Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie FC62-5/118-R25 is a heavy-duty, fixed-clip bypass framing connector engineered as the optimal solution for high-seismic applications. Built from 10-gauge (118-mil) G90 zinc-galvanized steel, these FC connectors deliver exceptional resistance to in-plane seismic loads, making them a trusted choice for engineers and contractors working in demanding structural environments. FC clips are commonly welded to the structure in high-seismic zones, but they also feature anchorage holes that accommodate concrete screws or powder-actuated fasteners, offering outstanding installation versatility. Prepunched screw holes for framing attachment eliminate the need for predrilling and ensure fastener placement consistently aligns with designer specifications. This package includes 25 connectors.
Key Features
- Intended to be used with 6-in. studs
- The maximum standoff distance is 1-1/2 in. for 6-in. studs
- Embossments in the bend line provide increased strength and stiffness in the F1 and F2 load directions, but are positioned towards the center of the clip so that 1-1/2 in. long welds can be applied at the top and bottom of the clip
- Prepunched large-diameter anchor holes accommodate 1/4-in. diameter concrete screws like the Simpson Strong-Tie Titen HD screw anchor
- Prepunched small-diameter anchor holes accommodate powder-actuated fasteners like the 0.157-in. diameter Simpson Strong-Tie PDPAT or #12 self-drilling Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive XL Large-Head Metal screw
- Made from 10-gauge (118-mil) steel
- Galvanized (G90) for extra corrosion resistance
- FC clips can be welded to the structure or anchored using concrete screws or powder-actuated fasteners
- Ideal for high-seismic areas where fixed-clip bypass framing solutions are required
- Manufactured in the United States
