Frequently Asked Questions

How much vertical movement does the SCB43.5 slide-clip connector allow?

The SCB43.5 provides a full 1 in. of both upward and downward movement, accommodating thermal and structural movement in bypass framing applications.

Why are shouldered screws used with the SCB connector instead of standard screws?

The precision-manufactured shouldered screws included with the SCB connector are specifically designed to prevent overdriving and to ensure the clip functions properly. Simpson Strong-Tie No-Equal stamps on the connector mark the center of the slots to help ensure correct shouldered-screw placement.

Can the SCB43.5 replace a two-part connector assembly?

Yes. For designs that have typically required two parts to accommodate large stand-offs, the SCB can take their place, thereby reducing field labor and material costs.

What anchorage methods are compatible with the SCB43.5 connector?

Allowable anchorage loads have been established for powder-actuated pins, screws, welds, and Simpson Strong-Tie Titen Turbo concrete screws, eliminating the need to separately design connector anchorage.
