Installation

Installation:

Extended SwiftClip™ LE-Series are attached to cold-formed steel framing members using #10 minimum selfdrilling screws. Clips can also be welded to the cold-formed steel framing. Connections to the building frame can be made with powder-actuated fasteners, drill-in concrete anchors or welding. The appropriate type, number and placement of fasteners need to be determined by a design professional and engineer of record.
