embosses almost every clip, connector or support with easy-to-find andeasy-to-read product identifiers so you can quickly verify that the properclip or connector is being used. When you design or specify by part nameor number, you know you’re getting an engineered connector and willeliminate any weak link between design and installation.

FastClip™

Deflection Screw

Deflection DistancesDeflection distance is a measure of the maximum vertical distance that the primary structure is anticipated to move due to the imposition and orremoval of “live loading.” Dietrich™ deflection productspermit deflection ranging from 1/2" to over 4" based on thespecific product. Each catalog page indicates the range ofdeflection so the designer can easily and economically choosethe correct connector to meet their specific requirements.

Standoff DistancesStandoff distance is defined as the distancebetween the secondary frame andthe primary frame. The primary frame is the mainbuilding structural supportusually consisting of red ironor concrete. The secondary frame isthe curtain-wall assembly comprised ofcold-formed light steel framing. Thestandoff distance allows for the framerto install the cold-formed framing in a“true” line while the structure of the building may vary either “in or out” or mayvary out of plumb from floor to floor. Dietrichdeflection clips permit or accept standoff fromas little as 1/8" up to 21" inches to accommodate just about every framing condition. Custom products are available to accommodate even greater standoff.

“FastClip™” Fasteners Many of the Dietrich deflection clips includeour proprietary “FastClip™” deflection screwthat has been specifically designed to providefriction-free deflection. These fasteners feature a smooth shoulder that eliminate drag,binding or resistance that can often occur withcommon fasteners. FastClip™ deflection screw:

■ Ensures friction-free deflection

■ Reduces the potential for overtightening

■ Eliminates the chance of using wrongfasteners

■ Correctly indicates proper fastenerplacement

■ No bushings or additional pieces thatfall out, get lost or never get used.

DeflectionConnectors Deflection or movement connectionsare designed to permit movement of the primary structure of the building without imposingany axial loading onto the exterior curtain wall orinterior head of wall. Movement of the primarystructure may result from thermal expansion and contraction, seismic disturbances, foundation settling or normal head ofwall compression. Deflection connectors are used in awide array of framing conditions including exterior,bypass, head of wall or infill and interior head of wall.Dietrich Metal Framing provides one of thewidest selections of deflection and slipconnections available. Thisextensive line provides awide array of options fromlowest installed costs tolowest unit costs so you candecide what works best for yourparticular situation. Many of the Dietrich™

deflection clips feature “FastClip™” technology. These “FastClips™” areembossed with fastening patterns toensure accurate and proper placement of fasteners. Specialty“FastClip™” Deflection Screws are also provided with each clip to ensure friction-free deflection.


Screw Connections Self-Drilling Screws are externally threaded fasteners with the ability to drill their own hole andform, or “tap,” their own internal threads without deforming their thread and without breakingduring assembly. These screws are high-strength, one-piece installation fasteners and are used if theconnection is multiple thicknesses of 33 mil steel or thicker. One of the more common self-drillingscrews is a #10-16 x 5/8 HWH SD, which indicates a 10 diameter shaft, 16 threads per inch, 5/8length, hex washer head self-drilling screw.

FastClip™ Deflection Screws —Many of the Dietrich™ deflection clipsinclude our proprietary FastClip™

fastener that has been specificallydesigned to provide friction-freedeflection. These fasteners eliminatedrag, binding or resistance that canoften occur with common fasteners.


FASTENING OPTIONS

Connections can be made using a variety of fastening options.It is critical to specify the proper fastener to ensure the properperformance of the connections used in light-gauge (cold formed)steel construction. The most common and widely used connectionmethods include screw connections, welding connections andpowder-driven fastener connections. Each type of connectionmethod has various advantages and disadvantages. Therefore,we provide data for the three most common types so you canchoose your preferred connection method.

Welded Connections Fillet welds are used to make lap joints, cornerjoints and T-joint connections. As the illustrationsuggests, the fillet weld is roughly triangular incross-section, although its shape is not alwaysa right triangle or an isosceles triangle. Weldmetal is deposited in a corner formed by thefit-up of the two members and penetrates andfuses with the base metal to form the joint.

Flare welds, including Flare Bevel and Flare V,are used to join rounded or curved pieces.

A Flare Bevel groove weld is commonly usedto join a rounded or curved piece to a flat piece.

A Flare V groove weld is commonly used to jointwo rounded or curved parts.

NOTE: For graphical clarity, the weld illustrationsdo not show the penetration of the welded material.Weld penetration is critical in determining thequality of the weld.

Yield Strength, Fy/(psi or ksi)Yield strength is the property by which the strength of steel is typicallydefined. The majority of clips, connectors, supports and framing hardwareare manufactured from mill certified, ASTM A 1003 Structural Grade 50Type H (340 MPa) steel. KSI is short for kips per square inch. One kip isequal to 1,000 pounds.

Protective CoatingsDietrich Metal Framing offers a variety ofgalvanized products that can be selected tomeet the specific requirements of a project.

Non-structural products have a corrosion resistantgalvanized coating that conforms to ASTMspecification A1003 – G40 coating weight orequivalent corrosion protection. This coating is inaccordance with the industry standard coatingrequirements of ASTM C 645. These productscan also be ordered with enhanced coatings forspecial applications.

