Product Features
Product Description
Ideal for high-seismic areas, the Simpson Strong-Tie SC32-5/97-KT25 is a 3-1/2 in., 12-gauge bypass framing slide-clip connector engineered as the optimal solution for slide-clip bypass framing applications. SC clips are often welded to the structure in high-seismic zones, but they also feature anchorage holes so that concrete screws or powder-actuated fasteners can be used to attach the clip to the structure. In addition to anchorage versatility, SC clips include No-Equal stamps at the center of the slots to ensure proper shouldered screw placement. SC connectors are manufactured using heavy-duty steel to provide exceptional resistance to in-plane seismic load. This kit includes 25 connectors plus the precision-manufactured shouldered screws needed for a complete, code-ready installation.
Key Features
- Full 3/4 in. Bi-Directional Deflection: Provides a full 3/4 in. of both upward and downward deflection, accommodating structural movement in high-seismic conditions.
- Bend-Line Embossments: Embossments in the bend line provide increased strength and stiffness in the F1 and F2 load directions, but are positioned towards the center of the clip so that 1-1/2 in. long welds can be applied at the top and bottom of the clip.
- Large-Diameter Anchor Holes: Prepunched large-diameter anchor holes accommodate 1/4 in. diameter concrete screws like the Simpson Strong-Tie Titen HD.
- Small-Diameter Anchor Holes: 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.
- Precision Shouldered Screws Included: Precision-manufactured shouldered screws, provided with SC connectors, are designed to prevent overdriving and to ensure the clip functions properly.
- Compatible with 3-5/8 in. Studs: 3-1/2 in. clip length, suitable for 3-5/8 in. stud; the maximum standoff distance is 1 in. for 3-5/8 in. studs.
- Heavy-Duty 12-Gauge Steel: Made from 97 mil (12 ga.) steel; 50 ksi for long-lasting structural performance.
- G90 Galvanized Coating: Zinc Galvanized, G90 finish provides corrosion resistance for demanding construction environments.
- Quantity of 25: 25 connectors per package, ideal for larger framing projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What stud size is the SC32-5/97-KT25 compatible with?
- This slide clip is designed for use with 3-5/8 in. studs. The clip has a 3-1/2 in. length, and the maximum standoff distance is 1 in. for 3-5/8 in. studs.
- What fastening options are available for attaching the clip to the structure?
- The SC clip offers multiple anchorage options. Prepunched large-diameter anchor holes accommodate 1/4 in. diameter concrete screws such as the Simpson Strong-Tie Titen HD. 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. In high-seismic zones, clips are also commonly welded directly to the structure, and embossments are positioned toward the center of the clip so that 1-1/2 in. long welds can be applied at the top and bottom.
- What is included in the SC32-5/97-KT25 kit?
- Each kit includes 25 SC connectors and 55 XLSH78B1414 #14 shouldered screws. The precision-manufactured shouldered screws are designed to prevent overdriving and to ensure the clip functions properly.
- How much deflection does this clip provide, and what material is it made from?
- The SC32-5/97-KT25 provides a full 3/4 in. of both upward and downward deflection, making it well suited for high-seismic applications. It is manufactured from 97 mil (12-gauge) steel rated at 50 ksi, with a Zinc Galvanized G90 finish.
