INSTALLATION

  • Header Cripple Stud Clips are attached to the cold-formed steel (CFS) framing members using #10 minimum self-drilling screws driven through the clip holes into the steel framing.
  • It is the responsibility of the design engineer to detail the attachment of clips and verify their capacity meets the application.
  • Place the first two screws in each leg in the outermost screw holes. The next screws (if needed) are placed moving from the outermost holes toward the center, symmetrically.
