Product Description
The Simpson Rigid Connector Angle is a heavy-duty, L-shaped clip angle built for a wide range of cold-formed steel framing applications. Engineered and tested by Simpson Strong-Tie to meet rigorous quality standards, this general-purpose connector simplifies structural connections at header and sill joints, jamb studs, u-channel bridging points, stud-blocking locations, bypass curtain-wall framing, and more. Prepunched holes make fastener placement quick and accurate, reducing labor time on the job without sacrificing connection integrity. This package includes 55 connector angles, each measuring 2 in. x 2 in. x 5 in., making it a practical supply for cold-formed steel construction projects of varying scale.
Key Features
- Versatile cold-formed steel applications - 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 angle covers many connection types on a single job site
- Prepunched holes for fastener attachment - speeds up installation and ensures accurate, consistent screw placement, reducing labor time and the chance of positioning errors
- 12-gauge (97 mil) steel construction - delivers the rigidity and load-bearing capability required for structural cold-formed steel connections
- G90 zinc galvanized finish - provides enhanced corrosion resistance, helping the connector maintain its integrity in demanding construction environments
- Installs with #10 screws (minimum 3 exposed threads required) - a straightforward fastener requirement that keeps installation simple and consistent across your crew
Why This Product
- One clip, many connections - this L-shaped angle handles a broad range of cold-formed steel framing tasks, from jamb stud reinforcement to bypass curtain-wall framing, reducing the need to source multiple specialty connectors for a single project
- Built for faster installs - prepunched holes eliminate layout guesswork and speed up fastener attachment, helping crews work more efficiently without compromising structural accuracy
- Engineered and tested quality - Simpson Strong-Tie connectors are manufactured to high quality standards and engineered to perform, giving contractors and builders confidence in the connections they make
- Corrosion-resistant for long-term performance - the G90 galvanized coating adds a meaningful layer of protection against corrosion, supporting the durability of structural connections over the life of the building
