The Simpson Strong-Tie SC62-5/118-KT25 is a 6 in. 10-gauge bypass framing slide-clip connector engineered for exceptional performance in high-seismic applications. SC connectors are the optimal solution for slide-clip bypass framing, offering anchorage versatility that accommodates welding, concrete screws, or powder-actuated fasteners - making them equally at home in demanding structural assemblies across seismic zones. Manufactured from heavy-duty 118 mil (10 ga.) steel at 50 ksi with a Zinc Galvanized G90 finish, these clips deliver exceptional resistance to in-plane seismic load. Each kit includes 25 slide-clip connectors plus 83 precision-manufactured XLSH78B1414 #14 shouldered screws, providing everything needed for a complete, code-compliant installation on 6 in. studs. No-Equal stamps at the center of the slots ensure proper shouldered screw placement every time, while embossments along the bend line add strength and stiffness without interfering with weld placement at the top and bottom of the clip.

Key Features

• Provides a full 3/4 in. of both upward and downward deflection for reliable seismic performance
• Embossments in the bend line provide increased strength and stiffness in the F1 and F2 load directions, 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
• Prepunched large-diameter anchor holes accommodate 1/4 in. diameter concrete screws like 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
• Precision-manufactured shouldered screws, provided with SC connectors, are designed to prevent overdriving and to ensure the clip functions properly
• 6 in. clip length, suitable for 6 in. stud; the maximum standoff distance is 1-1/2 in. for 6 in. studs
• Made from 118 mil (10 ga.) steel; 50 ksi for heavy-duty structural integrity
• Zinc Galvanized G90 coating for corrosion resistance
• No-Equal stamps at the center of the slots ensure proper shouldered screw placement
• SC clips may be welded to the structure in high-seismic zones or fastened via anchorage holes
• Quantity: 25 connectors per package
• Made in the United States

Frequently Asked Questions

What stud size is the SC62-5/118-KT25 designed for, and what is the maximum standoff distance?

This slide-clip connector is specifically designed for use with 6 in. studs. The maximum standoff distance for 6 in. studs is 1-1/2 in.

What fastening methods can be used to attach the SC clip to the structure?

The SC clip supports multiple attachment methods. It can be welded directly to the structure, which is common in high-seismic zones. Alternatively, the prepunched large-diameter anchor holes accommodate 1/4 in. diameter concrete screws such as the Simpson Strong-Tie Titen HD, and 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.

What is included in the SC62-5/118-KT25 kit?

Each kit includes 25 slide-clip connectors and 83 XLSH78B1414 #14 precision-manufactured shouldered screws. These shouldered screws are designed to prevent overdriving and to ensure the clip functions properly during installation.

What material and finish are used on these slide-clip connectors?

The SC62-5/118-KT25 connectors are made from 118 mil (10 ga.) heavy-duty steel with a 50 ksi rating, and they feature a Zinc Galvanized G90 finish for corrosion resistance.
