Simpson Strong-Tie® RCKW5.5-R10 Kneewall Connector, 7 ga, 3-1/2 in L x 5-1/2 in W, Steel

Simpson Strong-Tie® Kneewall Connector, Series: RCKW, 7 ga, 3-1/2 in Length, 5-1/2 in Width, Steel, G90 Galvanized. The Simpson Strong-Tie® RCKW rigid connectors have been developed to resist overturning moment at the base of exterior kneewalls and parapets as well as interior partial-height walls. These connectors offer a unique anchor-hole pattern that permits anchorage to both concrete and structural steel, with the larger hole designed to accommodate 1/2 in-diameter concrete screws such as the Simpson Strong-Tie® Titen HD®. 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.

Features
