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

Material: See table.

Finish: Galvanized. Available with ZMAX® coating; see Corrosion Information.

Installation:

Use all specified fasteners.
The S/H1 can be installed with flanges facing outwards (reverse of illustration 1) when installed inside a wall for truss applications.
Hurricane Ties do not replace solid blocking.
S/H2.5, S/H3 and H6 ties are only shipped in equal quantities of rights and lefts.

Tabulated loads are governed by tests and may not be increased. Refer to Steel Stress Increase for additional information.
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.
