Simpson RCKW5.5-R10 Rigid Kneewall Connector Clip - 10 Pack

The Simpson Strong-Tie® RCKW is a heavy 171 mil (7 ga.) rigid connector that has been developed to resist overturning moment at the base of exterior kneewalls and parapets as well as interior partial-height walls or overhead ribbon window conditions. These connectors offer a unique small and large anchor-hole pattern that permits anchorage to both concrete and structural steel. If load requires more capacity, a stiffener, the RCKWS can be added. The RCKWS is a heavy 171 mil (7 ga.) stiffener that nests onto the RCKW clip. The screw holes and anchor holes in the stiffener line up with those in the RCKW clip, making fastener and anchor installation a snap. The RCKW clip and RCKWS stiffener are sold separately.

This Simpson Strong-Tie product is designed for demanding construction, connector, fastening, anchoring, and structural applications where dependable performance, durability, and jobsite-ready installation are important. It belongs to the Cold-Formed Steel Connectors product family. It includes a Zinc Galvanized, G90 finish for added durability.
