The Simpson RCA2211/54 Rigid Connector Angle is a general-purpose L-shaped clip angle from Simpson engineered for a wide range of cold-formed steel construction applications. Built to make structural connections stronger and safer, these rigid connector angles are prepunched for fast, accurate fastener attachment - cutting down on labor time across header and sill connections, jamb stud reinforcement, u-channel bridging, stud-blocking, bypass curtain-wall framing, and other steel framing tasks. This package includes 45 connector angles, providing the quantity needed for larger-scale projects requiring multiple connection points.

Key Features

• Prepunched holes for fastener attachment - speeds up installation by eliminating field drilling and helping ensure accurate, consistent fastener placement on every connection.
• 16-gauge (54 mil) steel construction - delivers the structural rigidity and load-carrying capability required for demanding cold-formed steel framing applications.
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - provides extra corrosion resistance, helping the connector angles hold up in tough job-site conditions over the long term.
• Versatile L-shaped clip design - supports a broad range of applications including header and sill connections to jamb studs, jamb stud reinforcement at track, stud-blocking, u-channel bridging, and bypass curtain-wall framing.
• Compatible with #10 screws - works with a common fastener type, keeping installation straightforward; screws must be installed with a minimum of 3 exposed threads for a secure connection.

Why This Product

• Engineered and tested for reliable performance - Simpson designs and tests its connectors to meet high quality standards, so contractors and builders can trust these clip angles to perform in structural cold-formed steel applications rather than relying on field-fabricated alternatives.
• Broad application versatility in one connector - a single clip angle model covers miscellaneous header and sill connections, jamb stud reinforcement, u-channel bridging, stud-blocking, and bypass curtain-wall framing, reducing the need to source multiple connector types for a job.
• Built-in corrosion protection from the start - the G90 galvanized finish means these clip angles arrive ready for use in environments where moisture and corrosion are a concern, without requiring additional field treatment.
• Multi-pack quantity supports project efficiency - with 45 connector angles per package, crews have enough on hand to work through multiple connection points without repeated reordering interrupting workflow.
