H Hybrid Connectors
Seismic & Hurricane Ties for Wood Truss or Joist to CFS Wall

Designed to provide seismic and wind ties for wood trusses or joists-to-CFS walls, this versatile line may be used for general purposes, strongback attachments, and as all-purpose ties where one member crosses another.

HS24 attaches the bottom chord of a truss or rafter at pitches from 0:12 to 4:12 to steel top plates.

Material: See table.

Finish: Galvanized. Selected products available in stainless steel or ZMAX®. See Corrosion Information.

Installation:

Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes
H1 can be installed with flanges facing inward (reverse of illustration 1).
Hurricane Ties do not replace solid blocking.
H2.5, H3, and H6 ties are only shipped in equal quantities of rights and lefts.

top Load Table: See code report listings below

Tabulated loads under the 133 and 160 columns have been increased by the wood load duration factor, CD, for seismic and wind loading and may not be increased. They must be reduced when other loads govern. Tabulated loads do not include the 1/3 stress increase.
Loads are based on attachment of cold-formed steel members having a minimum thickness of 33 mil (20 ga).
Hurricane Ties are shown installed on the outside of wall for clarity. Installation inside of wall is acceptable. For Continuous Load Path, connections must be on same side of wall.
When cross-grain bending or cross grain tension cannot be avoided mechanical reinforcement to resist such force should be considered.
