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.
