TRAKLOC® STUDS

TRAKLOC studs are available in two configurations:

• TRAKLOC Deflection Stud (TLD)
• TRAKLOC Elevator Stud (TLE)

The Deflection (TLD) and Elevator (TLE) are two-piece components which
allow for the telescoping feature unique to TRAKLOC. The two-piece
components arrive pre-assembled to help speed assembly. The installer simply
inserts the top end of the stud in the top track and then extends the stud
(telescoping) to the proper length to engage the bottom end of the stud in the Y

bottom track. The unique swage at the end of each stud allows for quick, tight
installation eliminating the need for framing screws or a lift/ladder to install
the framing screws.

BlazeFrame RipTRAK is a deflection

represents the thickness of the
gypsum board (5/8" or 1-1/4”). A
second piece of gypsum board (wall
cladding strips) is fit flush to the
underside of the slab (w/sealant) or
to a fluted deck (without castle cuts
& sealant), and is then fastened to
the shoulder. This allows the roof/
floor assembly and the BlazeFrame
RipTRAK to move in relation to the
wall assembly. This also allows the
wall cladding strips (the rip board)
that is attached to the BlazeFrame
RipTRAK to slide over the primary
wall assembly.

RedHeader PRO™

Rough openings made easy.

Interior and exterior door and window framing is a whole lot easier with RedHeader PRO™.
RedHeader PRO can cut your labor time in half. It’s designed to replace conventional boxed
headers and built-up jambs and provide better results in half the time. One-piece headers and
jambs eliminate the additional studs, track and screws required to frame conventional rough
openings. Headers and jambs are also pre-cut to specified lengths to eliminate field cutting.

Ultimate load capacity for headers and jambs.

The ClarkDietrich HDS® Framing System provides outstanding bending strength in two
directions and superior axial strength. Plus, it reduces material, labor costs and installation
time by up to 50%. The superior strength and carrying capacity of the HDS means higher
performance with fewer members, like eliminating box beam headers, nesting track and stud
for posts and jambs. It also means improved finish quality by eliminating excessive material
and screw head buildup around doors and windows. The HDSC header bracket is a unique,
prepunched clip that turns a two-person curtain wall header installation into a one-person job.
• Use for curtain wall headers, jambs and sills; drywall headers and jambs; load-bearing jambs, and more.
• Openings up to 20' wide
• Eliminates multi-member built-up truss chords and webs
• Improves drywall finishing around doors and windows
