Connector Selector® Software
The Simpson Connector Selector tells you which products are appropriate for your connection then sorts them by least installed cost. The built-in Job List can track your projects and print a shopping list, including nails! An easy to use stock list identifies which products you keep in stock.
US (Allowable Stress Design) and Canadian (Limit States Design) versions are available on this page. Enter your email address below. For European editions of the Connector Selector software
