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 and structural connection applications. Built by Simpson to meet demanding construction standards, this connector is engineered and tested to perform, delivering the strength and reliability that framing crews depend on for header and sill connections, jamb stud reinforcement, u-channel bridging, stud-blocking, bypass curtain-wall framing, and more. Prepunched holes make fastener attachment quick and accurate, reducing layout time and keeping projects moving on schedule.
Key Features
- Prepunched holes for fastener attachment - eliminates the need to drill on site, speeding up installation and ensuring consistent, accurate fastener placement across every connection.
- 14-gauge (68 mil) steel construction - delivers the structural rigidity required for demanding cold-formed steel framing applications, providing a dependable connection at every attachment point.
- G90 zinc galvanized finish - provides enhanced corrosion resistance, making these clip angles suitable for applications where moisture exposure is a concern.
- Versatile cold-formed steel applications - compatible with header/sill connections to jamb studs, jamb stud reinforcement at track, u-channel bridging, stud-blocking, bypass curtain-wall framing, and additional general-purpose structural connections, reducing the number of different connectors needed on a job.
- L-shaped clip angle profile - the compact 2 in. x 2 in. x 5 in. form fits tightly into standard framing assemblies without adding bulk, keeping walls plumb and connections clean.
- Installs with #10 screws - compatible with standard fasteners (requiring a minimum of 3 exposed threads), so crews can work with familiar hardware and maintain consistent installation practices.
Why This Product
- Engineered and tested for performance - Simpson designs and tests these rigid connector angles to meet high quality standards, giving contractors confidence that each clip will perform as expected in structural cold-formed steel framing applications.
- A single connector for multiple framing tasks - the versatility of this clip angle across header/sill connections, jamb stud reinforcement, bridging, stud-blocking, and curtain-wall framing means fewer SKUs to source and manage for a given project.
- Built-in corrosion resistance from the factory - the G90 galvanized coating is applied during manufacturing, not added later, so protection is uniform and consistent without any additional field treatment required.
- Time-saving design that reduces labor - prepunched holes and a straightforward L-shaped profile let installers work faster and with greater accuracy, cutting down on layout and drilling time across large quantities of connections.
