Simpson Strong-Tie RCKW5.5-R10 - 5.5" Kneewall Connector Clip (Qty-10)

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.

Features

• RCKW5.5 has three large holes for added versatility — the center hole is for a one-anchor solution at the edge or center of slab; the outer holes are for a two-anchor solution that requires higher capacities at the center of slab
• Anchorage legs incorporate stiffened flanges, improving overturning moment resistance
• Large-diameter anchor holes accommodate 1/2-in. diameter concrete screw anchors and wedge anchors, such as the Simpson Strong-Tie Titen HD heavy-duty screw anchor and the Strong-Bolt 2 wedge anchor
• Additional smaller-diameter anchor holes enable attachment to structural steel through use of #12 self-drilling screws
• Attachment to CMU can be achieved with Titen HD or Titen Turbo concrete and masonry screw
• Width: 5 1/2 in.
• Made from 171 mil (7 ga.) steel
• Galvanized (G90) for corrosion resistance
