Fast Strut™ (FS12, FS15, FS18, FS20, FS22, FS24)
Used for large standoff conditions
ClarkDietrich Fast Strut™ curtain-wall connector employs the Fast Clip™ technology for curtain-wall stud attachment and is commonly used when large stand-off conditions exist. Provides vertical movement up to 2-1/2" (1-1/4" up and 1-1/4" down).
Quick Actions:
Fast Strut™ products are available in standard lengths of 12-1/4" and 15-1/4" and custom lengths of up to 24" long to allow framing attachment well beyond the perimeter of the structural steel or when the spandrel beams are set back from the edge of the structure. Struts are attached to the underside of structural members with screws, welds, or powder-actuated fasteners. Proprietary Deflection Screws are provided with each strut to ensure friction-free sliding. FS12 and FS15 are embossed with fastening patterns to ensure accurate placement of the fasteners.
- Vertical movement up to 2-1/2" (1-1/4" up and 1-1/4" down).