Structural Framing products are available with avariety of protective coatings. G60 zinc coatingsmeet the most widely applicable building codesand we are able to provide certified G60 productthat meets the G60 coating weight provisions ofASTM to C 955. Certified G90 coatings are anenhanced option that can be requested for highlycorrosive environments. G60E coatings are aneconomical choice. G60E coatings for structuralproducts will pass the 100-hour salt spray testapplicable to “equivalent” coatings under ASTMA 1003, but cannot be certified by any supplierto meet the G60 minimum coating standardunder ASTM C 955. The buyer is solely responsi-ble to assure that products purchased properlysatisfy any applicable code or specification.

Steel Thickness (Gauge)The steel thickness of a connector, clip, support or hanger is referenced in terms of gauge or mils. Thethickness or gauge is a key contributor to the strength of the product.

Note: All products comply with ASTM standards and Federal specifications as shown in Certification ofMaterials in the back of this catalog. Minimum thickness is 95% of the design thickness per AISI code.The trend today is to refer to steel thickness in terms of “mil” rather than “gauge”. This catalog includesboth for ease of use. One mil is equivalent to 1/1000, (0.001) of an inch. The mil thickness measuresthe uncoated base metal material. A 20-gauge stud measuring the minimum uncoated base metal at0.030 inches is “30 mils thick”.

Standards & SpecificationsAll structural properties are developed in accordancewith the American Iron and Steel Institute’s (AISI’s)“Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed SteelStructural Members.”

Metric SpecificationsAt your request, Dietrich Metal Framing will provide“soft” metric conversions on its products and systems to help specifiers match metric designsizes. In addition, some products are availablewith hard metric dimensions from selected manufacturing facilities.

WarrantyOur products are manufactured in accor-dance with company standards and/orindustry standards, as applicable. AllDietrich Metal Framing products are covered by our standard warranty which is contained in our Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale and which will beprovided upon request. Generally, we warrant our products will be free fromdefects in material and workmanship at thetime of shipment, subject to the limitationsstated in the warranty. Unless specificallyagreed in writing by us with respect to specific orders, we do not make any warranty of merchantability or fitness for aparticular purpose. The buyer is responsibleto assure that buyer orders the appropriateproduct for any applicable code or specifi-cation requirements.

NOTICE: Our liability is expressly limited toreplacement of defective products. We shallnot be liable for incidental and consequentialdamages, nor for any loss caused by misuseor misapplication of our products. Any claimshall be deemed waived unless made in writing to us within thirty (30) days fromthe date it was or reasonably should havebeen discovered.

WARNING: Not All LoadTables are Created Equal

It is critical that the allowable load tables for clips, connectorsand fasteners are interpreted correctly. Especially when comparing the performance criteria from one company’s clip toanother. The allowable load for a clip assembly is governed notonly by the capacity of the clip, but also by the method of attachment to the structure. Some manufacturers provide tablesthat display allowable loads for the clip, while ignoring theattachment to the structure. Unfortunately, when attaching aclip to the structure with pins, screws, welds or concrete anchorsthe overall capacity can often be lower than the publishedvalue. Load tables that ignore the attachment to the structureessentially imply that the clip or connector must be welded toachieve the stated values. More often than not, clips and connectors will not be welded based on the installation costs.

In order to provide more accurate and realistic data, DietrichMetal Framing publishes its values for multiple attachmentmethods. That way the designer or engineer will have the proper information to correctly determine the appropriate clipor connector and have confidence that all load requirementshave been satisfied. As an example, the tabulated valuesDietrich provides for the FastClip™ includes data for 0.145 Hilti* X-EDNI pins and Buildex** #12-24 screws.

*Hilti is a registered trademark of the Hilti Aktiengeseilschaft Corporation.

Be aware and make sure you aren’t comparing apples to oranges.

General NotesThe data contained in this brochure is intendedto be used as a general guideline only and doesnot replace the judgments and designs of aqualified architect and/or engineer. Product,application renderings and photographs areprovided as a tool to show the general intent ofthe framing or finishing application only. Theserenderings or photographs may or may not beapplicable to a specific project. They do notreplace or supercede the architect or engineer ofrecord, ASTM guidelines, national or localbuilding codes or approved industry standards.It is the responsibility of the design engineer toproperly detail project drawings and documentsfor proper clip installation.

■ Install products per installationinstructions detailed in this catalog.

■ Install all connectors and fastenersbefore load application.

■ Do not modify, change or alter any connector in this catalog.

■ Do not bend connectors unless they are specifically designed to be bent.Connectors that are not designed to be bent may fracture. Fractured steel will not carry load and must bereplaced. Connectors that are designedto be bent shall only be bent one time.

■ Install fasteners per the manufacturer’sinstructions.

■ Load tables have been developed using the following fastener data:

■ Hilti 0.145” dia. X-EDNI fasteners –Reference 2002 Edition of the Hilti North American Product Technical Guide, page 29 for 3/16” steel

■ Hilti Kwik-Con II – Reference 2002Edition of the Hilti North AmericanProduct Technical Guide, page 180

■ #10-16 Screws – As applicable,capacities calculated according to the AISI North American Specificationfor the Design of Cold-Formed SteelMembers. The ultimate nominal screw shear capacity must be 1400# or greater.

■ Tabular footnotes must be followed and supercede general notes when in conflict.

