The Simpson SFC 1-1/2 in. x 1-3/4 in. x 6-1/4 in. Steel Framing Connector is a low-cost, multi-use utility clip from Simpson engineered for light to moderate loading conditions in cold-formed steel framing. Designed specifically for CFS stud-to-stud and stud-to-structure connections where long leg lengths are not required, these clips deliver reliable structural performance while keeping installation straightforward and efficient. Each connector is made from 16-gauge steel with a G90 galvanized finish, making them a practical choice for a wide range of CFS applications including soft-side stud configurations and u-channel bridging.

Key Features

• Reduced screw count per connection - fewer fasteners required means lower material and labor costs on every installation.
• Prepunched fastener holes - eliminate the need for predrilling on site, saving time and reducing installation steps without sacrificing accuracy.
• Intuitive fastener hole positioning - guides accurate clip placement in accordance with design requirements, supports a wide range of applications, and gives installers built-in flexibility without guesswork.
• Soft-side stud compatible - the clip profile will not interfere with stud lips up to 3/4 in. long, making it suitable for a broader variety of CFS stud configurations.
• Also suited for u-channel bridging - adds versatility beyond stud-to-stud connections, reducing the number of different connector types needed on a job.
• 16-gauge (54 mil) steel construction - provides the structural integrity needed for light to moderate loading conditions in cold-formed steel framing systems.
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers extra corrosion resistance to help maintain long-term durability in demanding framing environments.

Why This Product

• Built to cut installation costs - the combination of prepunched holes and a reduced screw count directly lowers both labor time and fastener spend, making these clips a cost-efficient choice for CFS framing projects of any scale.
• Versatile across multiple CFS applications - equally at home in stud-to-stud connections, stud-to-structure connections, and u-channel bridging, these clips reduce the need to stock multiple connector types for a single job.
• Designed to work with soft-side studs without modification - the clip geometry accommodates stud lips up to 3/4 in. long, so installers can use a single connector type across varied stud profiles without workarounds or field adjustments.
• Trusted Simpson engineering for cold-formed steel - Simpson cold-formed steel connectors are purpose-built for CFS applications, with fastener hole layouts that align with design requirements and support accurate, code-consistent installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What gauge steel is the SFC6.25-R100 made from?

The SFC6.25-R100 is made from 16-gauge (54 mil) steel, providing solid structural performance suited for light to moderate loading conditions in cold-formed steel framing applications.

What corrosion protection does this connector provide?

This connector features a Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating, which provides extra corrosion resistance to help maintain long-term durability in cold-formed steel framing environments.

Will the SFC connector interfere with stud lips in soft-side stud installations?

No. In soft-side stud installations, the SFC will not interfere with stud lips up to 3/4 in. long, making it well-suited for a wide range of CFS stud configurations.

Can the SFC6.25 be used for applications other than stud-to-stud connections?

Yes. In addition to CFS stud-to-stud and stud-to-structure applications, the SFC connector is also suitable for u-channel bridging, offering multi-use versatility across various cold-formed steel framing projects.
