Slotted Z-Clip

The ZS clip allows I-joists off-cuts or solid sawn timber to be used as noggings between joists to support floor decks or partitions.

Fully interlocking top flange works on all I-joist header widths to prevent overlapping of opposing clips.
Slotted bottom flanges allows I-joist off-cuts to be used.
Triangular nail hole for use with 50mm wide headers, also it ensures that nails can be staggered when ZS clips are interlocked.
Embossed bottom flange provides greatly enhanced resistance to bending.
Obround nail holes in the bottom flange ensure easier angled nailing.

1. Loads are per noggin (NOT per ZS-Clip).

Use all specified fasteners
Nail to underside of the noggin
Place top flange onto header beam and nail in place
ZS clips interlock allowing back-to-back installation on any I-joist header width. Triangular holes prevent header nails from lining up

Step-by-Step Installation

Step 1 - nail into the underside of the chord (2 per ZS clip).

Step 2 - nail the ZS Clip into the end grain of the chord of the nogging pieces (optional – increases stability during installation).

Step 3 – Slot the noggin pieces into position

Step 4 – Secure with 2 No. nails (per Z clip) down into the top of the joist chord.

Note - Z Clips can be installed back-to-back for instances with continuous noggings.
