This is a \u003cstrong\u003esteel stud connector designed for cold-formed steel construction and curtain-wall framing\u003c\/strong\u003e. Model Number: \u003cstrong\u003eSSC4.25-R50\u003c\/strong\u003e. If you need a rigid utility clip that installs fast and gives you a repeatable connection layout, this is the version with a 4-1\/4 inch length, 14 gauge thickness, and a 50-count package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eWhat makes this connector useful on real jobs is the prepunched hole pattern. You are not stopping to predrill each clip, which helps reduce installation time and keeps the fastener layout where the design intends it to be. Simpson also calls out the intuitive fastener hole positions, and that is not just brochure talk. On framing work, clean hole placement helps the crew install clips more consistently, especially when repeating the same detail across multiple bays or elevations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe SSC4.25-R50 is part of Simpson Strong-Tie's SSC connector family, which is built for versatility in cold-formed steel applications. This specific model uses 68 mil steel with a 50 ksi material rating and a G90 galvanized finish. In practical terms, that means you are getting a rigid formed clip with corrosion-resistant coating suited to standard cold-formed steel framing environments where galvanized hardware is specified. The 14 gauge build gives it the stiffness expected for structural connector use without stepping up to the heavier MSSC series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe 2-1\/4 inch by 4 inch geometry and 4-1\/4 inch overall length are what define where this clip fits best. Simpson notes that the angle length accommodates either hard-side or soft-side attachment for studs and joists with return lips up to 3\/4 inch, and the 4 inch leg length enables soft-side connections for studs and joists with flanges up to 3 inches. That matters if you are laying out connections in steel stud framing and need one clip style that can cover more than one framing condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis connector is also suitable for u-channel bridging, which adds another use case beyond basic stud clip duties. For contractors working in curtain-wall construction, bypass framing, header and jamb details, or general cold-formed steel framing, having a utility clip that can handle multiple connection scenarios helps cut down on part changes and field confusion. As always with structural connectors, Simpson specifies that the correct fasteners must be installed in the correct positions to achieve published load values, and all specified fasteners or anchors should be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFrom a jobsite practicality standpoint, this is a straightforward hardware choice for framing crews, panelization shops, and commercial contractors who already work from engineered cold-formed steel details. It is not a generic angle bracket. It is a purpose-built connector from a known structural hardware manufacturer, and the prepunched pattern is part of the system. If your plans call for SSC clips, this pack gives you the exact 4.25 inch, 14 gauge, G90 galvanized version in a 50-count box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eWho should buy it? Cold-formed steel framers, curtain-wall installers, commercial metal framing crews, and builders following specified Simpson connection details. If you need a steel stud clip for repeated framing connections and want the correct geometry, coating, and pack quantity without guessing, the SSC4.25-R50 is the right fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesigned for Real Framing Conditions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"img\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/10497950449958_beee58e2ce82.jpg\" alt=\"Simpson Strong-Tie SSC4.25-R50 steel stud clip installed on steel framing members in a cold-formed steel structural connection on a commercial jobsite\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eThis clip is made for actual cold-formed steel framing work, not light-duty hardware use.