■ Fasteners other that those specified may be substituted with the approval of the engineer of record

■ Allowable loads and material data listed in this catalog supercedes allinformation in previous publications

■ Allowable loads, in some cases, havebeen increased 1/3rd per allowablecodes. It is important to verify that the actual installation meets therequirements to allow the 1/3rdincrease. If not the engineer of recordshould adjust the loads down.

■ Listed loads are the maximummonotonic design loads to be applied to the connection based on testing or calculations. Load tables have been developed using Allowable Stress Design methodologies.

■ Allowable loads are the maximum forcesapplied in one direction only. When loadsare applied in multiple directions theengineer of record is responsible toverify the maximum capabilities basedon an appropriate interaction equation

■ Where maximum movements (deflections) are specified they are the total movement in both directions. The fastener positioning and size will affect the amount of allowable movement.

Dietrich Metal Framing strongly recommendsthe following language be included in plansand specifications: “Dietrich Metal Framing con-nectors were utilized in developing the plansand specifications for this project. Before substi-tuting another brand, the engineer of recordmust verify the load capacities and approve thesubstitution in writing.”

Dietrich Metal Framing reserves the rightto change or modify the information and tech-nical data contained in this catalog withoutprior notice or obligation. The informationin this catalog supercedes all previously pub-lished data. Products and systems may beimproved and/or changed after this catalog isprinted.

Material SpecificationsGauge: 20 gauge (33 mils)Design Thickness: 0.0346 inches (0.879mm)Coating: G40 (Z120) hot-dipped galvanized or equivalentcorrosion resistance.Yield Strength: 33 ksi (230 MPa)ASTM: A 653/A 653M

InstallationInstall long leg track and metal studs, utilizing Spazzer®

Bars to position and rigidly hold studs without fasteners inthe head track. The Spazzer® 9200 Bars are passed throughthe upper stud knockouts (must be within 12" of the headtrack) and rotated 90˚ to position, engaging each side ofthe knockout. Spazzer® Bars should not be spaced morethan 5'-0" on center and should not be used with studswider than 6".

U.S. Patent No. 5, 784, 850 and 6, 021, 618

Dietrich Spazzer® 9200 is a prenotched, 20-gauge,galvanized steel spacer bar engineered to handle deflectionat the head track of interior, nonload-bearing,nonstructural stud walls. The prenotched slots andgripping power of the 50-inch bar holds studs into a rigid,accurately laid out gridwork that has excellent resistance tostud rotation and displacement. The Spazzer® 9200 spacerbar saves time and material by eliminating the cost ofcustom head tracks and the time required to fasten andremove screws or layout stud spacing at the deck. Hangingdrywall is also faster and easier because the Spazzer® 9200spacer bar eliminates the bow that often occurs in tallinterior studs.

■ Vertical deflection up to 1-1/2" (3/4" up and 3/4" down) when using 2" long leg track.

■ Greater deflection can be achieved byincreasing length of long leg track andreducing stud height.

■ Eliminates high material cost of custom-madehead tracks.

■ Requires only a single generic long leg trackto provide deflection.

■ Facilitates sprayable intumescent/elastomericfirestops.


■ Automatically positions and holds studs rigidlyon 12", 16" or 24" spacing.


The TradeReady® Spazzer® 5400 prenotched, 16-gauge,galvanized steel spacer and bridging bar is engineered tofacilitate the rapid erection of exterior deflection wallframing. Before the Spazzer® 5400 Bridging Bar, deflectionat the head track was addressed with a variety of systemsincluding double track, proprietary tracks, deep leg trackwith cold rolled channel, clip angles or welds, solid blocksand metal strap across the face of the studs or by fasteningthe studs to the top track and removing the screws prior toinstalling the wall sheathing.

The prenotched slots and gripping power of the 50-inchSpazzer® 5400 bridging bar assembles steel studs into arigid, accurate gridwork that allows for deflection andprovides excellent resistance to stud rotation anddisplacement without the use of mechanical attachmentsand welding equipment. The Spazzer® Bar Guard™retaining clip, Spazzer® Snap-in Grommet, or screws, mustbe installed in curtain-wall and axial load-bearing wallapplications to prevent the Spazzer® 5400 bridging barfrom accidentally being disengaged.U.S. Patent No. 6, 708, 460 and other Patents Pending

InstallationInstall long leg track and metal studs without fasteningstuds to the top track. Install spazzer bars through the topknockout to rigidly hold studs in place. The Spazzer® 5400Bars are passed through the upper stud knockouts (must be within 12" of the long leg track) and rotated 90degrees into position, engaging each side of the knockout.When 20-gauge studs are used, the Spazzer® Bar Guard,Spazzer® Snap-in Grommet or screws are required to keepthe bar in place in curtain wall applications when 18-gaugeor heavier studs are used, no additional fastening isrequired except for load-bearing applications. Spazzer® Barsshould not be spaced more than 5' 0" O. C. horizontallyand should not be used with studs wider that 8"*.

*When bridging 8" wall studs the allowable moment capacity calculated in accordance with Section C3.1.2.1 of the North American Specification for theDesign of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members should be factored by 0.9 for U-Channel, and 0.8 for Spazzer 5400.

1) Except when welding, tabulated values require a minimumof 4" of structure engagement. For other conditions ortechnical assistance, contact Dietrich Design Group at 1-800-873-2443.

