SCW Head-of-Wall Slide-Clip Connector

SCW slide-clip connectors are primarily used in head-of-wall applications that require vertical movement relative to the structure. The connector can also be used
to strengthen window and door jambs for projects that utilize slip-track.

Features:

Provides a full 1" of both upward and downward movement
Clips that allow 1 3/8" of upward and downward movement are available by special order.
The precision-manufactured shouldered screws provided with the SCW connector are designed to prevent overdriving and to ensure the clip functions properly
Anchor holes located to maximize performance
Simpson Strong-Tie^® "No-Equal" stamps mark the center of the slots to help
ensure correct shouldered-screw placement

Material: 54 mil (16 ga.)

Finish: Galvanized (G90)

Installation:

Use the specified type and number of anchors.
Use the specified number of #14 shouldered screws (included). Install shouldered screws in the slots adjacent to the "No-Equal" stamp.

For additional important information, see General Notes for Allowable Connector Load Tables.
When the SCW5.5 connector is used with 2 shouldered screws, install screws in the outermost slots.
Allowable loads are based on clips installed with all holes in the anchor leg filled with #12-14 screws. For other anchorage installations, the capacity of the connection system will be the minimum of the tabulated value and the allowable load from the SCW Allowable Anchorage Loads table below.
