Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie SCS62-5/97-KT25 is a heavy-duty, hybrid seismic bypass framing slide clip engineered specifically to allow both slide-clip and fixed-clip applications in areas of high seismic activity. Fabricated from 12-gauge (97 mil) steel and finished with a Zinc Galvanized (G90) coating for lasting corrosion resistance, every element of the SCS clip - from its precision-located ribs and strategically placed darts to the arrangement of its fastener slots and holes - has been purpose-built to deliver exceptional resistance to in-plane seismic loads. Backed by real-world, full-scale cyclic testing, the SCS clip delivers the highest seismic loads in the industry. This kit includes 25 connectors and 83 XLSH78B1414 #14 shouldered screws so your crew has everything needed to get the job done right.
Key Features
- Full 1 in. of Vertical Deflection: Slide slots used with shouldered washer screws (included) allow a full 1 in. of vertical deflection, accommodating building movement in high-seismic zones.
- Precision-Located Ribs: Strategically positioned ribs enhance strength while allowing the ductility needed to perform under cyclic seismic loading.
- No-Equal Placement Stamps: Simpson Strong-Tie No-Equal stamps alongside the slide slots clearly indicate proper screw placement, reducing installer error and ensuring code-compliant installation.
- Dual-Function Design: Three prepunched oblong slots enable slide-clip applications while a pattern of small round holes provides fixed-clip options, meeting a wide range of load needs in both seismic and non-seismic applications.
- Two Large Washer Screws at First Slot: 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.
- 12-Gauge (97 mil) Heavy-Duty Steel: Robust material thickness provides exceptional structural integrity for demanding framing applications.
- G90 Galvanized Finish: Zinc Galvanized (G90) coating delivers reliable corrosion resistance for long-term performance.
- Made in the United States: Manufactured domestically to Simpson Strong-Tie's exacting quality standards.
- Kit Quantity: Includes 25 connectors and 83 XLSH78B1414 #14 shouldered screws - everything required for installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can this clip be used as both a slide clip and a fixed clip?
- Yes. The SCS62-5/97-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 within a single connector.
- What fasteners are included, and how many come in this kit?
- Each kit includes 25 SCS connectors and 83 XLSH78B1414 #14 shouldered screws. The shouldered washer screws are specifically designed for use with the slide slots and are required to achieve the full 1 in. of vertical deflection the clip is rated for.
- How much vertical deflection does this clip allow in slide-clip mode?
- When installed in slide-clip mode using the included shouldered washer screws, the SCS clip allows a full 1 in. of vertical deflection. Simpson Strong-Tie No-Equal stamps printed alongside the slide slots indicate the correct screw placement - attachment at the first slot is most critical to in-plane capacity, and the clip accommodates two large washer screws at that location.
- What material and finish is this clip made from?
- The SCS62-5/97-KT25 is made from 12-gauge (97 mil) steel and finished with a Zinc Galvanized (G90) coating for corrosion resistance. It measures 2 in. x 6 in. x 5 in. and is designed for use in high-seismic applications where heavy-duty performance and durability are required.
