Product Description
The Simpson SC82-5/118-KT25 Bypass Framing Slide Clip is an 8 in., 10-gauge cold-formed steel connector engineered as the optimal solution for slide-clip bypass framing in curtain-wall and new construction applications. Ideal for high-seismic areas, Simpson SC connectors are manufactured using heavy-duty 118 mil steel at 50 ksi to provide exceptional resistance to in-plane seismic load. SC clips can be welded directly to the structure in high-seismic zones or anchored using concrete screws or powder-actuated fasteners through prepunched anchor holes, offering outstanding anchorage versatility. No-Equal stamps at the center of the slots ensure proper shouldered screw placement, and this kit arrives complete with 25 connectors and 110 precision-manufactured XLSH78B1414 #14 shouldered screws so the assembly is job-ready from the moment it arrives on site.
Key Features
- Full 3/4 in. upward and downward deflection - accommodates live load and thermal movement in both directions, reducing stress on the framing system and helping structures perform reliably over time.
- Embossments positioned at the bend line toward the center of the clip - increase strength and stiffness in the F1 and F2 load directions while still leaving room for 1 1/2 in. long welds at the top and bottom of the clip, so welded and anchored installations are both fully supported.
- Prepunched large-diameter anchor holes sized for 1/4 in. diameter concrete screws - compatible with the Simpson Strong-Tie Titen HD, giving installers a fast, reliable anchoring method without field drilling.
- Prepunched small-diameter anchor holes for powder-actuated fasteners - accept the 0.157 in. diameter Simpson Strong-Tie PDPAT or the #12 self-drilling Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive XL Large-Head Metal screw, providing flexible fastening options to match job-site conditions.
- Precision-manufactured shouldered screws included - designed to prevent overdriving and ensure the clip functions properly, eliminating guesswork and protecting clip performance during installation.
- No-Equal stamps at the center of the slots - guide installers to the correct shouldered screw placement every time, reducing installation errors on fast-moving framing crews.
- Made from 118 mil (10 ga.) steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers heavy-duty structural capacity combined with corrosion protection suited for demanding construction environments.
Why This Product
- Engineered specifically for high-seismic bypass framing - the SC connector is purpose-built to resist in-plane seismic loads, making it a trusted choice for seismic new construction and curtain-wall projects where performance under lateral forces is non-negotiable.
- Multiple attachment methods in a single connector - welding, concrete screws, and powder-actuated fasteners are all supported through the same clip, giving structural teams the flexibility to use the anchoring method that best suits the substrate and project requirements.
- Kit format means no sourcing screw hardware separately - the 110 included XLSH78B1414 #14 shouldered screws are matched precisely to the connectors, so everything needed for a complete, code-consistent installation ships together.
- Bidirectional deflection capacity protects the framing system long-term - by allowing 3/4 in. of movement both upward and downward, the SC clip helps prevent load transfer into non-structural walls, reducing the risk of damage from building movement, thermal cycling, or live-load deflection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the SC82-5/118-KT25 kit?
The kit includes 25 SC slide-clip connectors and 110 XLSH78B1414 #14 precision-manufactured shouldered screws. The shouldered screws are designed to prevent overdriving and ensure the clip functions properly.
What stud size is this clip designed for, and what is the maximum standoff distance?
This clip is designed for use with 8 in. studs. The maximum standoff distance is 1-1/2 in. for 8 in. studs.
What fastener options can be used to anchor the SC clip to a structure?
The SC clip offers multiple anchorage options. The prepunched large-diameter anchor holes accommodate 1/4 in. diameter concrete screws such as the Simpson Strong-Tie Titen HD. The prepunched small-diameter anchor holes accommodate powder-actuated fasteners like the 0.157 in. diameter Simpson Strong-Tie PDPAT or the #12 self-drilling Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive XL Large-Head Metal screw. The clips can also be welded directly to the structure, which is common in high-seismic zones.
What material and finish is used on these slide clips?
The SC82-5/118-KT25 clips are made from 118 mil (10 ga.) steel rated at 50 ksi and are finished with a Zinc Galvanized G90 coating for corrosion resistance.
