The Simpson SCB47.5-KT Bypass Framing Slide-Clip Connector Kit from Simpson Strong-Tie is a time-saving, high-performance solution engineered for bypass framing and curtain-wall construction applications. Designed to simplify project detailing and reduce field labor and material costs, this slide-clip connector accommodates a variety of stand-off conditions and cold-formed steel stud sizes. Where traditional designs have required two separate parts to handle large stand-offs, the SCB connector takes their place - streamlining installation without compromising structural performance. Allowable anchorage loads are established for powder-actuated pins, screws, welds, and Simpson Strong-Tie Titen Turbo concrete screws, eliminating the need to independently design connector anchorage for these methods. This kit includes 25 connectors and 83 precision-manufactured XLSH34B1414 #14 shouldered screws, providing everything needed for immediate installation right out of the package.

Key Features

• Full 1 in. of bidirectional vertical movement - accommodates both upward and downward structural deflection, making this connector well-suited for seismic and deflection-critical bypass framing assemblies.
• Precision-manufactured shouldered screws included - designed to prevent overdriving and ensure the clip functions correctly, protecting allowable load ratings and eliminating the need to source fasteners separately.
• Strategically placed stiffeners, embossments, and anchor holes - engineered details that maximize connector performance and structural efficiency in cold-formed steel applications.
• Simpson Strong-Tie No-Equal stamps mark the center of the slots - serve as a built-in placement guide to help ensure correct shouldered-screw positioning during installation, reducing the chance of field error.
• Made from 54 mil (16 ga.) steel with G90 galvanized coating - provides the structural strength and corrosion resistance required for long-term performance in demanding construction environments.

Why This Product

• Replaces two-part stand-off solutions in a single connector - the SCB design consolidates what has traditionally required multiple components into one connector, directly reducing field labor hours and material costs on bypass framing projects.
• Pre-established anchorage load values save design time - with tested allowable loads for multiple anchorage methods already defined, engineers and designers can eliminate a separate anchorage design step, simplifying project documentation and detailing.
• Kit format with matched fasteners means no guesswork on-site - the included XLSH34B1414 #14 shouldered screws are the exact fasteners specified for this connector, so crews have the right components at hand without additional procurement.
• Versatile across multiple construction applications - rated and appropriate for bypass framing, curtain-wall construction, deflection conditions, cold-formed steel assemblies, and seismic new construction, making it a flexible choice across a range of project types.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much vertical movement does the SCB47.5 slide-clip connector allow?

The SCB connector provides a full 1 in. of both upward and downward movement, accommodating structural deflection in bypass framing assemblies.

Why are shouldered screws required with this connector?

The precision-manufactured shouldered screws included with the SCB connector are specifically designed to prevent overdriving and to ensure the clip functions properly. Using the correct screw type is essential to maintaining the connector's performance and allowable load ratings.

Does this kit include the necessary fasteners?

Yes. Each SCB47.5-KT kit includes 25 connectors and 83 XLSH34B1414 #14 shouldered screws - everything needed to install the clips right out of the package.

What anchorage methods are compatible with the SCB connector?

Allowable anchorage loads have been tested and established for powder-actuated pins, screws, welds, and Simpson Strong-Tie Titen Turbo concrete screws, eliminating the need to independently design connector anchorage for these methods.
