Abstract
A clip is provided for connecting either main runners end-to-end, or for connecting cross tees to a main runner. The clip comprises a first vertical portion configured to lie along the vertical web of a T-shaped runner or cross tee that has a central discontinuity to define first and second segments, the discontinuity permitting the clip to fit over a two-way intersection of cross tees with a main runner. Each of the first and second portions includes an elongated slot configured to slidably receive a fastener and an aperture configured to receive a fastener. The clip further comprises a second inverted generally J-shaped portion extending upwardly from the first vertical portion configured to receive the strengthening bulb of a T-shaped member, the second portion including a central discontinuity to permit the clip to fit over a two-way intersection of cross tees with a main runner. The J-shaped section also includes a tab extending outwardly therefrom adjacent the discontinuity, the tab including an aperture configured to receive a fastener, the J-shaped portion including reinforcement adjacent the discontinuity.
