Product Description
The Simpson Rigid Connector Angle (RCA227/97) is a general-purpose L-shaped clip angle engineered by Simpson Strong-Tie for a wide range of cold-formed steel framing applications. Built to make construction projects easier, stronger, and safer, this 12-gauge steel connector is manufactured to the highest quality standards and tested to perform. Prepunched holes allow for quick and accurate fastener attachment, reducing time and labor on the job - making it a reliable choice for professionals working on everything from header and sill connections to bypass curtain-wall framing.
Key Features
- General-purpose L-shaped clip angle design - supports a broad range of cold-formed steel applications, including header/sill connections to jamb studs, jamb stud reinforcement at track, u-channel bridging, stud-blocking, and bypass curtain-wall framing, reducing the need for multiple connector types on a single job
- Prepunched holes for fastener attachment - allows for quick and accurate installation, saving time and labor without sacrificing connection quality
- Made from 12-gauge (97 mil) steel - provides the structural thickness and rigidity needed for demanding cold-formed steel framing conditions
- G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers extra corrosion resistance, helping these clip angles hold up in tough job-site environments over the long term
- Installs with #10 screws (minimum 3 exposed threads required) - a clearly defined fastener specification takes the guesswork out of installation and helps ensure a proper, code-conscious connection every time
Why This Product
- Versatility across multiple framing scenarios - a single connector angle handles miscellaneous header/sill connections, jamb stud reinforcement, stud-blocking, u-channel bridging, and curtain-wall framing, giving crews a go-to clip angle that works across many common cold-formed steel tasks
- Engineered and tested for performance - Simpson Strong-Tie designs and tests these connectors to meet high quality standards, giving contractors confidence that each piece will perform consistently in structural applications
- Built-in corrosion protection - the G90 galvanized finish adds a meaningful layer of durability, making these rigid connector angles a practical choice for projects where long-term reliability matters
- Faster installation with no layout guesswork - prepunched holes and a straightforward fastener requirement (#10 screws with minimum 3 exposed threads) streamline the workflow and help keep framing crews moving efficiently
