The Simpson Strong-Tie DSHS Drift Stopper is engineered to help limit lateral deflection in curtain-wall and other non-load-bearing cold-formed steel stud assemblies. Designed for use with the DSSCB drift stopper plate (sold separately), this connector provides a strong, secure connection that resists sliding under lateral loads while allowing vertical movement.

Made from 97 mil (12 gauge) galvanized steel, the DSHS connector is ideal for helping structures absorb movement from seismic or wind activity while maintaining overall structural integrity.

Key Features:

• Deflection Control: Helps control lateral deflection in curtain-wall stud applications while permitting vertical movement.
• Steel Construction: Made from 97 mil (12 gauge) steel for strength and durability.
• Galvanized Finish: Corrosion-resistant coating ensures reliable performance in interior and protected exterior environments.
• Code Compliance: Designed to meet IAPMO and AISI standards when installed per Simpson guidelines.

Applications:

• Cold-formed steel framing
• Curtain-wall systems
• Non-load-bearing interior and exterior walls
• Mid-rise and high-rise construction in seismic and high-wind zones

Installation Notes:

• Designed for use with DSSCB drift stopper plates (sold separately).
• Fasten to stud framing using (6) #10 screws (provided with plate).
• Install per manufacturer guidelines to ensure proper vertical slip and lateral resistance.
