ABSTRACT:
A clip connector having a base and a clip, the base including a washer/spacer to prevent the base from clamping upon the clip to allow free movement of the clip in the base. The washer has a bore having a flared portion to collect shavings generated by a self-drilling screw. The clip connector includes a clip, or use with a roof, having a series of regularly spaced holes to allow sealant to pass therethrough. The clip further preferably has a rounded head which nests snugly with associated panels and includes a fastener extending through the foot of the clip to retain the foot in the desired position. In this manner, the overlapping portions of the foot remain pressed together, thereby facilitating the sliding of the clip within the base. The clip preferably includes a shelf to support panels during connection of the panels to the clip of the present invention.
