EasyClip™ ESeries™ SUPPORT CLIP
ClarkDietrich EasyClip™ E-Series™ 
support clips are used for rigid 
stando connections. The 4" wide 
leg provides extra length to achieve 
stando connections up to 3". 
These support clips are commonly 
used in bypass wall conditions, 
solid blocking attachments in 
joist framing, and to secure rafter 
framing to the primary structure. 
EasyClip E-Series support clips are 
prepunched for faster and more 
accurate fastener placement.

EasyClip  QuickTwist™ WEB STIFFENER
EasyClip QuickTwist™ web 
stiffeners are used to provide 
reinforcement of joist webs 
to prevent crippling. Web 
reinforcement is often required 
by design to enhance the load 
capacity of joists. The unique 
design of QuickTwist allows the 
installer to insert the stiffener 
on the inside of the joist after the 
joist is installed. This stiffener 
eliminates the need to pre-insert 
traditional web stiffeners prior to 
joist installation.
