Wooden structure connector RCKW

stainless steel

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. The RCKWS is a heavy 7-gauge 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. Key Features Anchorage legs incorporate stiffened flanges, improving overturning moment resistance Large-diameter anchor hole accommodates 1/2"-diameter concrete screws and wedge anchors, such as the Titen HD® heavy-duty screw and the Strong-Bolt® 2 wedge anchor For the RCKWS: 7-gauge stiffeners are secured to the RCKW clip with screws, optimizing overturning moment resistance and stiffness Material RCKW and RCKWS: 171 mil (7 ga.), 33 ksi Finish Galvanized (G90) Installation Use all specified screw fasteners. When using the RCKWS, secure the stiffener to the clip with the specified screw fasteners. Use all specified anchors. To achieve tabulated stiffness values, the installation torque for 1/2"-diameter anchors shall be at least 17 ft.-lb.
