The Simpson LSSC 4-1/4 in. 16-Gauge Galvanized Steel-Stud Clip is a versatile utility clip engineered for stud-to-stud and stud-to-structure applications in cold-formed steel construction. Designed for easy installation on the open side of studs or joists, this clip accommodates flanges up to 3 in. long and return lips up to 3/4 in., while a wide pattern of strategic fastener locations supports a variety of traditional and custom framing designs. The pack includes 50 clips, providing enough hardware to keep a project moving without repeated reordering.

Key Features

• Prepunched fastener holes - eliminate the need for predrilling, reducing labor time and overall installation cost on the jobsite.
• Intuitive fastener hole positions - guide accurate clip placement in accordance with design intent, supporting a wide range of application requirements and giving installers meaningful layout flexibility.
• Angle lengths accommodate hard-side or soft-side attachment - for studs and joists with return lips up to 3/4 in., making the clip adaptable across multiple framing configurations.
• 4 in. leg length enables soft-side connections - for studs and joists with flanges up to 3 in., expanding the range of cold-formed steel assemblies this single clip can serve.
• Also suitable for u-channel bridging - adding a secondary use case that increases the clip's overall value on mixed framing projects.
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - provides extra corrosion resistance, extending the service life of connections in demanding cold-formed steel construction environments.
• Made from 16-gauge (54 mil) steel - delivers the structural integrity required for reliable stud and joist connections without adding unnecessary bulk.
• Installs with #10 screws - a common fastener size that simplifies procurement and keeps installation straightforward.

Why This Product

• One clip, multiple connection types - the LSSC design handles stud-to-stud connections, stud-to-structure applications, and u-channel bridging, reducing the number of different connectors a crew needs to stock and manage on a cold-formed steel project.
• Engineered for faster installation - prepunched holes and intuitive fastener positions work together to eliminate predrilling and minimize guesswork, helping installers work accurately and efficiently without sacrificing connection quality.
• Built-in dimensional flexibility - with support for flanges up to 3 in. and return lips up to 3/4 in., plus compatibility with both hard-side and soft-side attachment, these clips fit a broad range of stud and joist profiles rather than locking a project into a single framing scenario.
• Durable finish backed by a trusted brand - Simpson's G90 galvanized coating adds meaningful corrosion resistance, and the clips are made in the United States from 16-gauge steel, offering a combination of material quality and finish protection suited to long-term performance in structural framing assemblies.
