Simpson Strong-tie Pscl 7/16-r50 Plywood Sheathing Clip, 20-gauge, 50-pack

The Simpson Strong-Tie PSCL 7/16-R50 is a galvanized steel sheathing clip designed to brace unsupported edges when plywood panels meet edge to edge without a rafter for support. This lightweight hardware component is essential for roof and wall sheathing applications where panels require structural alignment and edge support without the need for additional framing or nails.

When plywood sheathing is installed, panels naturally experience shrinkage and expansion due to moisture and temperature changes. The PSCL clip solves this problem by maintaining proper spacing between adjacent panels while keeping them even and level. By inserting the clip over the edges of adjacent plywood panels, it reduces deflection and ensures a stable, level plane across your structure—a critical requirement for professional-grade construction and home improvement projects.
