A flange clip for a support channel, comprising:
- a wall section;
- an upper surface extending outwardly away from an upper edge of the wall section at a substantially ninety-degree angle;
- and
- a lower surface extending outwardly away from a lower edge of the wall section at a substantially ninety-degree angle in an opposite direction as the upper surface, wherein the lower surface:
- is configured to receive a first end of the support channel;
- and
- comprises a ridge for bonding the lower surface to the first end of the support channel, wherein the ridge comprises an upwardly curving surface that is oriented perpendicular to a length of the support channel.
