PWR

Partition Wall Restraint

The PWR connector is used to laterally restrain the top of a non-load bearing
partition wall by connecting it to the floor joists above. The tapered slot allows for
joist deflection when it is loaded, while still restraining the partition wall.


• Provides lateral restraint to non-load bearing partition walls.
• Allows joist deflection.

Installation

Installation

Installation

  • Position the connector on top of the header rail and against the floor joist.
  • Secure the connector to the header rail with the specified fasteners.
  • The bottom of the location tab should sit on the top of the header rail.
  • Secure the connector to the joist with the specified fasteners, allowing a 1-2mm gap between the underside of the fastener head and the PWR connector. 
  • The fastener MUST be installed at the top of the tapered slot as this allows for the deflection of the joist.
  • Maximum gap between the partition and the joist is 15mm.
  • PLEASE NOTE:  The fastener into the joist  MUST be hand nailed to ensure the gap between the underside of the nail head and the PWR connector is maintained
