ClarkDietrich Building Systems
ClarkDietrich’s BlazeFrame RipTRAK is a fire-rated head-of-wall deflection track for roof and wall assemblies. It is available in one- and two-hour rated systems. BlazeFrame RipTRAK has an offset shoulder that represents the thickness of the wall material. A second piece of board is fit flush to the fluted deck or slab and is then attached to the shoulder, which allows the deck and the product to move in relation to the wall studs. This also allows the outer, overlapping board, the rip board, attached to BlazeFrame RipTRAK, to slide over primary wall board material for a high degree of deflection.
