Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie SCS62-5/118-KT25 is a heavy-duty, 10-gauge seismic bypass framing slide clip engineered for both slide-clip and fixed-clip applications in areas of high seismic activity. This hybrid clip is purpose-built from the ground up - from its heavy-duty steel manufacturing to its strategically placed darts, to the precise location of its fastener slots and holes - to deliver exceptional resistance to in-plane seismic loads. Backed by real-world, full-scale cyclic testing, the SCS seismic clip delivers the highest seismic loads in the industry. Because slide-clip testing shows that attachment at the first slot is most critical to in-plane capacity, the SCS is designed to accommodate two large washer screws (included) at the first slot attached to the stud. This 25-count kit includes all necessary XLSH78B1414 #14 shouldered screws for immediate installation.
Key Features
- Full 1 In. Vertical Deflection: Slide slots used with shouldered washer screws (included) allow a full 1 in. of vertical deflection for reliable seismic performance.
- Precision-Located Ribs: Strategically placed ribs enhance strength while allowing ductility under seismic loading conditions.
- No-Equal Stamps for Accurate Installation: Simpson Strong-Tie No-Equal stamps alongside slide slots clearly indicate proper screw placement, reducing installation error.
- Dual-Function Design: Features prepunched oblong slots for slide-clip applications and small round holes for fixed-clip applications, meeting a wide range of load needs.
- Heavy-Duty 10-Gauge Steel: Manufactured from 10-gauge (118 mil) steel for robust, long-lasting structural performance.
- Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Zinc Galvanized (G90) coating protects against corrosion in demanding environments.
- Convenient Kit Quantity: Includes 25 connectors and 83 XLSH78B1414 #14 shouldered screws - everything needed for the job in one package.
- Made in the USA: Manufactured in the United States to Simpson Strong-Tie quality standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can this clip be used for both slide-clip and fixed-clip applications?
- Yes. The SCS62-5/118-KT25 is a dual-function hybrid clip. It features three prepunched oblong slots for slide-clip applications and a pattern of small round holes for fixed-clip applications, giving installers the flexibility to meet a range of load needs in a single connector.
- How much vertical deflection does this clip allow in slide-clip mode?
- When used in slide-clip mode with the included shouldered washer screws, the SCS clip allows a full 1 in. of vertical deflection, which is critical for reliable seismic performance in high-seismic areas.
- What screws are included with this kit, and how many are provided?
- Each kit includes 25 SCS connectors and 83 XLSH78B1414 #14 shouldered screws. These shouldered washer screws are designed specifically for use with the slide slots and are intended to be installed at the first slot, where attachment is most critical to in-plane seismic capacity.
- What material and coating are used on the SCS62-5/118-KT25 clip?
- The clip is made from 10-gauge (118 mil) steel and is finished with a G90 zinc galvanized coating for corrosion resistance. Precision-located ribs are built into the clip to enhance strength while allowing ductility under seismic loading conditions.
