This is a \u003cstrong\u003erigid kneewall connector clip\u003c\/strong\u003e designed for \u003cstrong\u003ecold-formed steel wall anchorage\u003c\/strong\u003e. Model Number: \u003cstrong\u003eRCKW5.5-R10\u003c\/strong\u003e. If you are detailing or installing a connection where wall stability and anchorage options matter, this connector is doing a very specific structural job that a generic angle clip is not made to handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eWhat sets the RCKW5.5 apart inside the RCKW family is its anchorage layout. Simpson designed the RCKW5.5 and RCKW7.5 with \u003cstrong\u003ethree large holes\u003c\/strong\u003e for added versatility. The center hole supports a one-anchor solution at the edge or center of slab, while the outer holes support a two-anchor solution for applications that need higher capacities at the center of slab. That gives engineers and installers more flexibility when slab location, embedment limits, or anchorage demand changes the plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe connector body is made from \u003cstrong\u003e171 mil, 7 gauge steel\u003c\/strong\u003e with a \u003cstrong\u003e33 ksi\u003c\/strong\u003e material specification and a \u003cstrong\u003eG90 galvanized finish\u003c\/strong\u003e. In plain terms, this is not light sheet metal. The thicker section helps the clip resist deformation under load, and the galvanized coating helps protect the steel in typical construction environments. Simpson also calls out \u003cstrong\u003estiffened flanges\u003c\/strong\u003e in the anchorage legs, which are there to improve overturning moment resistance where the connector meets the support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eOn the fastening side, the RCKW system is built around real field use in \u003cstrong\u003ecold-formed steel construction\u003c\/strong\u003e. The larger-diameter anchor holes are sized to accommodate \u003cstrong\u003e1\/2 inch concrete screw anchors and wedge anchors\u003c\/strong\u003e, including Simpson options such as Titen HD heavy-duty screw anchors and Strong-Bolt 2 wedge anchors. Additional smaller-diameter anchor holes allow attachment to \u003cstrong\u003estructural steel with #12 self-drilling screws\u003c\/strong\u003e. Simpson also notes that attachment to \u003cstrong\u003eCMU\u003c\/strong\u003e can be achieved with Titen HD or Titen Turbo concrete and masonry screws. That broadens where the connector can be used without changing to a different clip style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eInstallation details matter with this kind of connector, and Simpson is clear about that. To achieve published load values, you need to use \u003cstrong\u003eall specified screw fasteners\u003c\/strong\u003e and all specified anchors. For the larger-diameter anchor holes, the bottom track must be \u003cstrong\u003epredrilled or punched with a 3\/4 inch hole\u003c\/strong\u003e. For concrete anchors, Simpson states the installation torque must be at least \u003cstrong\u003e17 ft-lb\u003c\/strong\u003e or the torque requirement of the anchor, whichever is greater, to achieve the tabulated stiffness values. That is the kind of detail that separates a connection that performs on paper from one that performs in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis specific package includes \u003cstrong\u003e10 connector clips\u003c\/strong\u003e, making it a practical fit for contractors, steel framers, and engineers working through repetitive wall conditions on commercial and residential projects. It is especially relevant for jobs involving \u003cstrong\u003ekneewall reinforcement\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eparapet anchorage\u003c\/strong\u003e, or \u003cstrong\u003epartial-height wall support\u003c\/strong\u003e where the connection has to resist moment and not just simple shear. If you are working in cold-formed steel and need a tested, purpose-built base connection with multiple anchorage paths, this is the right kind of hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails id=\"product-at-a-glance\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"stats-grid\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"stat-value\"\u003e5 1\/2 in.\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"stat-label\"\u003eLength (L)\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"stat-value\"\u003e171 mil\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"stat-label\"\u003eSteel Thickness\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"stat-value\"\u003e7 ga.\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"stat-label\"\u003eGauge\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"stat-value\"\u003e10\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"stat-label\"\u003ePack Quantity\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAnchorage Options That Fit the Job\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:\/\/ssttoolbox.widen.net\/content\/8qrzc9vdmy\/jpeg\/CF_RCKW_InstPho_Pho_Instld_MoreHoles-RigidKneeWall-BeforeTest_C0.jpeg?position=c\u0026amp;color=ffffffff\u0026amp;u=cjmyin\" alt=\"Simpson Strong-Tie RCKW5.5-R10 Rigid Kneewall Connector Clip installed at the base of a cold-formed steel wall on a slab, showing anchor and screw fastening in a real construction setting\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eThis connector earns its keep when the wall base condition is doing real structural work.
