For superior head-of-wall vertical deflection, and the added benefit of horizontal drift movement, ClarkDietrich the MaxTrak® Slotted Deflection Track. The MaxTrak System allows the top of the wall stud to float within the track legs. This connection allows for vertical live load movement of the primary structure without transferring axial loads to the wall studs.
