The StiffClip® HE series is used when connecting either beams to columns or headers to jambs. StiffClip HE transfers horizontal and large vertical loads from the beam to the column while incorporating a small shelf tab for alignment of JamStud® or box header during installation.

StiffClip HE(L) and HE(H) are designed to be used with typical box headers and incorporate stiffened ribs to protect the header ends from the effects of web crippling.

StiffClip HE(S) is designed to be used with a single TSN JamStud as the header member.  The StiffClip HE(S) is similar in design and thickness to StiffClip HE(H), but has a shorter height (3.5” for HE(S) versus 6” for HE(H)) to match the height of a single-piece header.
