Product Description
The Simpson Rigid Connector Angle RCA229/54 is a general-purpose L-shaped clip angle engineered for a wide range of cold-formed steel framing applications. Built from 16-gauge (54 mil) G90 galvanized steel and sized at 2 in. x 2 in. x 9 in., this versatile clip angle is designed to make structural connections stronger, safer, and easier to build. Prepunched holes allow for quick and accurate fastener placement, reducing time and labor on the job. Simpson connectors are engineered and tested to perform, and manufactured to the highest quality standards - making them a trusted choice for cold-formed steel framing professionals.
Key Features
- Wide application range - compatible with miscellaneous header and 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 covers many common CFS framing tasks
- Prepunched holes for fastener attachment - allows quick, accurate screw placement without field drilling, saving time and reducing labor costs on the job site
- 16-gauge (54 mil) steel construction - delivers the structural integrity and rigidity needed for demanding cold-formed steel framing connections
- G90 galvanized coating - provides an extra layer of corrosion resistance, helping the connector hold up in environments where moisture exposure is a concern
- Installs with #10 screws - a common, readily available fastener type keeps installation straightforward; screws must be installed with a minimum of 3 exposed threads for a code-consistent connection
Why This Product
- Built for real cold-formed steel work - engineered specifically for CFS construction applications, this clip angle handles the connections professionals actually encounter on the job, from header and sill attachments to curtain-wall framing scenarios
- Faster installation, less rework - prepunched holes eliminate the guesswork of field drilling and keep fastener placement consistent from one connection to the next, helping crews move faster with fewer errors
- Corrosion-resistant for long-term performance - the G90 galvanized finish goes beyond basic protection, making this clip angle a dependable choice in applications where bare steel would be vulnerable to rust and early degradation
- Backed by Simpson engineering and quality standards - Simpson connectors are engineered, tested, and manufactured to rigorous quality standards, giving contractors and inspectors confidence that the hardware will perform as intended
