Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie RCKW3DS-R10 RCKW 3-in. Two-Anchor Kneewall Connector Stiffener (Qty-10) is a heavy 171 mil (7 ga.) stiffener engineered to nest onto the RCKW clip, significantly optimizing overturning moment resistance and stiffness at the base of exterior kneewalls, parapets, interior partial-height walls, and overhead ribbon window conditions. When load demands exceed standard RCKW clip capacity, the RCKWS stiffener provides the additional anchorage strength needed, with screw holes and anchor holes that align precisely with those in the RCKW clip for straightforward fastener and anchor installation. This package contains 10 stiffeners.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the purpose of the RCKWS stiffener and when should it be used?
- The RCKWS stiffener is designed to add capacity to the RCKW clip when load demands exceed the standard connector's capability. The 171 mil (7 ga.) stiffener nests onto the RCKW clip and is secured with screws, optimizing overturning moment resistance and stiffness at the base of exterior kneewalls, parapets, interior partial-height walls, and overhead ribbon window conditions.
- What type and size of anchors are compatible with the RCKW3DS stiffener?
- The RCKW3DS stiffener features (2) large-diameter anchor holes that accommodate 1/2-in. diameter concrete screw anchors and wedge anchors, such as the Simpson Strong-Tie Titen HD heavy-duty screw anchor and the Strong-Bolt 2 wedge anchor.
- Does the RCKWS stiffener include the RCKW clip, and what connector should it be used with?
- The RCKW clip and RCKWS stiffener are sold separately. The RCKW3DS stiffener must be used in conjunction with the RCKW3D clip, along with all specified screws and anchors.
- How does the G90 galvanized coating benefit the RCKW3DS stiffener?
- The Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating provides corrosion resistance, helping to maintain the structural integrity and longevity of the stiffener in demanding installation environments.
