The NLB Fastening System is designed for connecting the top plate of non-load bearing walls to trusses or joists above. It allows for vertical movement of the trusses while providing lateral stability to the wall.

• The top plate of non-load bearing walls must be connected at the top to resist the code-required lateral loading of 5 pounds per square foot of wall area
• A gap must be left between the wall and the truss or joist to allow for vertical movement due to live loads and seasonal changes
• If built without a gap, loads can be transferred onto these walls that could cause serviceability issues leading to callbacks
• Currently this type of gapped connection requires a clip that must be installed from above the plate and sometimes from both sides of the truss
