Product Description
The Simpson Roof Boundary Clip with Teeth is a structural connector engineered to aid installation and transfer shear loads between the roof diaphragm and wall. Designed for flexibility across a wide range of roof pitches and wall types, this clip features integral prongs (teeth) on one side that allow pre-attachment to blocking at the truss plant before the assembly ever reaches the job site - helping crews work faster and more accurately in the field.
Key Features
- Shear load transfer between roof diaphragm and wall - delivers the structural performance needed to meet diaphragm-to-wall connection requirements in both residential and commercial framing applications.
- Integral prongs (teeth) on one side for pre-attachment to blocking - allows the clip to be pressed onto blocking at the truss plant ahead of field installation, reducing on-site labor and keeping the construction process on schedule.
- Locator tabs for accurate positioning - takes the guesswork out of placement so crews can install each clip consistently and correctly without additional measuring or layout steps.
- Compatible with both wood and masonry walls - gives builders the flexibility to use a single connector type across different wall assemblies rather than sourcing multiple products.
- Field-bendable to accommodate roof pitches from 0/12 to 12/12 - covers the full range from flat roofs to steep slopes, and can be adjusted on site to match the specific angle required for a given project.
- Made in the United States from 20-gauge galvanized steel - the galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance, helping the connector maintain integrity in the conditions typical of roof-to-wall assemblies.
Why This Product
- Speeds up the construction workflow - because the teeth allow pre-attachment to blocking at the truss plant, a significant portion of the installation work is completed before framing crews arrive on site, reducing time-consuming field steps.
- One connector, multiple applications - compatibility with wood walls, masonry walls, and roof pitches spanning flat to 12/12 steep means this clip can handle a wide variety of project types without requiring substitutions or special alternatives.
- Engineered for accurate, repeatable installation - locator tabs and a press-on attachment method (rather than hammering) help ensure every clip seats correctly, reducing the risk of installation errors that could compromise structural performance.
- A purpose-built upgrade over the standard roof boundary clip - the addition of integral prongs distinguishes this connector from the non-toothed version, making it the right choice specifically when pre-attachment to blocking at the truss plant is part of the construction process.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the RBC and the RBCP?
The RBCP is the version of the RBC roof boundary clip that includes prongs (teeth) on one side, specifically designed for pre-attachment of the part to a block at the truss plant before it arrives on the job site. The standard RBC does not include these prongs.
What fasteners should be used to install the RBCP?
The RBCP should be installed with 10d x 1-1/2 in. nails or Titen screws, depending on the type of connection being made.
Can the RBCP be field bent to match a specific roof pitch?
Yes. The RBCP can be field bent to the desired angle to accommodate roof pitches from 0/12 to 12/12. However, this bending should only be performed one time - it is not designed to be bent back and forth repeatedly.
Should the RBCP be hammered onto the blocking during installation?
No. The RBCP should be pressed onto the blocking rather than hammered. Pressing ensures the prongs seat correctly without damaging the clip or the blocking material.
