The Simpson SCB45.5-KT Bypass Framing Slide-Clip Connector is a time-saving, high-performance solution engineered specifically for bypass framing and curtain-wall construction where vertical movement and stand-off clearance must be carefully managed. Simpson Strong-Tie designed the SCB connector to simplify design and detailing for engineers and specifiers while reducing field labor and material costs. Allowable anchorage loads are provided for multiple attachment methods - including powder-actuated pins, screws, welds, and Simpson Strong-Tie Titen Turbo concrete screws - eliminating the need to independently engineer connector anchorage on each project. For conditions that have typically required two separate parts to accommodate large stand-offs, a single SCB connector can take their place, streamlining cold-formed steel framing installations in both standard and seismic new construction applications.

Key Features

• Full 1 in. of bidirectional vertical movement - accommodates both upward and downward structural deflection, giving engineers the range needed to handle real-world building movement without compromise.
• Precision-manufactured XLSH34B1414 #14 shouldered screws included - engineered specifically to prevent overdriving and ensure the clip functions as intended, so installation is correct the first time without additional hardware sourcing.
• Strategically placed stiffeners, embossments, and anchor holes - these structural details maximize connector performance and load capacity, delivering reliable results across approved bypass framing applications.
• Simpson Strong-Tie No-Equal stamps mark the center of each slot - these built-in visual guides help installers place shouldered screws correctly every time, reducing field error and speeding up the installation process.
• 5-1/2 in. length in 54 mil (16 ga.) steel - the longer profile accommodates a variety of stand-off conditions and steel stud sizes, making this connector adaptable across a range of framing configurations.
• Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - provides corrosion resistance suited for the demanding environments common in commercial and curtain-wall construction.

Why This Product

• One connector replaces two - for designs that previously required two separate parts to handle large stand-off conditions, the SCB connector handles the job alone, directly reducing material costs and field labor time.
• Engineered anchorage loads eliminate extra design work - because allowable loads are pre-established for multiple attachment methods including powder-actuated pins, screws, welds, and Simpson Strong-Tie Titen Turbo concrete screws, designers and specifiers can skip the step of independently calculating connector anchorage on each project.
• Everything needed for installation ships in one package - the kit includes both the slide-clip connectors and the precision-matched shouldered screws, so crews can get to work immediately without tracking down separate fastener orders.
• Built-in installation accuracy features reduce costly field errors - No-Equal slot-center stamps and shouldered screws designed to prevent overdriving work together to help ensure every connector is installed correctly, protecting structural performance and reducing rework on the jobsite.