2) The tabulated values for welds are based on the followingweld lengths: use 4.5" of weld along each edge of the1.5" FastStrut leg for 20, and 18 gage, use 5.5" alongeach edge for 16 and 14 gage, use 6.5" along each edgefor 12 gage. Use E60XX (min.) electrodes. (Note that the welded values may require more than 4" of structure engagement.)

3) Tabulated values for Hilti PAF's and Buildex screws arebased on the following: fasteners are spaced at 3" o/c(min.) when using 2 anchors, and 1.5" o/c (min.) whenusing 3 anchors, anchors are placed 1/2" (min.) away fromthe edge of the building structure, and 1/2" (min.) awayfrom edge of the Fast Strut.

4) Tabulated values for Hilti Kwik-Cons are based on thefollowing: anchors are spaced at 2.75" o/c (min.), anchorsare placed 3/4" (min.) away from edge of building structureand 1/2" (min.) away from edge of Fast Strut. Thetabulated values are based on 3000 psi concrete.

5) For 3/4" deflection, center the proprietary screws along thetop most hash mark. For 1.25" deflection, center thescrews along the center hash-mark.

6) The values given for PAF's are based on Hilti X-EDNI0.145" Dia. powder actuated fasteners with 15 mm washers.

Dietrich SD slide clips are used to attach exterior curtainwall studs to the building structure and provide for verticalbuilding movement independent of the cold-formed steelframing. SD slide clips are used in by-pass framingsituations and are normally welded or otherwise fastenedto the vertical leg of a structural angle at the floor or roofedge. Normally a stand-off exists between the structuralangle and the inside flange of the curtain wall stud. Thiswill require the installation of an extra stud piece to bridgethe stand-off. In order to avoid the extra installation costs,the Dietrich FastClip™ products are recommended in placeof the SD clip.

Table Notes

1) The 1/3 stress increase for wind shall not be used.2) Attach the Uni-Clip™ to the stud framing using Buildex #10-16 (min.) self-drilling screws.3) When using 2 anchors, use the outer-most marks on the short leg of the clips for anchor placement.4) Attach building anchors to the structure according to the manufacturer's instructions. Anchors shall be installed through the embossments on the

scored line of the 1.5" leg of the clip.5) When using #12-24 for clips that have load combinations of F1, F2 and F3, use a linear interaction for combinations of F1 and F3, and a squared

interaction for combinations of F1 and F2. When using 0.145" PAFs, use a linear interaction for combinations of F1 and F3, and for combinations of F1 and F2.

6) It is the responsibility of the design professional to detail the project drawings for proper clip installation.7) For connections to concrete, or other technical assistance, contact Dietrich Design Group at 1-800-873-2443.

InstallationSupport clips are attached to the cold-formed steel (CFS)framing members using #10 minimum self-drilling screwsdriven through the clip holes into the steel framing. Whennot filling all holes, install fasteners symmetrically startingat the top and bottom edges and move toward the centerof the clip. Clip can also be welded to the CFS framing.Connections to the building frame can be made withpowder-actuated fasteners, drill-in concrete anchors orwelding. When using the tabular values for a welded clip,provide a full weld to the structure, top to bottom, alongthe outside of the clip. A 3/4" minimum weld on theoutside edge of the 1-1/2" leg is also required to controlwarping or to hold the clip in place before final welding.

Table Notes

Screw Capacity Notes:1) The tabulated value indicates the number of screws in a single clip leg attached to the cold-

formed steel (CFS) framing.2) Screws shall be attached in a symmetric manner, starting at the outside holes.

See screw options on opposite page for examples.3) The allowable values for F1 are based only on the shear capacity of the 4" clip leg attached to

the CFS framing. The capacity of the attachment to other materials and structures must bechecked separately.

4) The allowable values for F2 assume mechanical fasteners are attached to the structure usingthe 1.5" leg, and are along the vertical centerline of the clip leg. Mechanical fasteners to othermaterials and structures must be checked separately.

5) This table is intended for use by qualified engineers only. It is the responsibility of the engineerto verify that the tabulated values apply to a specific connection application.

6) When clips have combinations of F1, F2, and F3, use a linear interaction for combinations ofF1 and F3, and a squared interaction for combinations of F1 and F2.

7) The screw diameter must be 0.19" (min.) for #10 screws.

8) The ultimate screw shear strength must be a minimum of 1400 lbs. for #10 screws.9) Screws must be long enough so that at least 3 exposed threads are visible after installation.10) Screw capacity is based on the 1996 AISI Specification.11) Allowable loads have not been increased 33% for wind or seismic.12) For connections made to 14 ga. (68 mils.) and 12 ga. (97 mils.), use the tabulated values

for 16 ga. (54 mils.), 50 ksi.13) Contact Dietrich Design Group at 1-800-873-2443 for technical assistance.Weld Capacity Notes:1) F1 and F2 values in parentheses are maximum shear and tension capacities when the clips

are welded to the base structure (min 3/16" — 36 ksi)2) Listed weld capacities are computed assuming a E60XX welding rod or wire.3) The clips are to be welded to the structure along the back corner along

the complete length of the clip. When secondary welds are used to hold the clip in place, they are not used in capacity calculations.

