HEADOFWALL DEFLECTION SYSTEMS

DEEP LEG DEFLECTION TRACK
This traditional assembly 
accommodates the deflection of 
floor beams or floor decks at the 
head-of-wall. The single long leg 
track assembly requires 1-1/2" 
cold-rolled channel and 1-1/2" x 
1-1/2" 16 gauge EasyClip™ clip 
angles (U-Series™) installed 
continuously throughout the 
upper-most punchouts to align 
the studs vertically within the 
plane of the wall. Deflection track 
details must be designed for the 
specific conditions of a building 
to accommodate the required 
deflection and end reactions of the 
studs. Deflection tracks cannot 
be used in axial load-bearing stud 
conditions or above continuous 
window spandrels.

DoubleTrack™ OVERTRACK SYSTEM
ClarkDietrich DoubleTrack™ 
system is a two-piece assembly 
that accommodates deflection of 
exterior curtain walls. A custom-
made deep leg outer track is 
installed to the underside of the 
floor deck. A wall assembly is 
constructed on the floor and slid 
into place, with a “gap” at the top for 
deflection. DoubleTrack deflection 
assemblies cannot be used in axial 
load-bearing stud conditions or 
above continuous window spandrels.
