Tracklok Vert
Description

Service clashes are inevitable and although the Tracklok range provides flexibility with bracing angles from 30° to 60° and across the wall at up to 45°, there will always be some projects where even this is not enough. Tracklok Vert gives the installer a tool to use a vertical brace on one arm allowing for the ultimate in clash avoidance.

Key Features
  • Tested with head track and full wall construction to provide confidence
  • Provides seismic separation, preserving ceiling warranty
  • Ensures validity of installers PS3
  • Tested under ULS and SLS loads to ensure longevity of performance
  • Unique design allows for 50mm of inter-storey drift
  • Top plate pivot points allow for 90mm of in-line wall deflection
  • Unique design allows for 20mm of wall 'spring back' in ULS event
  • Unit allows a 30° – 60° bracing angle to mitigate service clashes
  • Unit tested to 45° off wall axis to mitigate service clashes
  • Allows lining and bracing at the same time providing efficiencies on site
Scope of Use
  • For interior application only. Designed to secure timber partition walls and glazed walls. 
  • Must be installed in accordance with manufacturers specification and within the parameters of AS/NZS1170.
  • Architect and/or Structural engineer and relevant regulatory bodies must approve variations of installation.
Limitations on Use
  • Not applicable for supporting walls constructed from concrete, tilt slab or block.
  • Structural engineer and regulatory body must seismically approve configurations outside of specifications.
  • The unit and or bracing material must not be used as an anchor point or fixing point by associated trades.
  • Use of this product does not increase the seismic load capacity of installed ceiling grid.
  • The unit must not be deformed or altered in any way. Ceiling void heights over 2.0 meters require stud bracing to be boxed.
  • Tenancy changes requiring walls to be moved require new units to be installed.
Statement of Building Code Compliance
  • Complies to and provides compliance with AS/NZS 1170.5 and AS/NZS 4219
  • Provides compliance with NZ Building Code Clause B1 – Structure, B2 – Durability, F2 – Hazardous Building Materials

  • Can be used in plenum spaces up to 4.0m deep
  • Separates wall system from ceiling system
  • Preserves ceiling manufacturers warranty
  • Allows ceiling installer to provide PS3
  • Can be used as part of an engineer's specific design
