The Engineered Choice: Introducing Simpson Strong-Tie Connectors for Curtain-Wall Construction

The new line of slide-clip and fixed-clip connectors for cold-formed steel curtain-wall construction offers a total design solution. Unlike other manufacturers in the industry, Simpson Strong-Tie provides the load values for the connector and its anchorage to the structure, thus minimizing calculations for the Designer. Through extensive R&D and testing, these new steel-stud framing connectors also can accommodate stand-offs up to 11¼" in a variety of conditions, offering Designers an engineered choice for curtain-wall projects.

The new slide-clip connectors enable the structural building frame to deflect independently of the curtain-wall system:

• SCB Bypass Framing Slide-Clip Connector
• SCW Head-of-Wall Slide-Clip Connector
• SSB Bypass Framing Slide-Clip Connector

In addition to supporting the dead load of the curtain wall from the structural frame, the fixed-clip connector can be used for a variety of other curtain-wall, load-bearing and roof-framing applications:

• FCB Bypass Framing Fixed-Clip Connector
