Product Description
The Simpson RCA335/68-R50 Rigid Connector Angle 3x3x5 in 14-Ga G90 Galvanized Steel 50-Pack is a general-purpose L-shaped clip angle from Simpson engineered for a wide range of cold-formed steel framing tasks. Designed to handle demanding structural connections - from header and sill attachments to bypass curtain-wall framing and u-channel bridging - these rigid connector angles combine heavy-gauge construction with a corrosion-resistant finish to deliver reliable performance across commercial and residential steel framing applications. Prepunched holes make fastener placement fast and accurate, reducing layout time and keeping projects on schedule.
Key Features
- Versatile cold-formed steel clip angle - suitable for miscellaneous header/sill connections to jamb studs, jamb stud reinforcement at track, u-channel bridging, stud-blocking, bypass curtain-wall framing, and more, so one connector handles multiple framing needs across a project.
- Prepunched holes for fastener attachment - eliminates field drilling and guesswork, speeding up installation and helping ensure accurate, consistent fastener placement every time.
- Made from 14-gauge (68 mil) steel - provides the structural rigidity required for cold-formed steel construction applications where connection integrity is critical.
- Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating - delivers extra corrosion resistance to stand up to demanding job site conditions and help extend the service life of each connection.
- 50 connector angles per package - a bulk quantity that keeps framing crews stocked and working without repeated reordering during larger cold-formed steel projects.
Why This Product
- Engineered and tested for structural confidence - Simpson designs and tests its connectors to perform, meaning these rigid clip angles are built to meet the demands of real-world cold-formed steel framing rather than simply meeting minimum standards.
- Broad application coverage in a single clip - from jamb stud reinforcement and stud-blocking to u-channel bridging and curtain-wall framing, one connector style addresses a wide range of common cold-formed steel connections, reducing the number of different parts to manage on a job.
- Faster installation through smart design - prepunched holes paired with straightforward #10 screw installation mean crews spend less time on each connection and more time advancing the project, directly reducing labor costs.
- American-made quality with lasting corrosion protection - the G90 galvanized finish adds a meaningful layer of durability, making these clip angles a dependable choice for projects where long-term performance of steel framing connections matters.