InstallationE-Series™ support clips are attached to the cold-formedsteel (CFS) framing members using #10 minimum self-drilling screws driven through the clip holes into the steelframing. When not filling all holes, install fastenerssymmetrically starting at the top and bottom edges andmove toward the center of the clip. Clip can also be weldedto the CFS framing. Connections to the building frame canbe made with powder-actuated fasteners, drill-in concreteanchors or welding. When using the tabular values for awelded clip, provide a full weld to the structure, top tobottom, along the outside of the clip. A 3/4" minimum weldon the outside edge of the 1-1/2" leg is also required tocontrol warping or to hold the clip in place before finalwelding.

General Framing

Table NotesScrew Capacity Notes:1) The tabulated value indicates the number of screws in a single clip leg attached to the

cold-formed steel (CFS) framing.2) Screws shall be attached in a symmetric manner, starting at the outside holes and moving to the center.

Reference Figure 1 on opposite page3) The allowable values for F1 are based only on the shear capacity of the clip leg attached to the CFS framing.

The capacity of the attachment to other materials and structures must be checked separately.4) The allowable values for F2 assume mechanical fasteners are attached to the structure, and are along the

vertical centerline of the clip leg. Mechanical fasteners to other materials and structures must be checkedseparately.

5) The screw diameter must be 0.19" (min.) for #10 screws.6) The ultimate screw shear strength must be a minimum of 1400 lbs. for #10 screws.7) When clips have combinations of F1, F2, and F3, use a linear interaction for combinations of F1 and F3, and

a squared interaction for combinations of F1 and F2.8) Screws must be long enough so that at least 3 exposed threads are visible after installation.

9) Screw capacity is based on the 1996 AISI Specification.10) Allowable loads have not been increased 33% for wind or seismic. 11) For connections made to 14 ga. (68 mils.) and 12 ga. (97 mils.), use the tabulated values

for 16 ga. (54 mils.), 50 ksi.12) It is the responsibility of the design professional to detail the drawings for proper clip attachment.13) Contact Dietrich Design Group at 1-800-873-2443 for technical assistance.Weld Capacity Notes:1) F1 and F2 values in parentheses are maximum shear and tension capacities when the clips are welded to

the base structure (min 3/16" — 36 ksi steel)2) Listed weld capacities are computed assuming a E60XX welding rod or wire.3) The clips are to be welded to the structure along the back corner

and along the complete length of the clip. When secondarywelds are used to hold the clip in place, they are not used incapacity calculations.

Dietrich EasyClip™ B-Series™ Clip Angles are used to secure U-channel to wall studs in back-to-back framingapplications and for various miscellaneous rigidconnections. The shorter length of the B-Series™ clipenables the clip to be installed inside the C-shape. The B-Series™ clip can also be used on single studs where theclip is preferred to be inside the C-shape. B-Series™ clipsare prepunched for faster and more accurate fastenerplacement. B-Series™ clip angles and U-channel should notbe used in lateral bridging when stud width exceeds 8 ".

EasyClip™ X-Series™ Clip Anglesare used to secure U-channel(cold-rolled channel) framingmembers for lateral bridgingor to secure one framingmember to another for rigidconnections.

InstallationEasyClip™ X-Series™ Clip Angles are attached to cold-formedsteel (CFS) framing members using #10 minimum self-drilling screws driven through the clip holes into the steelframing. Four pilot clip holes are provided and should befilled when this clip is used in a bridging application. When this clip is used in other support or connectionapplications, refer to the allowable capacity chart todetermine the appropriate number of fasteners required.As a general rule, fasteners should be evenly spaced (seefigure 1). Clips can also be welded to the CFS framing.Connections to the building frame can be made withpowder-actuated fasteners, drill-in concrete anchors orwelding. When using the tabular values for a welded clip,provide a full weld to the structure, top to bottom, alongthe outside of the clip. A 3/4" minimum weld to the outsideedge of the 2" leg is also recommended to control warpingor to hold the clip in place before final welding. When installing powder-actuated fasteners,they must be placed 1/2" minimum away from the prepunched holes.

EasyClip™ X-Series™ Clip Angles Allowable Clip Capacities (lbs) Using #10–16 Self-Drilling Screws

Table Notes

Screw Capacity Notes:1) The tabulated value indicates the number of screws in a single clip leg attached to the

cold-formed steel (CFS) framing, as shown in figure 1 opposite page.2) Screws shall be attached in a symmetric manner starting at the top and bottom and moving

toward the center.3) The allowable values for F1 are based only on the shear capacity of the clip leg attached to the

CFS framing. The capacity of the attachment to other materials and structures must be checked separately.

4) The allowable values for F2 assume mechanical fasteners are attached to the structure, and arelocated no more than 1" away from the angle bend. Mechanical fasteners to other materials andstructures must be checked separately.

5) This table is intended for use by qualified engineers only. It is the responsibility of the engineer toverify that the tabulated values apply to a specific connection application.

6) When clips have combinations of F1, F2 and F3, use a linear interaction for combinations of F1 and F3, and a squared interaction for combinations of F1 and F2.

7) Allowable Loads have not been increased 33% for wind or seismic.

8) For connections made to 14 ga. (68 mils) and 12 ga. (97 mils), use the tabulated values for 16 ga. (54 mils), 50 ksi.

