Wind Uplift
Wind Uplift is a vertical force or pressure that is exerted on the roof structure of a building. The roof trusses are designed by the truss manufacturers to handle these loads. A standard clip or strap transfers the load from the roof truss to the load bearing top plate. CLP Systems rod assemblies transfer the load from the top plate to the foundation. No additional floor-to-floor straps or clips are required.

Advantages of the CLP System for Wind Uplift Resistance
Eliminates Conventional Wind Uplift Hardware Such As:
- Stud to top plate clips
- Floor-to-floor strapping
- Stud to sill plate clips
Simplifies the Inspection Process
Easier Installation
- Entire system is installed inside the building
- No horizontal drilling
- No bolting, screwing or nailing
