This is a \u003cstrong\u003eslide-clip connector kit\u003c\/strong\u003e designed for \u003cstrong\u003ebypass framing applications\u003c\/strong\u003e. Model Number: \u003cstrong\u003eSCB45.5-KT\u003c\/strong\u003e. If you are detailing steel-stud framing that needs to accommodate vertical movement without losing a secure attachment point, this connector is built for exactly that job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFor this specific SCB45.5-KT version, you are getting a 5-1\/2 inch long connector made from 54 mil, 16 gauge steel with a G90 galvanized finish. The big functional point here is the connector provides a full 1 inch of both upward and downward movement. In real jobsite terms, that means it helps the bypass framing connection absorb expected building movement while maintaining attachment to the supporting structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eSimpson Strong-Tie designed the SCB series to save time in design, detailing, and installation. Instead of forcing installers to work around a connection that does not allow for movement, the slotted clip format handles that need directly. Strategically placed stiffeners, embossments, and anchor holes are there for a reason: they help maximize connector performance while keeping installation straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eOne of the more useful design details is the included precision-made shouldered screws. These are not just thrown in as hardware. They are meant to prevent overdriving and help the clip function properly once installed. Simpson also stamps the center of the slots with its No-Equal mark so the installer can place the shouldered screws where the connector is intended to move. That matters, because a slide clip only does its job if the fasteners are in the right place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe SCB45.5-KT kit includes 25 connectors and 83 XLSH34B1414 #14 shouldered screws. That makes it a practical packaged solution for crews handling steel framing, curtain wall support conditions, and similar commercial framing work where repeatable hardware matters. It is also available in other lengths within the SCB family for different stand-off conditions, but this specific model is the 5-1\/2 inch version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFrom a corrosion-resistance standpoint, the G90 galvanized coating is the standard finish on this model. From an installation standpoint, Simpson specifies using the required type and number of anchors, installing the included shouldered screws in the slots adjacent to the No-Equal stamp, and using a maximum of one screw per slot. Those are not throwaway instructions. They are what keep the connector working as published.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis connector makes the most sense for commercial framing contractors, steel-stud crews, exterior wall framing installers, and engineers or detailers specifying bypass framing hardware. If your work involves cold-formed steel framing that has to allow for vertical deflection without fighting the structure, this is the kind of part that saves headaches later. If you just need a generic bracket, this is more specialized than you need. If you need a real deflection connector for steel framing, it is right in its lane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits-1\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandles Movement Without Fighting the Wall Assembly\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\/bdwnvioiiy\/jpeg\/CF_SCB_InstPho_Pho_Instld_BypassFramingSlideClipConnector-Concrete_C0.jpeg?position=c\u0026amp;color=ffffffff\u0026amp;u=cjmyin\" alt=\"Simpson Strong-Tie SCB45.5-KT Slide-Clip Connector Kit installed in bypass framing at a steel stud and structural beam connection below a concrete slab\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eWhen a bypass framing connection needs to stay attached and still allow vertical movement, this clip is doing the heavy lifting.
