Simpson Strong-Tie Galvanized Silver Steel Panel Sheathing Clip 50 Pk

The Simpson Strong-Tie PSCL 5/8-R50 is a galvanized steel sheathing clip designed to brace unsupported plywood edges where panels meet edge to edge without a rafter for support. This essential framing connector reduces panel deflection and keeps sheathing panels even and level, maintaining the structural integrity and professional finish of your construction project.

Inserted over the edges of adjacent plywood panels, this clip solves common problems in roof and wall sheathing: it prevents panels from moving or sagging where they lack solid backing, and it maintains a precise 1/8-inch gap between panels to accommodate natural shrinkage and expansion of the wood. Whether you're building new construction, adding an extension, or performing renovation work, this clip ensures your sheathing stays aligned and performs as intended.
