Simpson HWDC5.25-KT25 Head-Of-Wall Drift-Clip Connector, Pkg 25

The Simpson Strong-Tie head-of-wall drift-clip connector (HWDC) is used to secure the head of a wall to the bottom of a slab or beam. The unique design allows anchor screws to be installed closer to the bend, providing a stronger and stiffer connection while also allowing 1" horizontal and 1" vertical movement during seismic and high-wind events. HWDC5.25 provides anchorage location options with a third slot providing a solution for clips overhanging beam flanges.  HWDC connectors are an optimal solution for adding strength to window or door jambs at head-of-wall connections and include XLSH78B1414 shoulder screws for installation. Tested load values are provided for anchorage to steel and concrete.
