Technical Features
- Galvanized steel construction (20 gauge): Provides corrosion resistance suitable for roof sheathing environments where moisture exposure is a consideration.
- 7/16 in panel size compatibility: Precisely matched to 7/16 in plywood thickness, ensuring a secure, slip-resistant fit between adjacent panels without additional fasteners.
- Embossed dimples with built-in spacer feature: Automatically maintains the APA-recommended 1/8 in expansion gap between panels, eliminating the need for manual measuring or separate spacer tools during installation.
- Single clip per span installation: One clip per span supports up to a 24 in maximum roof span, simplifying material estimation and reducing installation time on large sheathing projects.
- Structural deflection reduction: Clip design provides lateral support at panel edges, reducing normal plywood deflection between framing members for a more rigid finished deck.
Applications
- Roof sheathing installation where plywood panels require edge support between rafters or trusses
- Panelized construction requiring consistent panel spacing and structural continuity at unsupported edges
- Projects requiring APA-compliant 1/8 in panel gap maintenance without manual measurement
- Residential and light commercial framing applications with spans up to 24 in
