Product Description
The Simpson FC62-5/97-R25 Fixed-Clip Bypass Framing Connector is engineered by Simpson for high-seismic construction applications where precision, strength, and installation flexibility are critical. Designed specifically for use with 6-in. studs in bypass framing assemblies, this 12-gauge G90 galvanized clip supports multiple anchorage methods - welding, concrete screws, or powder-actuated fasteners - giving structural designers the versatility to specify the right attachment for the job. Prepunched holes for both framing and anchorage fasteners mean faster, more consistent installation without predrilling or guesswork about fastener placement.
Key Features
- Designed for 6-in. studs with a maximum standoff distance of 1 1/2 in. - ensures proper fit and alignment in bypass framing assemblies, eliminating sizing uncertainty on the jobsite.
- Embossments in the bend line increase strength and stiffness in the F1 and F2 load directions - delivers enhanced resistance to in-plane seismic forces while being strategically positioned to allow 1 1/2 in. long welds at the top and bottom of the clip.
- Prepunched large-diameter anchor holes accommodate 1/4-in. diameter concrete screws such as the Simpson Strong-Tie Titen HD screw anchor - provides a reliable, ready-to-use anchorage option without field drilling or guesswork.
- Prepunched small-diameter anchor holes accommodate powder-actuated fasteners like the 0.157-in. diameter Simpson Strong-Tie PDPAT or a #12 self-drilling Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive XL Large-Head Metal screw - expands attachment flexibility to suit different structural conditions and designer preferences.
- Made from 12-gauge (97-mil) steel - heavy-duty construction provides exceptional resistance to in-plane seismic load in demanding structural environments.
- G90 zinc galvanized finish - adds a durable corrosion-resistant coating suited for exposed or moisture-prone framing applications.
- Prepunched screw holes for framing attachment - eliminates the need for predrilling and ensures fastener placement matches designer specifications, reducing installation errors and saving time.
Why This Product
- Built for high-seismic performance - the heavy-duty 12-gauge steel construction and embossed bend line are specifically engineered to resist in-plane seismic loads, making this clip a reliable choice for seismic zone framing projects where structural integrity is non-negotiable.
- Multiple anchorage methods in a single clip - the FC62-5/97-R25 supports welding, concrete screw anchorage, and powder-actuated fastener attachment, giving designers and installers the flexibility to adapt to different structural substrates and project specifications without sourcing a different product.
- Prepunched holes speed up installation and protect design intent - factory-punched anchor and framing holes mean no predrilling is required and fastener placement is consistent with designer specifications, reducing labor time and minimizing the risk of field errors.
- Compatible with widely used Simpson Strong-Tie fastener systems - designed to work with established Simpson Strong-Tie anchors and screws, making it straightforward to source complementary fasteners and maintain a consistent, tested system across the framing assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What stud size is the FC62-5/97-R25 designed to work with?
- This clip is intended to be used with 6-in. studs. The maximum standoff distance for 6-in. studs is 1-1/2 in.
- What fastener options are available for anchoring the clip to the structure?
- The FC62-5/97-R25 offers multiple anchorage options. The prepunched large-diameter anchor holes accommodate 1/4-in. 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-in. diameter Simpson Strong-Tie PDPAT or a #12 self-drilling Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive XL Large-Head Metal screw. The clip can also be welded directly to the structure, which is common practice in high-seismic zones.
- What material and finish is used on this clip?
- The FC62-5/97-R25 is made from 12-gauge (97-mil) steel and features a G90 zinc galvanized finish for extra corrosion resistance.
- How many clips are included in this package, and what screws are used to attach the clip to the framing?
- This package includes 25 clips. For attachment to the framing, #10 self-drilling screws are used per the designer's specifications. The clip features prepunched screw holes, eliminating the need for predrilling or concern about fastener placement not matching designer specifications.
