ABSTRACT:
A metal connector connects perpendicular members of a structural wall to allow the structural wall to absorb a heaving floor. The connector is rigidly connected to a horizontal wall member, and is flexibly connected to a vertical wall member. The flexible connection is comprised of a rod or nail that passes through a vertical slot in the connector into the vertical wall member. In this way, when a heaving floor forces up the horizontal member, the vertical member is allowed to slide down the slot of the connector. The vertical member is rigidly attached to the connector in the other directions.
