Product Description
The Simpson RCA2211/97 Rigid Connector Angle is a general-purpose L-shaped clip angle from Simpson engineered for a wide range of cold-formed steel framing applications. Built from 12-gauge (97 mil) steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this rigid connector angle is designed to deliver consistent, reliable connections across structural cold-formed steel assemblies. Prepunched holes streamline fastener placement, reducing layout time and keeping installation accurate from the first clip to the last.
Key Features
- Prepunched holes for fastener attachment - eliminates field drilling and speeds up installation, so crews can move through framing connections faster and with greater accuracy
- 12-gauge (97 mil) cold-formed steel construction - provides the structural rigidity needed for load-bearing clip angle applications in CFS framing systems
- G90 zinc galvanized coating - adds a meaningful layer of corrosion resistance, making these clip angles better suited for job sites and environments where moisture exposure is a concern
- Versatile L-clip design - suitable for header and sill connections to jamb studs, jamb stud reinforcement at track, u-channel bridging, stud-blocking, bypass curtain-wall framing, and other general cold-formed steel construction connections
- Pack of 30 connector angles - supplies enough clips to address multiple connection points across a framing assembly without repeated reordering mid-project
Why This Product
- Engineered and tested for cold-formed steel construction - Simpson designs its connectors to perform across the specific demands of CFS framing, giving contractors and builders confidence that each clip angle meets consistent quality standards rather than relying on generic hardware
- One clip, many applications - because the RCA2211/97 covers header-to-jamb connections, track reinforcement, bridging, stud-blocking, and curtain-wall framing, purchasing a single product handles a broad range of connection needs on the same job site
- Installation is straightforward by design - prepunched holes and compatibility with standard #10 screws mean no specialty tools or additional fabrication steps, reducing labor time and keeping the installation process consistent across a crew
- Galvanized protection built in from the factory - the G90 coating is applied at the manufacturing stage, so the corrosion resistance is already part of the clip when it arrives on site - no field finishing required
