The Simpson MSUBH3.25-R100 is a medium-duty wall stud bridging connector engineered specifically for cold-formed steel framing. Built by Simpson Strong-Tie from 14-gauge (68 mil) steel with a G90 zinc-galvanized finish, this clip delivers the corrosion resistance and structural reliability that CFS professionals depend on across curtain-wall construction, U-channel bridging, and wall bracing applications. Its compact profile is purpose-built to allow standard 1-5/8 in. studs to be sistered directly against adjacent studs, eliminating clearance conflicts that slow down framing crews - and it arrives in a contractor-friendly 100-count package ready for high-volume jobsite use.

Key Features

• Single-installer design - one person can complete installation without assistance, reducing crew requirements and accelerating project timelines.
• Many applications require only one screw - minimizes fastener usage per connection, directly cutting labor costs and boosting productivity on CFS framing jobs.
• Compact profile accommodates sistered 1-5/8 in. studs - allows standard studs to be installed directly against adjacent studs without clearance conflicts, keeping framing layouts tight and on schedule.
• Broad compatibility across single and built-up members - accommodates single members from 54 mil (16 ga.) to 97 mil (12 ga.) and back-to-back built-up members from 33 mil (20 ga.) to 54 mil (16 ga.), giving designers and contractors flexible solutions across a wide range of CFS assemblies.
• Stud-web strength and stiffness tested into tabulated design values - design values reflect real-world performance, giving engineers and inspectors confidence in code-compliant CFS connections.
• G90 zinc-galvanized finish - provides a durable corrosion-resistant coating suited for cold-formed steel framing environments where long-term connector integrity matters.
• Made in the United States from 14-gauge (68 mil) steel - consistent material quality supports predictable performance across every connector in the package.

Why This Product

• Built for fast, low-labor CFS framing - the single-installer setup and one-screw installation capability mean bridging runs can be completed faster and with fewer hands, making this connector a practical choice for production CFS framing where labor efficiency directly affects project cost.
• Versatile enough to handle a wide range of CFS assemblies - with support for both single and back-to-back built-up members across multiple gauges, the MSUBH3.25-R100 reduces the need to stock multiple connector sizes for different framing conditions on the same job.
• Design values you can trust on the plans - testing that incorporates stud-web strength and stiffness gives structural engineers reliable numbers to work with, simplifying specification and inspection on curtain-wall, wall bracing, and other cold-formed steel applications.
• A proven Simpson Strong-Tie connector in a job-ready quantity - sourced from a manufacturer with a long track record in cold-formed steel connection solutions, the 100-count pack is sized for contractors who need enough connectors on hand to keep bridging work moving without interruption.
