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.

Features

• In addition to our RCKW3 and RCKW3S with a large single bolt hole for 3 5/8" framing, we have the RCKW3D and RCKW3DS, which have two large holes for anchorage. This provides an option for more capacity in 3 5/8"-framed kneewalls.
• Anchorage legs incorporate stiffened flanges, improving overturning moment resistance.
• Large-diameter anchor holes accommodate 1/2"-diameter concrete screw anchor and wedge anchors, such as the Simpson Strong-Tie Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchor and the Strong-Bolt® 2 wedge anchor.
• The RCKW5.5 and RCKW7.5 have three large holes for added versatility. The center hole is for a one-anchor solution at the edge or center of slab. The outer holes are for a two-anchor solution that requires higher capacities at the center of slab. In addition, two 3/8" Titen HD screw anchors have been tested in the outer holes for shallow embedment conditions like fluted deck. The RCKW3 and RCKW3S have single large holes in the center, and the RCKW3D and RCKW3DS have two large holes on the outside for increased anchorage capacity
• Additional smaller-diameter anchor holes enable attachment to structural steel with #12 self-drilling screws.
• Attachment to CMU can be achieved with Titen HD or Titen Turbo™ concrete and masonry screws.
• For the RCKWS: 171 mil (7 ga.) stiffeners are secured to the RCKW clip with screws, optimizing overturning moment resistance and stiffness.
