Comp Clip

Manufacturer's Specification

Flannery’s Comp Clip (Patent Pending) is a revolutionary fastening clip for steel studs and is composed of 20 Gauge Spring Steel. The Comp Clip is inserted around a metal stud and then “slid” into position over the deflection track. Since the Comp Clip is slid onto the deflection track it allows it to have 100% unobstructed movement. It also allows the installer to install Comp Clips to both sides of the stud from just one side.

Since the Comp Clip does not need a fastener, it can be used with the floor track reducing the bulge that  occurs from screw heads behind the drywall. Pre-punched holes are provided at each end of the Comp Clip should local building codes require fasteners. The Comp Clip can be ordered with either a 1 3/8" or 1 5/8" slot for whichever size stud the job requires. Flannery’s Comp Clip has been tested by Intertek, a Warnock Hersey testing facility (Test # 3078012). It has also received UL # R25477. For additional technical assistance or information about the Comp Clip, please contact Flannery. All Flannery steel and vinyl trims are manufactured according to standard specifications for accessories of gypsum wallboard and gypsum veneer base. ASTM designation C 1047-85.

Door & Window Framing Application

Flannery’s Comp Clip can also be utilized at all door and window framing members. Every door and window requires double studs on both sides, yet this does not keep the Comp Clip from doing the job. Simply cut the Comp Clip in half and insert one around the one side of the double studs and the other around the other side. A fastener through each piece of Comp Clip is required for this type of installation.
