EasyClip™ USeries™ CLIP ANGLE
ClarkDietrich EasyClip™ U-Series™
clip angles are used to secure
U-channel to wall studs for lateral
bridging or for miscellaneous rigid
connections. U-channel is passed
through the stud knockout and an
EasyClip U-Series clip is screw-
attached or welded to provide
a rigid connection. These clips
are prepunched for faster, more
accurate fastener placement. Do
not use in bridging applications
when the stud width exceeds 6".

EasyClip BSeries™ CLIP ANGLE
ClarkDietrich EasyClip B-Series™
clip angles are used to secure
U-channel to wall studs in back-
to-back framing applications and
for various miscellaneous rigid
connections. The shorter length
of the B-Series clip enables it to
be installed inside the C-shape. It
can also be used to secure lateral
bridging on single studs where
the clip is preferred to be inside
the C-shape. Do not use in lateral
bridging when stud width exceeds 6".
