Simpson RCA333/97 Rigid Connector Angle is a general-purpose L-shaped clip angle from Simpson engineered for a wide range of cold-formed steel construction applications. Built to the quality standards Simpson is known for, this rigid connector angle delivers reliable structural performance across demanding framing tasks - from header and sill connections to bypass curtain-wall framing - while prepunched holes make installation fast, accurate, and labor-efficient on the job site.

Key Features

• Prepunched holes for fastener attachment - speeds up installation and ensures accurate, consistent screw placement, reducing labor time on every connection.
• Versatile approved applications - handles header/sill connections to jamb studs, jamb stud reinforcement at track, u-channel bridging, stud-blocking, bypass curtain-wall framing, and more, making this a single solution for multiple cold-formed steel framing needs.
• 12-gauge (97 mil) steel construction - provides robust structural integrity suited to the load demands of professional cold-formed steel framing work.
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers enhanced corrosion resistance, helping the connector hold up in demanding construction environments over the long term.
• Bulk pack of 60 connector angles - provides a convenient job-site quantity that keeps larger framing projects moving without repeated reordering.

Why This Product

• Engineered and tested for structural confidence - Simpson designs and tests its connectors to perform, so contractors and builders can rely on consistent, code-supportable performance across every cold-formed steel connection.
• True multi-application clip angle - one connector handles jamb stud reinforcement, u-channel bridging, stud-blocking, curtain-wall framing, and more, reducing the number of SKUs needed on the job and simplifying procurement.
• Installation-ready out of the box - prepunched hole patterns mean no field drilling or layout guesswork, letting crews set and fasten each angle quickly and move on, directly cutting labor costs per connection.
• Made in the United States to tight manufacturing standards - consistent dimensional quality across all 60 pieces in the pack means predictable fit and performance from the first angle to the last.
