Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between the FSB and the SSB connector?
- The FSB connector is the fixed-clip version of the popular Simpson Strong-Tie SSB slide-clip strut connector. While the SSB features a sliding clip design, the FSB uses a fixed-clip configuration, making it well suited for applications where a rigid, non-adjustable connection is required.
- Where is the FSB3.518 connector typically used?
- The FSB connector is commonly used at the bottom flange of a steel beam to accommodate large standoff distances for bypass curtain-wall studs, making it a go-to choice for curtain-wall construction projects.
- Can the FSB connector be trimmed if it extends into interior space?
- Yes. If the FSB intrudes on interior space, it can be trimmed; however, the trimmed part shall allow an edge distance of 1/2 in. or greater from the center of the nearest anchor to the end of the trimmed part.
- What material and finish does the FSB3.518 connector use?
- The FSB3.518 connector is made from 54 mil (16 ga.) steel and features a Zinc Galvanized (G90) finish for corrosion resistance, ensuring durability in demanding cold-formed steel construction environments.