9) It is the responsibility of the design professional to detail the drawings for proper clip attachment.10) Contact Dietrich Design Group at 1-800-873-2443 for technical assistance.Weld Capacity Notes:1) F1 and F2 values in parentheses are maximum shear and tension capacities when the

clips are welded to the base structure (min 3/ 16" — 36 ksi steel)2) Listed weld capacities are computed assuming an E60XX welding rod or wire.3) The clips are to be welded to the structure along the back corner along the complete length of

the clip. When secondary welds are used to hold the clip in place, they are not used in capacitycalculations.

Table Notes

Screw Capacity Notes:1) The tabulated value indicates the number of screws

in a single clip leg attached to the cold-formed steel(CFS) framing.

2) Screws shall be attached in a symmetric mannerstarting at the top and bottom moving to the center, seefigure 1 opposite page

3) The allowable values for F1 are based only on the shearcapacity of the clip leg attached to the CFS framing. Thecapacity of the attachment to other materials andstructures must be checked separately.

4) The allowable values for F2 assume mechanicalfasteners are attached to the structure and are locatedno more than 1" away from the angle bend. Mechanicalfasteners to other materials and structures must bechecked separately.

5) This table is intended for use by qualified engineersonly. It is the responsibility of the engineer to verify thatthe tabulated values apply to a specific connectionapplication.

6) When clips have combinations of F1, F2 and F3, use alinear interaction for combinations of F1 and F3, and asquared interaction for combinations of F1 and F2.

7) Allowable loads have not been increased 33% for windor seismic.

8) For connections made to 14 ga. (68 mils) and 12 ga.(97 mils), use the tabulated values for 16 ga. (54 mils),50 ksi.

9) It is the responsibility of the design professional to detailthe drawings for proper clip attachment.

10) Contact Dietrich Design Group at 1-800-873-2443 fortechnical assistance.

Weld Capacity Notes:1) F1 and F2 values in parentheses are maximum shear

and tension capacities when the clips are welded to thebase structure (min 3/16" — 36 ksi steel)

2) Listed weld capacities are computed assuming anE60XX welding rod or wire.

3) The clips are to be welded to the structure along theback corner along the complete length of the clip. Whensecondary welds are used to hold the clip in place, theyare not used in capacity calculations. 3/4" min.secondary weld as required to control warping or tohold clip in place before final welding.

2) Allowable loads have been increased33% for wind or earthquake loading withno further increase allowed.

3) Multiply the loads shown by 0.75 when a33% increase for wind or earthquakeloading is not allowed by the designstandard being used or when the 0.75load combination factor in A.I.S.I. SectionA5.1.3 (1996 Edition) is not allowed.

4) Anchor bolt washer is not required.

5) Deflection at Highest Allowable DesignLoad

6) The deflection of a holdown measuredbetween the anchor bolt and the strapportion of the holdown when loaded to thehighest allowable load listed in the catalogtable. This movement is strictly due to theholdown deformation under a static loadtest conducted on a steel jig.

7) Simpson and Simpson Strong-Tie® aretrademarks of the Simpson Strong-Tie®

Company, Inc.

Sources of Deflection at the Shearwall Holdown Connections

A) Eccentricity in stud — when a holdown isinstalled on only one side of the stud, aneccentricity exists during loading that cancause additional movement in theshearwall system

B) Nut spin — unrestrained anchor bolt nutscan spin loose during cyclic loading: theuse of steel nylon locking nuts or threadadhesive may prevent nut spin.

C) Lack of nut tightening — additionalmovement can occur when nuts are nottightened sufficiently.

D) Deflection of the holdown — deflectioncan occur in the holdown under loadcaused by stresses due to earthquake orhigh wind.

E) Vertical deflection at the holdown seatcaused by stud rotation — lateraldisplacement at the top of the wall rotatesthe stud around its base causing theholdown base plate to displace vertically.

■ Provides racking restraint.

■ Used in shear wall assemblies.

■ Resist uplift and shear forces.

Gusset Plates and diagonal tension strapping componentsare used in combination to provide shear wall (rackingrestraint) for light-gauge load-bearing framing under windand seismic loads. They are normally installed on bothsides of the wall directly over the framing members and areeasily covered with facing materials.

CAUTION: Racking loads are first transferred to the roof orfloor decking and then to the shear walls (X-bracing). TheX-bracing then relies on a proper anchorage to thefoundation to resist uplift and shear forces. In order for thesystem to function properly, the load path from the roof orfloor deck to the shear walls to the foundation must becomplete. This normally requires additional bracing,blocking, track and rim splices, drag struts, uplift anchorsand heavy-duty foundations.

InstallationStraps are positioned diagonally from the bottom track to the top track. In order to resist load in each direction, an X-configuration should be used. At a minimum, doublestuds are positioned at ends of the X-brace to serve ascompression studs. Straps are either attached directly tothe compression studs or are attached via gusset plates.Compression studs must be anchored to the foundation,normally with Simpson* uplift anchors. For multistoryconstruction, the uplift loads can be extremely high. It isrecommended that you enlist the services of a qualifiedprofessional engineer to verify the applicability of thesystem selected.

Unpunched Gusset Plates are used in conjunction with X-bracing in load-bearing shear wall assemblies to resist racking under wind and seismic loads.

