The Simpson RCA333/54 Rigid Connector Angle is a general-purpose L-shaped clip angle from Simpson engineered for a wide range of cold-formed steel framing applications. Built from 16-gauge galvanized steel and featuring prepunched holes for fast, accurate fastener placement, these clip angles are designed to simplify installation without sacrificing structural integrity - making them a dependable choice for contractors working on header and sill connections, jamb stud reinforcement, curtain-wall framing, and more.

Key Features

• Prepunched holes for fastener attachment - eliminates layout guesswork and speeds up installation, reducing labor time on the job
• 16-gauge (54 mil) steel construction - delivers a robust, durable connection suited to demanding cold-formed steel framing conditions
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - provides extra corrosion resistance for long-lasting performance across a variety of construction environments
• Versatile L-shaped clip angle design - compatible with header/sill connections to jamb studs, jamb stud reinforcement at track, u-channel bridging, stud-blocking, bypass curtain-wall framing, and other general cold-formed steel applications
• Installs with #10 screws - a common fastener type keeps procurement simple, and the minimum 3 exposed thread requirement ensures a secure, code-conscious connection

Why This Product

• Built for multi-use CFS framing - a single clip angle handles an exceptionally broad range of cold-formed steel connections, from jamb stud reinforcement and u-channel bridging to bypass curtain-wall framing, reducing the need to stock multiple connector types on the job site
• Engineered and tested by Simpson - Simpson connectors are manufactured to high quality standards and engineered to perform, giving buyers confidence that these clip angles meet the structural demands of professional construction applications
• Designed to save time and labor - the prepunched hole pattern allows for quick and accurate fastener placement straight out of the box, keeping installation efficient on projects where multiple clip angle connections are required
• G90 galvanized protection on heavy-gauge steel - the combination of 16-gauge thickness and a zinc galvanized G90 finish means these rigid connector angles are built to hold up over time, even in environments where corrosion is a concern
