Slotted Deflection Track

A slotted deflection track or Slip track is a part of many steel framing system (SFS) wall assemblies where there is movement between the primary (Structural concrete or steel) and secondary structures (Light gauge steel framing). Building movements are initiated by any external forces like wind, seismic activity, and snow load.

In a region subject to heavy snowfall, a deflection track may be specified by code to counter the changes in roof loading that occur as the seasons change. Slotted deflection tracks come in different specifications to cope with a range of performance requirements.

On external walls, where cold-formed steel (CFS) studs are used slab-to-slab, slotted deflection track will allow the floor or roof above it to deflect so as not to transfer axial loads to the wall studs.
