The Simpson RCA335/54 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 make structural connections stronger, safer, and faster to complete, this clip angle handles everything from header and sill connections to u-channel bridging and bypass curtain-wall framing - delivering reliable performance across demanding jobsite conditions.

Key Features

• Versatile application range - suitable for header and sill connections to jamb studs, jamb stud reinforcement at track, u-channel bridging, stud-blocking, bypass curtain-wall framing, and more general cold-formed steel construction needs, reducing the number of different connectors you need on the job
• Prepunched holes for fastener attachment - allows for quick and accurate installation, saving time and labor without the need for field drilling or layout guesswork
• Made from 16-gauge (54 mil) steel - provides a robust, durable clip angle capable of standing up to the structural demands of cold-formed steel framing
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers extra corrosion resistance to help extend the service life of the connector across a variety of construction environments

Why This Product

• Engineered and tested by Simpson - these connector angles are manufactured to high quality standards and designed to perform, giving contractors and builders confidence in every connection they make
• One clip, many applications - the RCA335/54 handles a broad set of cold-formed steel framing tasks, from stud-blocking and bridging to curtain-wall framing, making it a practical go-to clip for light-gauge steel projects
• Installation-ready right out of the box - prepunched holes eliminate extra prep work on the job, so crews can move faster and maintain accuracy without additional tooling
• Bulk quantity packaging - the 60-piece pack is sized for larger cold-formed steel projects, helping reduce downtime from running short on connectors mid-job
