Truss to Top Track

Roof Rafter to Ridge Beam

Jack Truss to Girder Truss

Header to Jamb Stud

The FCB clip is an economical, high-performance fixed-clip connector that can be used for a variety of framing applications. It is rated for tension, compression and shear loads and offers the Designer the flexibility of specifying different screw and anchorage patterns that conform to desired load levels.

Features:

Rated for tension, compression and shear loads
Provides design flexibility with varying screw and anchorage patterns that achieve different load levels
Strategically placed stiffeners, embossments and anchor holes maximize connector performance

Material: 54 mil (16 ga.)

Finish: Galvanized (G90)

Installation:

Use the specified type and number of anchors.
Use the specified number of #12 self-drilling screws to CFS framing.

For additional important information, see General Notes for Allowable Connector Load Tables.
Allowable loads for #12-14 self-drilling screws are based on a minimum P_ss = 2560 lbs. and P_ts = 2595 lbs.
Min. fastener quantity and load values–fill all round holes; max. fastener quantity and load values–fill all round and triangular holes.
Allowable loads are based on clip capacity only and do not consider anchorage. The capacity of the connection system will be the minimum of the tabulated value and the allowable load from the FCB Allowable Anchorage Loads table below.

For additional important information, see General Notes for Allowable Anchorage Load Tables.
Min. and max. refer to stud fasteners. See FCB Allowable Connector Loads table above.
Allowable loads are for clip anchorage only. The capacity of the connection system will be the minimum of the tabulated value and the allowable load from the FCB Allowable Connector Loads table above.
