- Comprehensive load tables and engineering data for every clip and connector Dietrich Metal Framing offers
- Load table data for multiple fastening options, including welding, power-driven fastening, and screw connections to assist in determining the most efficient fastening method
- Detailed fastening instructions including fastening patterns to achieve various levels of performance based on condition requirements. Product illustrations and application drawings also are provided.
- An overview and highlight of each product, including full-color renderings and a review of each product's features and benefits.
- A comprehensive index and quick reference guide
- Downloadable CAD details available on dietrichmetalframing.com
In addition, Dietrich Metal Framing ensures product performance and reliability through rigorous testing in the company's own ICC-ES-approved in- house laboratory. The new catalog is divided into seven major product categories: deflection clips and connectors; head of wall deflection systems; rigid connectors; floor joist framing connectors; bridging, bracing and backing systems; truss framing; fire-rated connectors; and specialty clips. Most clips and connectors are available overnight through Dietrich Clip Express. They are shipped conveniently and in small-package quantities and most clips are shipped in resealable, waterproof buckets for easy handling on the job site.
