The Trim-Tex 9220 is a 10 ft wall-mounted deflection bead for drywall joints subject to building movement. Its flexible gasket compresses and expands to seal the joint during deflection of up to 7/16 in., preventing inside corner cracking. Sold by the 10 ft length; full cartons contain 48 pieces.
Key Features
- Prevents cracks: Prevents drywall cracking at inside corners where walls meet deflection-related movement.
- Flexible gasket: A flexible gasket forms a perfect seal within the joint and compresses and expands during deflection up to 7/16 in.
- Easy install: Designed for straightforward installation on wall-mounted joints.
- Built to last: Manufacturer describes the bead as built to last in movement joints.
- 10 ft length: Each piece is 10 ft long to span standard wall heights and reduce joints.

Coverage and How Much You Need
One piece covers 10 linear feet of wall joint. Measure the total linear footage of deflection joints and divide by 10 ft per piece, allowing for cuts at openings.
Fit and Compatibility
Use where a wall joint meets a deflection condition, such as walls under structural deflection or at slip conditions with the top track; install with standard Trim-Tex bead tools and finishing compounds. No specific companion system parts are required.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included?
Each order unit is one 10 ft wall-mounted deflection bead; cartons are packed 48 pieces each.
How much deflection does it handle?
The flexible gasket compresses and expands to accommodate deflection of up to 7/16 in.
Where should I use it?
Use it at wall joints subject to building movement where inside corner cracking is a risk, mounting the bead to the wall before finishing.
How much do I need?
Calculate the linear feet of the joint and divide by 10 ft per piece to get the quantity needed.
How is it installed?
The bead is mounted to the wall at the joint, then finished with joint compound like standard drywall trim; the manufacturer rates it easy to install.
Product Expert Notes
Choose a wall-mounted deflection bead wherever a partition top must accommodate structural deflection; the 7/16 in. gasket travel covers typical movement ranges for many commercial assemblies. Mount the bead plumb and leave the gasket free to move so the seal works as designed. Order by total linear footage and round up for waste at corners and openings.
