Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie MFCB43.5-R25 is a 3-1/2 in. Bypass Framing Fixed-Clip Connector engineered for high-performance cold-formed steel (CFS) construction. Built from heavy-duty 14-gauge (68 mil) steel and finished with a G90 zinc galvanized coating for superior corrosion resistance, this connector delivers exceptional structural integrity across tension, compression, shear, and in-plane load applications. Backed by more than 50 years of Simpson Strong-Tie experience in product design, testing, and manufacturing, the MFCB connector is a trusted solution for CFS curtain wall framing and a variety of other structural applications. This listing includes a convenient pack of 25 connectors.
Strategically placed stiffeners, embossments, and anchor holes work together to maximize connector performance, while the flexibility to specify different screw and anchorage patterns allows designers to conform to desired load levels with confidence.
