The Simpson Rigid Connector Angle RCA223/54 is a general-purpose L-shaped clip angle engineered by Simpson Strong-Tie for a wide range of cold-formed steel construction applications. Designed to make projects easier to build while making them stronger and safer, this connector is built to Simpson Strong-Tie's highest quality standards and tested to perform. Whether you are tackling header and sill connections to jamb studs, jamb stud reinforcement at track, u-channel bridging, stud-blocking, bypass curtain-wall framing, or other general cold-formed steel connections, this clip angle delivers reliable, consistent performance across job types. Prepunched holes allow for quick and accurate fastener attachment, reducing installation time and labor on the job. This pack contains 150 connector angles, keeping your crew supplied through high-volume framing work.

Key Features

• Versatile application range - compatible with header/sill connections to jamb studs, jamb stud reinforcement at track, u-channel bridging, stud-blocking, bypass curtain-wall framing, and more, so one connector type covers many cold-formed steel connection needs on a single project.
• Prepunched holes for fastener attachment - holes are factory-located for quick and accurate installation, reducing layout time and helping crews work faster with fewer errors.
• 16-gauge (54 mil) steel construction - provides the structural strength and rigidity required for demanding cold-formed steel framing applications, delivering a durable connection you can count on.
• Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - adds a layer of corrosion resistance that helps extend the service life of each connection, making these clips well-suited for environments where moisture exposure is a concern.
• 150-count packaging - supplies enough connector angles to support larger-scale framing projects, reducing the need for frequent reorders and keeping work moving without interruption.

Why This Product

• Engineered and tested by Simpson Strong-Tie - these clip angles are manufactured to Simpson Strong-Tie's highest quality standards and engineered to perform, giving contractors confidence in the structural integrity of every connection made.
• Time-saving installation design - the prepunched hole pattern means fasteners go in quickly and accurately, cutting down on layout work and helping crews stay productive across a full shift of cold-formed steel framing.
• Built-in corrosion protection - the G90 galvanized coating provides extra corrosion resistance beyond bare steel, supporting longer service life in conditions where uncoated connectors would degrade more quickly.
• One connector, many applications - from bypass curtain-wall framing to stud-blocking and u-channel bridging, the broad approval list means fewer SKUs to manage on the job site while still meeting the connection requirements for a wide variety of cold-formed steel assemblies.
