About Straps, Ties, Hurricane & Seismic Ties
Straps and ties tie the pieces of a wood-frame structure together, and they strengthen the connections that hold a wood-frame structure together. For homes along the Gulf Coast and other high-wind areas, hurricane ties at the rafter and truss to wall plate connection are a familiar part of the framing package.
Categories include straight straps, specialty straps, seismic and hurricane ties, girder tiedowns, stud plate ties, and angles and plates. Representative models are the H1A and H1.81Z hurricane ties, the H1APC hurricane tie in the Outdoor Accents black finish, the HTQ heavy T strap, the LSTA light strap tie, the PWF strap tie, the HTP tie plate, the TSP twist stud plate and the LDSS light diaphragm spline strap. Finishes include galvanized, ZMAX and stainless steel depending on model.
Specific models should be taken from the current Simpson catalog and the project plans. For a quote, send model numbers, quantities, finish and nails or screws.
