- The Non-Load Bearing Connector fastening system is designed for connecting the top plate of non-load bearing walls to trusses above. It allows for vertical movement of the truss while providing lateral stability to the wall.
Faster Installation: Connections can be made up to 10x faster, significantly reducing labor.
Safer Installations: Replacing clips and nails means no pneumatic nail gun or hoses, and installation from the floor surface eliminates the need for ladders or scaffolding.
Cost Effective Installations: Eliminating the need for double top plates on non-load bearing walls provides meaningful material savings on the overall project.

We were the first in Texas to use this. It is a life saver and much safer to install. Great job FastenMaster
Someone was thinking when they came up with this!!!
What do you do at the floor slab to keep the wall from shifting?
So the 2nd top plate HAS TO be omitted?
cmm170526 no not required but you have the option to eliminate one of them to save on material cost if you so choose. NLB is compliant up to a 1.5” gap.
What about the drywall finish on the ceiling? Wont that crack up to the amount of play allowed in that screw?
Great question! Actually it will prevent drywall from cracking by preventing inadvertent loads from being placed on the non-load bearing wall.
@@FastenMasterPro my question would be the tape joint at the top of the wall. If the ceiling is fastened directly to the truss, any movement of that ceiling is going to crack the tape joint at the inside corner of the wall and ceiling.
@@adam10102 Yes this was my intent in my question too. I'm unsure how movement is good when it comes to that tape joint between interior walls and the trusses. Also im up here in a colder climate in Wisconsin. So plenty of expansion and contraction with heat and snow loads
