Cold-Formed Steel Connectors

Cold-formed steel framing is common in mid-rise and commercial buildings, and it relies on purpose-built connectors at every wall, floor and roof connection. Simpson Strong-Tie offers a broad line of cold-formed steel connectors for that work.

Families include rigid connectors, deflection connectors, drift connectors, lateral connectors, ties and straps, joist framing connectors, holdowns and tension ties, bridging and bracing, concrete connectors, and roof truss and rafter connectors. Curved Framing Products are one-piece, hand-formable connectors that hold their shape with fewer fasteners, which helps on radius walls and soffits. Simpson also offers CFS Designer software for AISI beam-column member design.

Connector selection on a CFS project normally comes from the structural drawings or the framing engineer, so the most useful thing to send with a quote request is the connector schedule. Include model numbers, quantities, stud and track sizes, and any fasteners required. Axiom South builds an itemized quote from your list and ships to all 50 states.
