The Simpson SC62-5/118-KT25 Bypass Framing Slide-Clip Connector is a heavy-duty cold-formed steel connector engineered for slide-clip bypass framing on 6 in. studs, with a design that makes it the go-to choice for curtain-wall construction and new seismic installations. Built by Simpson to deliver reliable in-plane seismic load resistance, these connectors support three distinct attachment methods - welding, concrete screws, or powder-actuated fasteners - giving structural professionals the flexibility to meet project-specific requirements without substitution. No-Equal stamps centered on the slots confirm correct shouldered screw placement in the field, reducing installation errors on demanding framing assemblies. Each kit ships ready to install, including 25 connectors and 83 precision-manufactured XLSH78B1414 #14 shouldered screws.

Key Features

• Full 3/4 in. of upward and downward deflection - accommodates structural movement in both directions, protecting the framing assembly under live load and seismic drift without requiring additional components.
• Embossments positioned at the bend line center - increase strength and stiffness in the F1 and F2 load directions while keeping the top and bottom of the clip clear for 1 1/2 in. welds, so contractors retain full weld-length capacity without compromise.
• Prepunched large-diameter anchor holes - accept 1/4 in. diameter concrete screws such as the Simpson Titen HD, providing a fast, reliable mechanical attachment option where welding is not preferred.
• Prepunched small-diameter anchor holes - accommodate powder-actuated fasteners like the 0.157 in. diameter Simpson PDPAT or the #12 self-drilling Simpson Strong-Drive XL Large-Head Metal screw, giving crews a third anchorage method suited to varied substrate conditions.
• Precision-manufactured shouldered screws included - engineered specifically to prevent overdriving, ensuring the slide-clip deflection slot functions as intended and the connection performs to rated capacity.
• No-Equal stamps centered on the slots - serve as a built-in visual guide for correct screw placement, reducing the risk of misaligned fasteners and costly field corrections.
• Made from 118 mil (10 ga.) steel at 50 ksi - provides the structural strength required for high-seismic bypass framing applications, meeting the heavy-duty demands of curtain-wall and cold-formed steel construction.
• Kit includes 25 connectors and 83 XLSH78B1414 #14 shouldered screws - everything needed for a complete installation arrives together, eliminating separate fastener sourcing and keeping projects on schedule.

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for high-seismic bypass framing - the SC connector is specifically engineered to resist in-plane seismic loads, making it a trusted choice for seismic new construction and curtain-wall assemblies where structural integrity under lateral forces is non-negotiable.
• Three anchorage options in a single connector - the ability to weld, screw, or fasten with powder-actuated tools means the same clip adapts to concrete, steel, or mixed substrates, reducing the need to specify different products for different conditions on the same job.
• Integrated installation accuracy features - No-Equal stamps and precision shouldered screws work together to eliminate guesswork, so the deflection mechanism performs correctly from the first installation through the life of the structure.
• Complete, ready-to-install kit from a single trusted source - connectors and matched shouldered screws are packaged together by Simpson, ensuring compatibility between components and removing a common point of failure when fasteners are sourced separately.
