Viking Clip · Rainscreen · reviewed September 14, 2026
What the manufacturer actually lists
A wood rainscreen system. Species-level VC2 approval and an exact profile match have not been established from a current technical submittal.
Named species / categories
No species-specific listing established for this exact record. The material category above is not blanket approval.
Explicit exclusions
No exhaustive exclusion list found. Absence of a prohibition is not approval.
Conditions that change the answer
- The system owner distinguishes VC2 from the original clip by its no-batten mounting concept.
- No verified VC2 clip envelope, cavity depth, screw schedule, orientation limits or tested capacity is available in this review.
- The original Viking species offerings do not, by themselves, verify a VC2 assembly.
Connection anatomy
Follow the wall attachment
The wall layers and mounting distinction are shown. Clip shape, fixing angle and embedment are withheld because the reviewed information does not establish them.
Read with the exact product instructions. Features are simplified for visibility; these are not production drawings or structural details.
Dimensions belong to different parts
Installed gap, clip size, board thickness and groove cut are separate measurements. Mill tolerances and the sold accessory match remain separate approvals.
| Measurement | Inches | Millimeters | Applies to / limitation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clip envelope / stand-off / reveal | Unverified | — | Needs Verification against the VC2 submittal; no original-Viking values carried over. |
Metric values are calculated conversions, not added manufacturing precision.
The screw is part of the system
Needs Verification: screw, substrate, embedment, spacing and corrosion suitability must be specified together.
Installation sequence
Obtain the VC2-specific submittal, not the original Viking installation sheet.
Match the supplied siding profile and board condition to the VC2 interface.
Verify the structural sheathing, fixing schedule, weather-barrier penetrations and ventilation design.
Use the project-approved detail for installation; the relationship graphic here is not a fixing schedule.
