Side lap attachment system has high diaphragm capacities
ASC Steel Deck, a business unit of ASC Profiles LLC, offers DeltaGrip Side Lap Attachment System, a steel deck mechanical side-seam attachment system for high diaphragm shear capacities. The system provides high diaphragm capacities similar to top seam welds. The DeltaGrip tool punches three triangular tabs through standing seam interlock side-seams with the rapid action of a pneumatically powered tool. Additionally, the DeltaGrip side lap attachment eliminates field touchups, leaving the undersides of exposed steel decks free of undesirable burn marks. DeltaGrip steel deck profiles consist of roof, cellular roof, acoustic roof and acoustic cellular roof deck panels with galvanized and primer paint finishes.
