HEADOFWALL DEFLECTION SYSTEMS
ClarkDietrich Fast Top™ clips are
used in head-of-wall deflection
conditions for in-fill curtain wall
assemblies to provide for vertical
movement. These clips are used
in place of, or in combination
with, deflection track. They also
make a positive attachment and
eliminate the need to install bridging
continuously throughout the upper-
most punchouts. Attach to the
underside of structural members,
concrete decks or floor assemblies.
Studs must be cut less than full
height to enable vertical movement
up to 2-1/2" (1-1/4" up and down).

Fast Top™ C L I P
This traditional assembly allows for
the deflection of floor beams or
floor decks above interior partitions.
The single, long leg track assembly
requires 1-1/2" cold-rolled channel
(CHN2) and 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" 16 gauge
EasyClip™ Clip Angles (U-Series™),
installed continuously throughout
the upper-most punchouts (must
be a maximum of 12" from the top
track), to align the studs vertically
within the plane of the wall.
ClarkDietrich DoubleTrack™
system is a two-piece top track
assembly that allows for the
deflection of floor beams or floor
decks along interior partitions. A
custom-made long leg outer track
is installed to the underside of
the floor deck. A wall assembly is
constructed on the floor then slid
into place. The wall assembly is
designed to allow a “gap” at the top
for deflection.
