Product Description
The Simpson Rigid Connector Angle is a general-purpose L-shaped clip angle engineered for a wide range of cold-formed steel framing applications. Built by Simpson Strong-Tie to the highest quality standards and tested to perform, this 12-gauge clip delivers reliable connections across header and sill assemblies, jamb stud reinforcement, stud-blocking, u-channel bridging, bypass curtain-wall framing, and more. Prepunched holes make fastener placement quick and accurate, reducing layout time and labor on the job. This package includes 90 connector angles, providing an efficient supply for large-scale framing projects.
Key Features
- Broad cold-formed steel application range - works with miscellaneous header/sill connections to jamb studs, jamb stud reinforcement at track, u-channel bridging, stud-blocking, and bypass curtain-wall framing, so one clip handles multiple framing scenarios on the same job.
- Prepunched holes for fastener attachment - eliminate layout guesswork and speed installation, cutting labor time across repetitive framing tasks.
- 12-gauge (97 mil) steel construction - provides the structural rigidity needed for demanding cold-formed steel framing connections, so the clip holds its shape and load capacity under real job-site conditions.
- G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers extra corrosion resistance, making these clip angles suitable for applications where moisture exposure is a concern and helping extend the service life of the connection.
- 90-count package - keeps framing crews stocked for high-volume work, reducing the risk of running short mid-project and minimizing supply interruptions.
Why This Product
- Engineered and tested for performance - Simpson Strong-Tie designs these rigid connector angles to meet rigorous quality standards, giving contractors and builders confidence that every clip will perform as expected in structural cold-formed steel applications.
- Versatile enough to simplify procurement - because this single clip angle addresses a wide variety of framing connections - from jamb stud reinforcement to bypass curtain-wall framing - crews can standardize on one part number rather than sourcing multiple connectors for different tasks.
- Fast installation without sacrificing accuracy - the prepunched hole pattern allows fasteners to be driven immediately upon placement, keeping installation pace high while maintaining precise, consistent connections across every framing member.
- Corrosion-resistant finish built into the base material - the G90 galvanized coating is not an add-on treatment but a standard feature of every angle in the pack, so every clip in the box arrives ready for use in environments where bare steel would be vulnerable to degradation.
