The GripClip®, exclusively offered by The Steel Network, is a cutting-edge accessory designed to streamline the attachment of drywall, sheathing, and other materials directly to steel beams and columns. Engineered for precision and efficiency, it provides a superior alternative to traditional framing methods, leveraging patented snap-tabs for quick and secure positioning of continuous angles—ideal for column-wrapping applications.
Key Features for SteelSmart System Users:
- Patented Snap Tabs: GripClip’s innovative snap tabs allow for seamless installation of continuous angles along steel beam or column corners without requiring screws, enabling faster and cleaner installations.
- Unmatched Versatility: Suitable for both fire-rated and non-fire-rated assemblies, GripClip adapts to diverse project needs with customizable flange size options, making it a reliable choice for light steel framing.
- Premium Material Quality: Constructed from certified 50ksi steel with a G90 coating, GripClip offers enhanced durability and strength, far outperforming alternatives with thinner 18 mil, G40 coatings.
- Secure Flange Grip: Delivers a stable, dependable attachment point for gypsum board, ensuring integrity and reliability in even the most demanding applications.
- Streamlined Efficiency: Eliminates the need for additional stud framing, saving valuable time and materials. This efficiency is particularly advantageous in column-wrapping projects requiring both aesthetic appeal and fire protection around structural steel.
