The Simpson SCB49.5-KT Bypass Framing Slide Clip Connector is a time-saving, high-performance slide-clip connector from Simpson engineered for bypass framing and curtain-wall construction applications. Providing allowable anchorage loads with powder-actuated pins, screws, welds, or Simpson Strong-Tie Titen Turbo concrete screws eliminates the need to design this anchorage separately, simplifying the process for designers and reducing field labor and material costs. Where designs have typically required two parts to accommodate large stand-offs, the SCB connector can take their place - and the kit arrives complete with connectors and the required shouldered screws, ready for immediate installation.

Key Features

• Full 1 in. of bidirectional vertical movement - accommodates typical building movement in both upward and downward directions, making this connector well-suited for deflection and seismic applications in cold-formed steel construction.
• Precision-manufactured shouldered screws included - specifically engineered to prevent overdriving and ensure the clip functions as intended, protecting the integrity of the vertical movement without requiring additional hardware sourcing.
• Strategically placed stiffeners, embossments, and anchor holes - maximize connector load performance so designers can rely on published allowable anchorage values without separate engineering of that connection.
• Simpson Strong-Tie No-Equal stamps mark the center of each slot - guide installers to the correct shouldered-screw placement quickly and accurately, reducing the chance of field error and speeding up installation.
• Made from 54 mil (16 ga.) steel with a Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating - delivers the structural thickness and corrosion resistance needed for a wide range of bypass framing project conditions.
• Manufactured in different lengths to fit a variety of stand-off conditions and steel stud sizes - the 9-1/2 in. length of this connector addresses larger stand-off requirements that might otherwise demand a multi-part solution.

Why This Product

• Replaces two-part stand-off assemblies with a single connector - the SCB is designed to take the place of configurations that have traditionally required two separate parts for large stand-offs, directly cutting field labor time and reducing installed material costs on bypass framing projects.
• Everything needed for installation is in the box - the kit includes both the connectors and the correct quantity of XLSH34B1414 #14 shouldered screws, so crews can begin work immediately without hunting down compatible fasteners separately.
• Simplifies engineering and detailing for designers - by providing allowable anchorage loads for multiple fastener types, the SCB connector removes the burden of separately designing the anchorage connection, streamlining the documentation process for curtain-wall and cold-formed steel framing projects.
• Built-in installation guidance reduces field error - No-Equal stamps centered on each slot give installers a clear target for shouldered-screw placement, while the shouldered screws themselves prevent overdriving, so the clip performs as engineered without relying on installer judgment alone.