Allowable Loading Chart for Single Connectors


Table Notes

1) To determine the connection capacity, use the minimumvalue from the jamb and header columns. For instance,using an H686 for the 30-screw option with a 16-gauge,50 ksi jamb stud and a 12-gauge, 50 ksi header, theallowable load per plate is 3201 lbs. (i.e., the minimum of3821 lbs. for the jamb and 3201 lbs. for the header).

2) For the H436 and the H546, the tabulated capacity isbased on #10-16 screws with an ultimate screw shearcapacity of 1400 lbs. per screw. For the H686, thetabulated capacity is based on 1/4"-14 screws with anultimate screw shear capacity of 2600 lbs. per screw.

3) H436 connectors are 33 ksi, H546 and H686 connectorsare 50 ksi.

4) Reference figures above for screw placement of the 10-,20- and 30-screw options.

5) Values are based on a minimum of (2) back-to-back jambstuds as shown in the Figure above.

3.625" HDS 18-gauge, 33 ksi head, the design value for F1 is the minimum value of 1680# for the jamb and 682# for the head. Therefore, the design value is 682#.4) For F1 and F2 occurring at the same time, use the squared interaction equation: (f1/F1)^2+(f2/F2)^2<1.0.

Table Notes

1) Tabulated values are for a single HDS header installed withstandard HDSC clips. Each head-to-jamb connection requires (4) #10-16 screws to the header, and (4) #10-16 screws to thejamb. Tabulated values marked with an asterisk will requirespecial engineering of the header-to-jamb connections.

2) Deflections are computed using 0.7 times the components andcladding wind load per Section B1 of the AISI Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Framing - Wall Design. Note that the 0.7 factor is not used for the interior 5 psf loading condition.

3) Unless connections are engineered separately, jambs must bethe same gauge and strength as the header.

4) HDS Header to be installed with open side facing up.5) HDS properties computed in accordance

with AISI NASPEC 2001.

Table Notes

1) The opening is centered vertically about the wall height.

2) The assumed stud spacing adjacent to the opening is 16" O/C or less. For door openings, this table is conservative, and therefore valid.

3) The tabulated values assume a single HDS memberis used at each jamb stud.

4) The tabulated values are limited to 16' for 3.625"walls and 20' for 6" walls. For wider openings orother conditions, contact Dietrich Design Group at 1-800-873-2443.

5) Depending on the actual window width versus thetabulated window width, cells marked with anasterisk may require an end connection that willprevent web crippling. Web crippling is computed inaccordance with the AISI Standard for CFS Wall StudDesign 2004. End track must have a minimumthickness equal to the jamb stud.

6) The tabulated values are based on an unbracedlength of 6' for bending.

7) HDS properties computed in accordance with the2001 AISI NASPEC.

8) Table not valid for openings in load-bearing walls.

Table Notes

1) The opening is centered vertically about the wall height.2) The assumed stud spacing adjacent to the opening is 16" O/C or less.3) The tabulated values assume a single HDS member is used at each

jamb stud.4) The tabulated values are limited to 16' for 3.625" walls and 20' for

6" walls. For wider openings or other conditions, contact DietrichDesign Group at 1-800-873-2443.

5) Depending on the actual window width versus the tabulated windowwidth, cells marked with an asterisk may require an end connectionthat will prevent web crippling. Web crippling is computed inaccordance with the AISI Standard for CFS Wall Stud Design 2004. End track must have a minimum thickness equal to the jamb stud.

6) The tabulated values are based on an unbraced length for bending of 6'.

7) Deflections are computed using 0.7 times the components andcladding wind load per Section B1 of the AISI Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Framing - Wall Design. Note that the 0.7 factor is not used for the interior 5 psf loading condition.

8) HDS properties computed in accordance with the 2001 AISI NASPEC.9) Table not valid for openings in load-bearing walls.

Table Notes

1) Studs are assumed to be simple span.2) Axial loads are assumed to pass through the geometric centroid of the section.3) Use 5 psf tables for interior walls.4) Cells marked with “**” meet L/600; cells marked with “*” meet L/360; unmarked cells meet L/240; blank cells do not meet L/240.5) A 1/3 stress increase is not used.6) Provide bridging and or bracing at at 5' O/C max.7) Studs are assumed to be mechanically braced. Sheathing braced design has not been used for this table.8) Studs are assumed punched with a maximum 1.5" centered web knockout at 18" O/C min.9) Capacities are calculated according to the AISI NASPEC, 2002.10) 20- and 18-gauge members are 33 ksi. 16-gauge and heavier are 50 ksi.11) Deflections are computed using 0.7 times the components and cladding wind load per Section B1 of the AISI Standard for

Cold-Formed Steel Framing - Wall Design. Note that the 0.7 factor is not used for the interior 5 psf loading condition.

Table Notes

1) Except for wind loads less than 15 psf, values are based on deflection calculations using 70% of components and cladding wind load. This is per IBC 2002 and the AISI Standard for CFS Wall Stud Design 2004.

2) Members are checked for simple span moment and deflection at mid-span, and end shear.3) Limiting heights marked with an asterisk (*) fail in web crippling per the AISI Standard for CFS Wall Stud Design 2004.

A web stiffener or connection that is not susceptible to web crippling is required.4) Check with your local Dietrich plant to verify if HDS members can be supplied in the length required for your job.

