This is a rigid connector angle designed for anchoring steel stud framing to concrete in framing, shear, tension, and light-duty moment connection applications. Model Number: \u003cstrong\u003eRCA-C225\/97-R55\u003c\/strong\u003e. If you are tying a stud wall or framing member into a slab or concrete support and need a tested connector with multiple fastening options, this is the part you look at first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eWhat makes this connector useful on the job is not just the steel thickness, but how the hole pattern is laid out. The 2 inch x 2 inch legs give you enough room to work at both the framing side and the concrete side, and the prepunched holes mean you are not wasting time drilling the connector in the field. On the anchor leg, Simpson gives you options for one 1\/2 inch diameter anchor, two 1\/4 inch diameter anchors, or two 1\/4 inch diameter concrete screws. That flexibility lets the same connector fit different design conditions without making the installer fight the hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe RCA-C225\/97-R55 is made from 97 mil, 12-gauge steel with a G90 galvanized finish. In plain terms, this is a thick stamped steel angle with corrosion-resistant coating intended for framing connections where strength and consistency matter. Multiple screw pattern options to the stud framing side allow different load ratings depending on the specified fastener pattern and framing member thickness. That is important because this is not a one-size-fits-all bracket. It is a connector meant to be selected and installed as part of a specific connection design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eSimpson also positions this model to do more than one job. It can be used as a heavy-duty shear and tension connector or as a light-duty moment connection. That gives engineers and installers a practical option when a basic clip angle is not enough, but a more complicated fabricated connection would slow the job down or add cost. The connector has been load rated and tested, which is exactly what you want when the connection is doing real work and cannot be treated like generic hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFor installation, the big practical point is straightforward: use all specified fasteners. The connector's published performance depends on the exact anchor choice, screw pattern, number of fasteners to the stud, and framing member thickness. The available anchor options include 1\/2 inch diameter Titen HD, 1\/2 inch diameter Strong-Bolt 2, 1\/4 inch diameter Titen HD, and 1\/4 inch diameter Titen Turbo fasteners for attachment to concrete or masonry. That compatibility gives crews a little breathing room if the connection design calls for one anchor approach over another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis connector is a good fit for commercial framing contractors, drywall and interior framing crews, general contractors, and engineers working with cold-formed steel construction. If you need a clean way to connect steel stud framing to concrete without drilling custom holes in the field, the Simpson Strong-Tie RCA-C225\/97-R55 rigid connector angle is the kind of hardware that keeps the connection predictable and the install moving.\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:\/\/ssttoolbox.widen.net\/content\/vp8kkrvdnr\/jpeg\/CF_RCA-C223-97_InstPho_RI_Instld_RigidConnectorAngle-THD50500H-With6Screws_C0.jpeg?position=c\u0026amp;color=ffffffff\u0026amp;u=cjmyin\" alt=\"Simpson Strong-Tie RCA-C225\/97-R55 rigid connector angle installed at the base of steel stud framing on a concrete slab in a framing application\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eThis connector is built for the kind of base-of-wall attachment detail crews deal with all the time.
