Product Description
The Simpson FC62-5/118-R25 Fixed-Clip Bypass Framing Connector is engineered by Simpson as the optimal solution for fixed-clip bypass framing in high-seismic zones. Built from heavy-duty 10-gauge (118-mil) G90 zinc-galvanized steel, this connector delivers exceptional resistance to in-plane seismic load and is designed specifically for use with 6-in. studs. FC clips can be welded directly to the structure - a common practice in high-seismic applications - or secured with concrete screws or powder-actuated fasteners using the prepunched anchorage holes, giving engineers and contractors flexible installation options without sacrificing structural performance. Prepunched screw holes for framing attachment eliminate the need for predrilling and ensure fastener placement consistently aligns with designer specifications.
Key Features
- Designed for 6-in. studs with a maximum standoff distance of 1 1/2 in. - purpose-built geometry ensures a precise, code-consistent fit without field modification or guesswork.
- Embossments in the bend line increase strength and stiffness in the F1 and F2 load directions - strategically centered so that 1 1/2 in. long welds can be applied at the top and bottom of the clip, supporting both welded and mechanical anchorage installations.
- Prepunched large-diameter anchor holes accommodate 1/4-in. diameter concrete screws such as the Simpson Strong-Tie Titen HD screw anchor - no field drilling required, keeping installations fast and consistent with designer specifications.
- Prepunched small-diameter anchor holes accommodate powder-actuated fasteners like the 0.157-in. diameter Simpson Strong-Tie PDPAT or #12 self-drilling Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive XL Large-Head Metal screw - expands anchorage versatility to suit a range of structural and jobsite conditions.
- Prepunched screw holes for framing attachment - eliminates predrilling and ensures fastener placement matches designer specifications, reducing installation errors and saving labor time.
- Made in the United States from 10-gauge (118-mil) steel - heavy-duty construction provides the structural reliability demanded by seismic design requirements.
- G90 zinc-galvanized finish - provides an extra layer of corrosion resistance, extending service life in demanding construction environments.
Why This Product
- Built specifically for high-seismic structural framing - the FC series is the optimal solution for fixed-clip bypass framing in seismic zones, with heavy-duty 10-gauge steel construction engineered to resist in-plane seismic load where performance cannot be compromised.
- Unmatched anchorage flexibility on the jobsite - the clip supports welded attachment, concrete screws, and powder-actuated fasteners through a single prepunched design, allowing the installation method to match the structural engineer's requirements without sourcing additional hardware or modifying the connector.
- Prepunched holes eliminate field drilling and alignment errors - both the anchor holes and framing screw holes arrive ready to use, keeping installations accurate to designer specifications and cutting down on labor time across every unit installed.
- G90 galvanized steel adds long-term durability - the corrosion-resistant finish protects the connector through construction and throughout the life of the structure, making it suitable for the demanding conditions common in seismic construction projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What stud size is the FC62-5/118-R25 designed to work with?
- This FC connector is intended to be used with 6-inch studs. The maximum standoff distance for 6-inch studs is 1-1/2 inches.
- What fastener options are available for anchoring this clip to the structure?
- The FC62-5/118-R25 offers multiple anchorage options. The prepunched large-diameter anchor holes accommodate 1/4-inch diameter concrete screws such as the Simpson Strong-Tie Titen HD screw anchor. The prepunched small-diameter anchor holes accommodate powder-actuated fasteners like the 0.157-inch diameter Simpson Strong-Tie PDPAT, or #12 self-drilling Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive XL Large-Head Metal screws. In high-seismic zones, the clip can also be welded directly to the structure - the embossments are positioned towards the center of the clip so that 1-1/2-inch long welds can be applied at the top and bottom.
- What material and finish are used on these connectors?
- The FC62-5/118-R25 is made from heavy-duty 10-gauge (118-mil) steel and features a G90 zinc galvanized finish for extra corrosion resistance.
- How many connectors are included in this package, and what screws are used for framing attachment?
- This package includes 25 connectors. For attaching the clip to the framing, #10 self-drilling screws are used per the designer's specifications. The clip features prepunched screw holes for framing attachment, eliminating the need for predrilling and ensuring fastener placement aligns with designer specifications.
