Product Description
The Simpson Rigid Connector Angle RCA227/68-R55 is a general-purpose L-shaped clip angle engineered for a wide range of cold-formed steel construction applications. Built from 14-gauge (68 mil) steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, these prepunched connector angles are designed to simplify fastener attachment and save time and labor on the job. Whether you are reinforcing jamb studs, connecting headers and sills, or framing bypass curtain walls, Simpson delivers connectors that are engineered and tested to the highest quality standards - making structural connections stronger, safer, and faster to complete.
Key Features
- Versatile cold-formed steel applications - Compatible with miscellaneous header/sill connections to jamb studs, jamb stud reinforcement at track, u-channel bridging, stud-blocking, bypass curtain-wall framing, and more, so one clip angle handles multiple framing scenarios on the same job.
- Prepunched hole pattern - Holes are factory-punched for quick and accurate fastener placement, reducing layout time and minimizing the chance of misaligned connections in the field.
- 14-gauge (68 mil) steel construction - Heavy-gauge material provides the structural rigidity required for demanding cold-formed steel framing applications without adding unnecessary bulk.
- G90 zinc galvanized finish - The G90 galvanized coating delivers extra corrosion resistance, helping the connector maintain its integrity in tough construction environments over the long term.
- Pack of 55 connector angles - Supplied in a job-friendly quantity so crews can stock adequate hardware for ongoing framing work without repeated reordering.
Why This Product
- Engineered and tested for performance - Simpson designs and tests its connectors to meet rigorous quality standards, giving builders and contractors confidence that each clip angle will perform as intended in structural applications.
- One clip, many uses - The RCA227/68-R55 is approved for a broad range of cold-formed steel connections - from header and sill attachments to u-channel bridging and stud-blocking - reducing the number of different hardware items needed on site.
- Installation-ready right out of the box - Prepunched holes and compatibility with standard #10 screws mean no additional drilling or custom fabrication, keeping installation straightforward and labor costs in check.
- Built-in corrosion protection - The G90 galvanized coating provides a level of corrosion resistance specifically suited for construction environments where exposed steel can degrade, helping protect the structural connection over time.