Some Dietrich plants can supply HDS members only in 20' maximum lengths.

Table Notes

1) Screws shall be attached in the pre-drilled holes provided.2) The allowable values for F1 and F4 are to be used only when the clip leg is attached to the CFS framing.

The screw pattern must be as shown above. The capacity of the attachment to other materials and structures mustbe checked separately.

3) This table is intended for use by qualified engineers only. It is the responsibility of the engineer to verify that thetabulated values apply to a specific connection application.

4) The screw diameter must be 0.19" (min) for #10 screws.5) The ultimate screw shear strength must be a minimum of 1400 lb. for #10 screws.6) Screws must be long enough so that at least 3 exposed threads are visible after installation.7) Allowable loads have not been increased 33% for wind or seismic.8) For connections made to 14 ga. (68 mils), and 12 ga. (97 mils), use the tabulated values for 16 ga. (54 mils),

50 ksi, when using TDSP (16 gauge). Similarly when TDSP (18 gauge) is used with thicker base materials, the values for 18 ga. x 33 ksi are to be used.

9) It is the responsibility of the design professional to detail the drawings for proper clip attachment.10) Contact Dietrich Design Group at 1-800-873-2443 for technical assistance.

G60Ecoatings for structural products will pass the 100-hour salt spray test applicable to “equivalent”coatings under ASTM A 1003, but cannot be certified by any supplier to meet the G60 minimum coatingstandard under ASTM C 955. The buyer is solely responsible to assure that products purchased properlysatisfy any applicable code or specification.

Yield Strength, Fy/(psi or ksi)Yield strength is the property by which the strength of steel is typically defined. Dietrich products aremanufactured with steel having a yield point of 33 ksi for all 18 and 20 gauge. 50 ksi is available in16, 14 and 12 gauge. Ksi is short for kips per square inch. One kip is equal to 1,000 pounds.

Recycled ContentLight-gauge steel framing is recognized as a recycled content product with the LEED Green BuildingRating System**. Dietrich Metal Framing™ products contain a high content of recycled steel.

** LEED and LEED Green Building Rating System are service marks of the U.S. Green Building Council.

Build Green with Dietrich Metal FramingLEED® stands for Leadership in Energy &Environmental Design. LEED® GreenBuilding Rating System, as promulgated bythe U.S. Green Building Council, is to improveenvironmental and economic performance

of commercial buildings using established or advanced industryprinciples, practices, materials and standards.

Dietrich recognizes the importance and growing agenda ofLEED®. We are members of the U.S. Green Building Counciland have LEED® Accredited Professionals on staff.

Dietrich Metal Framing can contribute toward LEED credits inseveral areas. In addition to recycled content, the environ-mental impacts resulting from transportation can be reducedas our sales and manufacturing facilities are located within300 miles of 85% of the U.S. population.

Contact your Dietrich representative. Ask how our metal framingproducts and accessories can contribute toward achieving LEED credits on your next project.

Materials and ResourcesMaterials & Resources Credit 4: Recycled Contentintends to increase demand for building products thatincorporate recycled content materials, therefore reducing impacts resulting from extraction and processing of new virgin materials. As discussed anddemonstrated below, steel building products contributepositively toward earning points under Credit 4.1 andCredit 4.2. The following is required by LEED Version 2.2:

Credit 4.1 (1 point) “Use materials with recycled contentsuch that the sum of post-consumer recycled contentplus one-half of the pre-consumer content constitutes atleast 10% of the total value of the materials in the project.”

Credit 4.2 (1 point) “Use materials with recycled contentsuch that the sum of post-consumer recycled contentplus one-half of the pre-consumer content constitutes atleast 20% of the total value of the materials in the project.”

“The value of the recycled content portion of a materialor furnishing shall be determined by dividing the weightof recycled content in the item by the total weight of allmaterial in the item, then multiplying the resulting percentage by the total value of the item.” Since steel(the material) and steel (the building product) are thesame, the value of the steel building product is directlymultiplied by steel’s recycled content, or:

Steel Recycled Content Value = (Value of Steel Product)(Post-Consumer % + 1/2 Pre-Consumer %)

The formula above calculates the post-consumer andpre-consumer recycled content percentages for NorthAmerican steel building products. These percentagesand values of steel building products are easily enteredinto the LEED Letter Template spreadsheet for calculation. To illustrate the application of these steelrecycled content values to LEED, manual calculations areshown below for typical Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) andElectric Arc Furnace (EAF) steel building products withnominal $10,000 purchases, using 2005 data. Steelbuilding products include light gauge steel framing,structural steel framing (wide flange beams, channels,angles, etc.), rebar, roofing, siding, decking, doors andsashes, windows, ductwork, pipe, fixtures, hardware(hinges, handles, braces, screws, nails), culverts, stormdrains, and manhole covers.

BOF Steel Recycled Content Value for Typical Product:

Steel Stud FramingValue = ($10,000) (24.6% + 1/2 6.6%) = ($10,000)

(27.9%) = $2,790(Exceeds 10% and 20% goals)

EAF Steel Recycled Content Value for Typical Product:

Wide-Flange Structural Steel FramingValue = ($10,000) (56.6% + 1/2 32.7%) = ($10,000)

(72.95%) = $7,295(Exceeds 10% and 20% goals)
